I highly recommend the Drake’s balmacaan. The collar sits up just perfect, patch pockets make the look a bit more interesting but the lenght is the king for me. Too many balmacaans are too short. That new brown donegal is a killer fabric!I definitely agree. I've had an Ebay saved search for a balmacaan for a while, but I think the classic versions can be too stark with their plain fronts - it's uninterrupted fabric from the collar down to mid-thigh. To me, Drake's patch pockets break up that starkness in a pleasing way. Not sure if I'm articulating that well! I think No Man Walks Alone stocks something similar? I dunno, but I'd be interested in hearing if there are other makers in the same style of Drake's balmacaans.
Mr. Porter also has a 30% off sale for subscribers going on now. Some Drake's items are included. I actually pulled the trigger on their ecru jeans. At $293.09 I think that's a reasonable price and I'm unlikely to find it cheaper living in the US.
On that note, could we get some other black Friday sales with Drake's items posted here as they come in?
