The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[CasuallyWorked]

I also picked up the wader jacket https://us.drakes.com/products/green-waxed-cotton-wader-jacket-with-blanket-lining in both a size 36 and 38 to try on. Both fit very similar, the 36 was just every so slightly slimmer and shorter.

I enjoy it a lot more than the coverall size 36 I tried, which was just too wide and unflattering. The wader is definitely the sportier version of that jacket, not as wide, but still very comfortable. I am keeping this one!

I picked up my first games blazer mk. VII https://us.drakes.com/products/brown-houndstooth-check-harris-tweed-games-blazer-mk-vii and like you can expect from Drakes it's a beautiful jacket. I really enjoyed the fabric, spongey, with a bit of natural stretch, the chest pocket, internal pockets, and lack of buttons on the sleeves. I tried both a 36 and 38(usual) jacket size and both fit. I liked the 36 more as it had a slimmer fit, but if I wanted to layer the full drake's look such as an oxford and thicker sweater (shetland, vest, fleece) I would need the 38 for the room. I am returning both because the jackets were too long and I am not a fan of the flap pockets. If this blazer was shorter, completely unstructured, and with patch pockets, I would have kept it. I measured the jacket length starting at the bottom of the collar to be 29 7/8 for the size 36 and 30 1/8 for the size 38.

This post is my monthly reminder that it breaks my heart that Drake’s doesn’t have Long sizes

Would appreciate some input on linen shirt sizing, especially if anyone has both the linen and OCBD shirts. I’m a 16.5 in the OCBDs - would that be equivalent to XL in the linen shirts?

FWIW I'm a size 16 in the OCBDs, which is looser in the body and has a little long arms for me, but fits my neck comfortably. I'm a size medium in the linen shirts.

for me I wish they had short sizes :/

 

[Tom (10000 jackets)]

I'm a 15 for the OCBD and a Small for the linen shirts (i usually take a S-M)
The linen shirts are a shorter length

How are we feeling about the transitional capsule that just dropped, folks?

Wish I had the money to grab the stone wash denim western shirt.

It's all quite Fine with a capital F.

I agree, the denim shirts are great. And I'm happy to see a restock in the herringbone games trousers. Is there a chance that these won't match previous seasons in color?

I’ve found the transitional lookbook and drop a bit underwhelming to be honest.

Also, stock seems to be quite low, the herringbone games blazers are almost sold out in some sizes.

I enjoyed the lookbook. I don’t know if this model is just tall or a lot of the new outerwear have cropped length. They look shorter than usual.

And it seems like there will be some fatigue pants in the mix. I’ve been looking for a pair of olive herringbone fatigue pants so I might just try these out.

A little underwhelming. I think the model is taller than average (good eye @htinlinn) and it doesn't work as well with some of the clothes. But nothing stood out to me. I would have liked to see the forestiere jacket worn...

It’s the first time I’ve seen fatigue-chore suiting from them. It looks very cool in the shots, but I’m unsure how it would feel in real life.

Visiting HK in a few weeks and I can't wait to stop by the Drake's popup. Does anyone have any experience with Drake's mto tailoring? i.e. quality and perhaps style? The jackets look a little similar to AI to my untrained eye but would really appreciate any input

Games trouser fit check. Just got these in brown heavy twill. I wish the rear rise was an inch higher. Hate my long torso.

How’s the fit though? I haven’t worn pleated pants before and I’m worried they’re not looking so great.

Perfect fit!!!

You pull off the look so good!
