The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[bostndreamdonut]

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.

+1 for DBF. Underrated.

Let us know how you get on!

Ordered.

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

Will do, thanks for the feedback on the jacket.

Been lurking for sometime and finally decided to make an account!

Thanks to the post from @cristofromkensington about when the sale will start, I managed to get in at the start and snagged the following ,

- Green Archer Sweatshirt
- Green Cotton Full Sleeve Polo
- Navy Bedford A-1 Jacket
- Ecru Cotton Games Jacket

Got a shipment this notification this morning but it seems like the Ecru Cotton Jacket didn't get shipped (but I did see its amount added to my total invoice that came with the shipping notification)

I went back later at night and also ordered the Olive Linen D-43 in a separate order and that hasn't shipped yet so hoping that comes through ?

That brown glen looks beautiful and will work with almost any trouser

Buying stuff from the full-price section just to feel something.

I grab one OCBD in 15.5, my first Drake‘s. Really curious about it!

Nice! Which one? I'm considering picking up some striped ones myself.

Because my only striped one, an old Gant Shirt, is already well loved, I was going for the Purple Bengal Stripe!

And probably this one is a great addition to my recently eBay Hermès Ties

I ordered a jumper and a shirt. I got a separate shipping notice for each of them even though both notices showed the total amount.

So far, only my cashmere hat has shipped. Really hoping they don't cancel the other two items, since then, I'd be paying $21 shipping for the one item :/

 

[cristofromkensington]

I’ve had nothing shipped yet, though I’m in the U.K.

Thanks! I just got the notification for the games jacket separately as well. And both emails had the full invoice amount.

Now I'm just waiting for the d-43 jacket to ship (it does look quite something from the pictures)

i ordered the navy bedford cord a-1 jacket in 38R. If the sizing doesn't work, I'll put it up here at cost.

Shipping confirmed about 12 hours after ordering.
