The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[stonyrivers]

Can anyone comment on how accurate the site measurements for games trousers are? I'm wanting to pick up a suit but the inseams listed seem very short, 29.9 inch on a size 30? Do they run very short or are they measuring them in a weird way?

Also I think this looks cool

Big Yank '1935' Blue Chambray Shirt

Big Yank was originally launched in Chicago in 1919, and is responsible for some of the innovative design details we see today in workwear. Now painstakingly made in Japan by 35 Summers, the 1935 work shirt is cut from a sturdy cotton chambray with triple-needle stitching, storm cuffs and back...

Is drake's cheaper to buy in England vs the US? I'm headed to London in a few weeks for work.

Much cheaper. I ran the math on this for shirts if you search back in the forum. Drake’s has fair or least fair-er prices in UK. The staff at the Mayfair store are great too.

I am heading to Korea soon, is Drakes resonably priced in Korea or would it be more expensive than the US? I know the UK is the most reasonable out of the stores

I visited the Korean store in April but unfortunately didn’t compare prices. I’m based in the Nordics so normally try to buy when visiting London. It’s a smaller store compared to London and New York with a more limited selection (but also less busy).

Would switching your location to SK on the website will give you an indication of local prices?

But would still say the Dosan store is worth a visit and there are many other great stores on that street (Unipair and Random Walk are worth a visit for sure).

Enjoy Korea!

slightly off topic, but need to get this off my chest. I've been with the forum a while, and sometimes get really frustrated with it... but it is thoughtful, helpful posts like this that keep me here.....
