The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[wahnamhong]

Anybody here with first hand experience of this season’s chambray or denim shirts? A lot of them have already sold out, but not the blue chambray work shirt. Is it any good?

Blue Cotton Chambray Two-Pocket Work Shirt

The rugged work shirt, cut from a rugged chambray cotton, offers utility and urbanity in equal measure. As at home pottering in the garden as paddling in the surf, the work shirt is anything but a chore to wear. Featuring two pleated, button-flap pockets for unburdened trousers, rounded cuffs...

Also, haven’t seen the St John pinstripe granddad collar shirt online at all. All sold out. Were they only available in store, or were they just extremely popular online?

I find it versatile and use it quite a bit (have it under the coverall recently shared). The fabric is nice, drapes well and I like the fit.

If you mean the red pinstripe, two-pocket granddad collar shirt, it was available online, though they sold out fairly quick. I picked one up, it's great! The cotton fabric is scratchier, more wrinkly and stiffer than I expected though, a lot like their 100% linen shirts, but I'm hoping it will soften up over time.

It's worth watching out for returns, though! I noticed the potter's vest was briefly available in my size again a few days ago but someone else snapped it up before I could make up my mind whether I wanted it. I'm sure that was a return.

Yes, was able to order a St. John’s fatigue after it was sold out two days earlier.

Does anyone have a beat on alternatives to the Drake's ecru needlecord pants? I'd love a pair for the cooler months, but $450 seems rather insane for corduroy.

I LOVE my Wythe off-white bedford cords. Unfortunately I don't see many slant pocket pants like the Drake's, but the color of the Wythe are great, a kind of muted chalk that is not bright at all and pairs well with a ton of stuff in my experience

Off White Bedford Cord Five Pocket Pants

Expertly woven in Japan and produced right here in America, these are fantastic reproductions of the bedford cord pants made for ranchers and cattlemen in the 1940s and 50s. Bedford cord was used as a workwear fabric because it was heard-wearing but lightweight. Similar to a denim, it stretched...

It does look great. I would really prefer my emerald green coverall to be this long... i guess it's just a couple of inches longer? makes all the difference.

Is the present coverall version the emerald green or is it *regular* green (like a Barbour)? I'm a bit confused and from the photos and Drake's homepage it's hard to tell.

Current in-store piece is emerald green. And a smidgeon too short.

Fullcount 1103 is a great fit. I could imagine you could find the best deal straight from Japan though.

Fullcount 1103 Clean Straight Pique Ecru

Pique pants in the new 1103 standard silhouette. Pique exploded in popularity in the U.S. in the 1960s, starting first with the well-known east coast Ivy Leaguers. We've faithfully reproduced the 60s material and treated it with some ozone love to lend these pants a bit of rugged impact. 100%...

Are the coverall measurements on the site accurate?

Sleeves seem rather short, and I say this as someone shorter who prefers shorter sleeves.

I'm looking at a 34, if anyone has anyone has one and can comment.
