What size you after I have pairs in 34 and 36.

34 is fine, thanks!

Thanks so much!

I’m a fan of their trousers. Higher rise like the NMWA higher rise trousers but not too high.

Almost thought i was looking at a J. Crew lookbook for a while there. Not up to their previous standards.

What’s so good about the last F/W workbook they just pull out all the classic combinations, not something they can replicate every season without getting boring

Aside from the ties - which are always fantastic - I am not sure I "buy" what Drakes was going for this season. Maybe it is because I live in the South, and am rather familiar with Charleston?

Further, I find the dreaded price creep to be off putting (i.e., almost $2,000.00 for a seersucker suit with that silly ticket pocket!).

Isn't Mark Cho on the forum? Would be interesting to hear his toughts on this.

I'm really digging the brown linen/twill suit and the beige ramie/cotton suit. Pretty steep for linen and cotton, but they look awesome.

Drakes went frat-bro on us

Further, I find the dreaded price creep to be off putting (i.e., almost $2,000.00 for a seersucker suit with that silly ticket pocket!).

Meanwhile, over at Mr Porter, a Zegna grey seersucker suit via separates is $2910 all in.

Drake’s sample sale in Toronto: Approx £25 for each tie. Picked up these:

I visited the London store last week on honeymoon. Love the looks, love the vibe. Hate the pricing. They won't be getting a single sale here. Prices are totally conflated.
