Between this post and the David Coggins write-up on suits recently, I'm really thinking about jumping in to a casual suit to wear around the office and at home. Business casual be damned haha

Looks great! What size are the blazer and pants and how tall are you, if you do not mind me asking?

Forest Green Linen Spread Collar Shirt

To wear linen is to embrace the season. A colour palette guaranteed to fade gracefully and a gently rumpled texture are the unmistakable calling cards of a great summer shirt. Woven in Como, Italy exclusively for Drake's, this lightweight linen piece features a spread collar and the same the...

Does anyone own one of these linen spread collar shirts? Would be interested to know if the measurements for size medium are accurate or not.

Shoulder 45cm
P2p 53cm
Lenght 77cm

P2P seems really slim 🤔 but oddly this fits me really well. Very similar fit to their 15.5 ocbd

Thanks for that. Quite the discrepancy in P2P! Going to be too slim on me, I'm afraid.

I’ll have to check that p2p measurement again. Now that I think of it it’s an absolute miracle that the shirt doesn’t explode like a supernova on me if that measurement is true 🤔

P2P is 55,5cm. There was some folded fabric on the back side which caused the previous error measurement. Sorry for that

Seconded. Would like to know. Also shrinkage on them?

I bought mine from Mr. Porter’s winter sale, haven’t used it yet so can’t say anything about shrinkage. I’ve got another type of linen shirt from Drake’s which haven’t shrinked at all. Actually none of my Drake’s clothes have shrinked at all.

Seems like The Armoury’s got some new (to this season I think?) linen shirts: https://www.thearmoury.com/search?q=Drakes&page=1

The shirt from this video



looks even nicer. Don’t see it on the site though.

Good to see that Matchesfashion has now added Drake’s. It’s a great shop: excellent customer service and massive discounts at their (frequent) sales.

Got a 2nd fleece from them to value cost average down the one I bought direct from drakes.

So, I’ve just ordered the tweed raglan overcoat, the one with the large panes and green stripe. Took delivery of it yesterday, checked their website again, and it’s now 50 euros more expensive!

Anyone here got this coat and want to share their opinions? I like it so far, it’s just hard to fathom paying so much for a coat. That alone might be reason for me to return it. Although I’m actively trying to find reasons to keep it… I keep telling myself I will look like Gerardo with it! If only!
