The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[SimonC]

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.

Have you looked at other sources? I’m in the UK, but have seen Drakes being discounted more heavily by retailers such as Liberty and Mr Porter than by Drakes themselves....

Would someone who wears 16.5 in shirts get a 44 in the rollneck?

Is it possible to get something shipped to the US from the UK website? The prices are certainly cheaper (Especially without VAT). I tried emailing earlier this week but haven't heard anything back.

Yes

he 16.5 fits me great. but I have to move up to a 44 or 46 in the sweaters depending on how loose I want it.

Yes

Do you have to email to do this? Would save me a fair bit also.

FWIW I tried doing that UK shipped to US and was pretty much told no despite the fact that the item I wanted was OOS on webstore and NY store but UK store had it but YMMV

I have three sweaters from Drake's, including a rollneck. Assuming their rollnecks are cut the same from a few seasons ago, I find their knits are generally tagged according to chest size, not the wearer's size. That is, if a sweater is tagged 42, that means it measures 21" across the chest, pit to pit. Not that it's meant for someone with a 42 chest.

I'm a 38 chest and generally wear a 42 under that rubric.

@duff406 emailed, I think that is how I got my first overshirt

 

[gettoasty]

I may have called. Remember talking to someone about it.

I was also told no when I tried. They said I had to go through the US website to make a purchase

I think the purpose of the website update was to squeez out as much as possible from customers, by making them pay country-specific prices. You also can't order to other EU countries while paying GBP prices anymore. German prices are almost the same as UK prices, plus delivery is now included. Scandinavian deliveries are now subject to a pretty hefty premium (more than VAT differences).
