i bought this in 38 last archive sale, it’s the nicest jacket I own and made me never want to buy a newer drakes jacket again seeing as this older style fits and looks so much better

Who bought the Brownwatch jacket in 38 last time though? Loved that thing...

How is the fit? I’m mainly concerned about length as I’m usually a 42long. I could do it if it was at least 30”.

I can only really comment on length relating to my 38, but it runs slightly longer than my other, more recent, drakes jackets.
I’d take a leap if you’re considering and can afford and return if you don’t like. I say that as I bought on a whim, not expecting to like it anywhere near as much. It’s become my favourite blazer.

Ok that was my other question ... these archive sale items CAN be returned?

I was able to return an item in the last sale, the automatic return didn't work and I had to reach out but customer service helped me out it just took a little longer. Not bad overall.

Ordered.

I've been mildly obsessed with getting a brown glen check sport coat since the Bruce Boyer article on put this on.

It’s been so many years since I started buying clothes from Drake’s exclusively, I’ve lost touch. Anyone recommend any similar brands with a high quality of craftsmanship, but modern-prep style?

Many different brands produce single pieces that excite me, but there are only three brands that I think I could wear exclusively, which means that I think they each produce comprehensive looks that I’m comfortable in yet don’t find boring, have a good deal of utility in their garments (well-placed pockets and such), and are also incredibly well-made. Drake’s is one, so to begin to answer your question I’ll just point you in the direction of the other two: SEH Kelly and De Bonne Facture. Both are forum affiliates and both are run by absolutely marvelous people, which is an added benefit over a brand like Drake’s, which is a bit too big for its designers to interact directly with its customers.
