Anyone have photos of the hats on?
I just got the Basketweave blazer and the suit. The blazer weaver, which has horn buttons, is slightly more airy. But the suit jacket can be worn as a blazer as well.Definitely can be worn as a separate, hopsack and patch pockets make it casual enough.
Question. Are all drakes blazers and jackets unlined? Any particular reason if so? I’d think winter jackets should be lined but maybe they use heavier materials? Also many of the unlined wools can show the shirt color vaguely underneath, no? Doesn’t that really make the suits quite informal ? As in not for any formal office setting ?

So then when you're at a store, the salesperson can say "oh look, the cuff buttons also work."
I guess it's one less alteration at the tailor but as someone who usually needs arms shortened on jackets, it makes shopping for RTW very frustrating IMO.
When I ordered my suits one came from Nyc and one from London. The Nyc suits are unfinished so you can take them up at the cuffs. The London have the cut button holes. Don’t ask me why this is so. Maybe brits genetically have longer arms ?Fully agree, I take working buttonholes as a negative, I always need to get my sleeves shortened and adjusting at the shoulders is harder, more expensive, and often results in inferior results. Unfinished sleeves should be the true mark of quality!
To add to this, I've got two of the "heavy weight linen" over shirts and they're fantastic
Can anyone speak to the sizing on the 100% linen overshirts? I have a 41" chest measurement and typically wear 40R in sport coats ... would a Medium or Large be most appropriate?
I’ve just purchased one and took an XL. I typically wear 42R and love the fit of the XL. I could have taken a L as well, but think that these look better when not perfectly fitted (hence overshirt, I suppose).Can anyone speak to the sizing on the 100% linen overshirts?
