The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[CasuallyWorked]

I was browsing various blog posts on black friday sales and ran across these:

They are definitely the same as the drake's versions but in different colors. I dig the drake's versions but also like the taupe-ish jcrew color, which I got in the desert boot. I can't make out any difference except for the suede color.

I know the astorflex-branded versions have been discussed quite a bit, but I don't think these versions have been mentioned. Make of it what you will.

Sizing is tts, but as mentioned in comparisons between the drakes and astorflex-branded one, this fits a bit tighter.

They're not the same at least for the regular chukkas. I actually bought both and returned the j.crew ones. The sole is thinner, they're a little shorter, and fit just a little bit more snug. Minor differences, but for a lot less so ..

That split-toe seam from top down... oof. Why'd they photograph a pair that wouldn't even pass Allen Edmonds quality control?

Anyone with experience with the shirts? Am a bit longer in the arms, wanted to see if there were any comments how the length hits.

I thought there were measurements on the site, but can’t find them now. My experience is that the sleeves are cut with a relatively small wrist/cuff and longer sleeves to accommodate most sleeve lengths.

Was waiting to cop the green shawl collar cardigan. Looks like my size has already been snagged. Damn.

I have several of the shirts and love them. I normally take a 35-36 inch sleeve size and these fit fine.

You can still find the measurements on other sites carrying the shirts, including the Rake and Mr Porter.

That looks like a standout piece. I bought a green casentino gilet.

you could call the nyc store and see if they know the fabric weight. weight alone won't tell you everything, but it'll give you some idea. my guess is that it's the kind of coat that would work in temps below 60 though.

Should I get the knitted polo? I snoozed on the Anglo Italian one which has raglan sleeves that I prefer. Decisions, decisions.

Does anyone know if the sale will go deeper on the discounts? Also, I am kinda surprised that the sale inventory isn't moving all that fast. Keep seeing several items I figure will be sold out on Sale but they have all the sizes available.
