The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

Anyone dig the ecru jeans? Given how the color looks on the website I would say they are pretty versatile.

Check out this lookbook if you haven't already, it's my favorite of the season:

A Tweed Story

When it comes to dressing for the colder months, few fabrics do the job quite like tweed. We put this season's tweed jackets in the spotlight, dressed up and down. Photography by Isaac Marley-Morgan.

I'm fairly certain the jeans the model is wearing are the Stone Wash

Yeh it’s great. Definitely the stone wash I’d say

Def dig the ecru. I like that it's more of a true cream, less of a pure white. Makes them much more versatile and less showy. Plus they're nice and soft.

I also like how that lookbook pairs the ecru jeans with the glen check tweed sportcoat. Beautiful combo.

How do the older ecru jeans fit compared to the raw denim that was in the last archive sale? I’m typically a 32 and sized down to 31 in the raw denim per ppls feedback here and the 31 fit well.

Are the 5-pocket selvedge denim jeans sanforized? In general has anyone noticed any drastic shrinking of their Drake's denim? I suppose the newly released washes likely wouldn't shrink much.

I have the Made in England raw denim. Washed them once on cold and they‘ve shrunken about 3cm in length. No apprent shrinkage in thighs etc.

Cheaney for Drake's Whiskey Grain Leather Plain Toe Derby Shoe

100% Leather. Made in Northampton, England.

www.drakes.com

this is a nice shoe, looks really close to CJ ashdown (which I like a lot), though not sure how they can win with these kind of pricing in the internet era.

I'm like 95% sure with 5 second google I can find a place in UK that ship this ex. VAT and come out like $90~$100 cheaper even with shipping (though return might be a hassle?)

Looks like there's a new model featured in some of the stock photos--does this signal that a new collection is forthcoming?

I think I click into it via some email they sent (which I deleted already...), so I assume so
