CHAMONIX as posted earlier.

Password is CHAMONIX. Sale pretty much as expected, not great not terrible. Would love the tweed chore coat, but my size is not in stock. Been considering the Chelsea boots (Hitchcock). Anyone have any experience with sizing and know who the maker is?

This mockneck Shetland gets too little wear, but love it every time I put it on. Such a great shade of pink.

Are Drake's shoes any good? Thinking of picking up the Suede Chelsea Boots.

Picked myself up a pair of Clifford in the Khaki roughout. Was surprised at the price, and even more they were available in a large size. Was tempted by the 36oz madder, but I just won't get the wear out of it

I'm genuinely suprised by the range and the prices of the Archive Sale. Especially seeing so many Raglan Coats was unexpected by me!

 

[panegyrical]

Out of interest, is that the natural length of the rugby top or have you tucked it in? Great fit!

The Hitchcock (Chelsea Boots) are at a crazy markdown. Anyone with feedback on how the run size-wise? Thanks.

Based in the US and got the same message. At first I thought it was only items valued up to $800 as that is the duty-free threshold for imports into the US. But then I realized it's also items far below $800. So either a glitch or because of location of stock. Anyway, scored some shirts.

Archive sale is up, at least early access.

Strangely some things (bal coats, a couple odd jackets) start to load and then I get a flag: "This product cannot be shipped to your country" - which is the US.

Eep. Pre-tariff tariff? Classic archive sale website quirk?

Mr. President, tariff Canada and Mexico all you want but do NOT **** up the Drake’s Archive Sale.

I found this old Drake's oxford shirt style that I quite like the look of. Does anyone know if Drake's will bring it out again, or something similar, for the S/S season?

Thank you! I snagged the dark grey raglan, a coat I've been waiting on for a long time.

Button from the inside pocket on my Coverall Jacket just popped off

Drake’s customer service response didn’t help much.

Is this easily fixable?

Tucked in. Natural length might be a few inches longer.

I think someone in the thread said earlier that they have done this with the sleeve buttons on the suede chore jacket.

Here, I assume you can attach the button to a piece of cloth and sew that cloth onto the lining?

Did they offer you any replacement pieces? I’m not sure whether you can reinstall a used snap button, but I can tel you that installing such a button is easy, with many tailors having the necessary tool(s).
