The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

I wash all my fleeces on a delicate program, at 30 degrees. Never had a problem.

Thanks! Yes did it that way last Monday and it came out fine.

after washing your garment, does the stain wash off or still a slight stain?



Glad to hear! seems like the dark brown is more versatile compared to the rust version?

To chime in uninvited - I have the rust version and the marks on white jeans wash off. Few drawbacks of the one I have - with the sleeves being unlined it's tricky to slip on and the cuff button broke on mine...

I thought the Rust colour was a bit more unusual, and wanted something that would stand out a bit. It seems to be a favourite of their lookbook and editorial content.

I've mentioned this before way back in this thread, but it's wild to me that they insist on unlined sleeves for these jackets. I used to own one and had my tailor line the sleeves, which was a huge practical improvement.

is the rule of thumb to get your TTS or size up?

I adore my blanket lined suede chore coat (although it’s a bit of an odd piece because sometimes it’s a bit too warm for the weather you’d typically wear a suede jacket in). The lined sleeves are key. Fits true to size. I haven’t noticed any colour transfer, personally; rather, the interior hem is stained from my jeans. The rust jacket (unlined) is iconic, imo, and I find it very versatile. I also asked Drake’s for replacement buttons (including metal cuff snaps) and they sent me some. All in all, would recommend.

Question for everyone: What’s the Drake’s piece you get the most compliments on? I think it would be cool to share our responses with pics. For me, it’s the camp liner jacket (in blue). Very underrated, imo.

PSA: I asked a staff member in NYC what happened to the casentino fleeces and was told that the cloth manufacturer is having landlord issues, so no idea if/when those fleeces may come back…

A few people in the street or at a shop complimented me on my orange casentino chore.

Mine is my Drakes x Ald moleskin chore. My favorite piece by far.

These jackets are kinda uncommon in a very Drake’s way, i guess that’s the reason they stand out.
Also the scarves.
