The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[astrobuoy]

Just received my archive sale order. The flat front chino is 3cm longer than it should be according to size chart. I’m not in the UK but I’m nevertheless expecting a full refund on this one….

3cm longer where?

 

[Ibiscus]

3cm longer where?

Inseam

Inseam

A bit petty, no? Just have it hemmed.

I wasn't going to say it but I have to agree. 3cm is barely more than an inch. at least personally I always expect that I'll have to have my pants hemmed after purchasing them, and factor that into the cost. it's rare that RTW pants will exactly match your inseam.

alternatively you can just cuff the pants. I have the flat fronts too and they look good rolled up one cuff

He didn’t want them in the first place. The price was just too good to pass up. Buyer’s remorse

Have no idea which of you are now taking the piss and which of you genuinely think having a marketing budget is bad or a return over inseam length is reasonable

Yeah, inseam length is by far the most easily correctable measurement. When I'm looking at trousers the inseam is almost a superfluous detail. A couple of bucks and a weeks wait, and you're golden. It's more than worth the money you saved. If it was a top block measurement I would understand.

I love when a person uses "taking the piss" in a casual discussion. It's the gold standard of British colloquialisms. A mantle it shares with "proper fuckabout" and "Ello, guv'na!".

God bless you, sir.

I've had about 20 hems done so far, but never with Drake's pants. They're exactly the right length for me and that's what I've been waiting for,
hence my frustration (
maybe I'm just overreacting 😅)

You are absolutely overreacting.

 

[Ibiscus]

You are absolutely overreacting.

I think you’re right

Picked up some items from the archive sale last week.

So I guess they’re not lying when they say to wait 7-10 days for shipment. I thought they say it cover their butt, didn’t think it would actually take that long.

Still no movement on my order. Is this normal? I’ve not ordered from Drakes before.

I contacted them today as I'm in the same boat. They said they've got a mass of orders to get through so it will take them time, likely the 10 business days they mentioned.

Weird tho as I heard someone else ordered something on Friday (like me) and theirs came yesterday. Go figure

Good to know! Thanks.

Was getting worried my order may have been lost in the system. I’ll shall be patient then.
