The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[Mood Indigo]

Does drakes selvedge denim shrink after wash? I just got a pair of selvedge in stonewash and wondering if they will go down in size.

I just bought one and it didn't change in the wash. On the other hand, it relaxes quickly with the first wears, it is better to be a little tight at the start.

Thats what i was a afraid of. I feel like I should have sized down one, but now i've already hemmed and worn them. oh well!

Not in my experience (washed them at 40°C).

Recently in London so I visited the store and walked out with this Fair Isle vest. It was hard not to overspend and buy many more items. I think their current stock is exceptional. Nobody does patterns and color better, well maybe Ralph Lauren at his best.

Have any of you tried this jacket? Can it be worn over a blazer or a chore?

This is a chore coat, it just had a different pocket style. I saw it at the Canal st store and believe it was the same length as the standard chores

Thanks you for your response. I thought it was more of an outerwear.

You know what, I'm completely wrong. When this was originally released I had thought it was a chore coat, and it was also on the rack next to this other brown wool chore that I wrote about seeing a few weeks back (and which was now just released). I suppose the corduroy piece is meant as outerwear, but interestingly the measurements are slightly shorter and slimmer than the equivalently sized chore

Ah I think I see why I made the error. The editorial note makes it sound like it's a chore. I really don't know. The flapped pockets do make me think that it's an outdoor jacket, but I feel like it might be short to layer either a chore or tailoring (especially this season's tailoring which runs extraordinarily long)

I snagged this screenshot of the corduroy jacket from Drake’s Instagram not long ago since it wasn’t featured in the look book. I was contemplating this jacket, but already have a tan chore coat and the corduroy puffer vest so it wasn’t distinct enough for me to pull the trigger. From the photo it seems to wear like a chore, but you could probably get a chore jacket underneath it if you play with sizing a bit…

Merino Wool Knitted Rugby Shirts: do they actually "Runs large, sizing down is advised"? For instance, at equivalent size, larger than a cotton rugby shirt?

About the same tagged size as a cotton rugby from ColumbiaKnit. 15.5 / 34 for reference and take a medium in both. Drake's a slimmer fit than a typical rugby.
