The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

Tried on the 14.2 oz bleach wash yesterday. Not as high rise as I thought they would be. What do we think? View attachment 2068861

Overall drape/fit looks good but you're right, the rise looks more like a mid rise(which is disappointing). it Could be the angle too

Agree on fit and rise. From that shot it seems your proportions might benefit from a higher rise.

Archive Sale planned for NYC - nothing online, it seems.

Anyone recall if the last NYC archive sale had suits?

If so, any long sizes?

Hey, what kind of loafers are these? They look nice and roomy in the toebox...

I recall they had a couple racks of suits and sportcoats, and think some were long sizes (but not that many). Mostly shirts and ties/accessories

Sebago Dan Loafers 👌

Kaptain Sunshine Traveler Coat is a good option aswell, cultizm has a 30% off right now worth to take a look.

Anybody here owns the Wader Jacket? How is it?

I have it! Underrated and the best waxed jacket in the lineup IMHO. So many nice details.

Gents, where can I get my hands on some wool/silk squares? Can be animal, flower prints, etc.
thanks

Can anyone comment on the sizing/fit of the Teddy Polo Coat? Have been looking for a used one, but unsure if it's TTS or not (measurements with all the volume fell hard to trust).

Also, does Drakes come out with a teddy polobevery year?

I have the regular polo coat (not the teddy version) and it definitely fits small, I had to go for a 42 instead of my usual 40. You can search my posts in the thread for more details.

Oooh that looks nice! I'm looking at potentially getting a Barbour Beaufort jacket but that looks nice! What's the waxed cotton like? And what are the details that you really like?

I'm not a fan of those. I don't like the slanted pockets either. They look a bit old man'ish. Not that looking like an old man is necessarily a bad thing! I am a fan of the Bryceland's chore you have there though! I have one of those. It's not a patch on the Drake's chores, and I had a really poor experience buying from them, but it's still a cool jacket!

How is the sizing? TTS? Also how cropped it is?

Why, Drake's of course! Although the selection online isn't great. Instore is very different though. Failing that, Anderson & Sheppard do some lovely pocket squares. Their cashmere ones are great - amazing texture to them.

Oh I think the wader is the short, cropped one. It looks great but looking at it online, I don't like that the rear pocket isn't hidden. I don't like that at all! That jacket would scratch my car seats really badly for one thing. What a shame. And what a dumb choice to make IMHO! The Barbour Beaufort is MUCH better in this regard.
