The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[billscoresby]

Lookbook looks great but what's the point of having pockets back there(serious question but not)?

One of those Drake's idiosyncrasies - like the elliptical loafer slot - that looks goofy at first but grows on me the more I look at it.

As can be seen on the Instagram story of Andreas Feet the Drake's MTM Suiting is made in Rome! (Dunno which factory it is tho)
Maybe someone is interested in this information!

Suspect people like the pocket because, to those observers in the know, it marks it out as a drake’s jacket

these days it's De Petrillo I believe, but they've changed factories over the years

Olive chore actually was offered a couple of years ago. Got one . I’d highly recommend grabbing the welder jacket when it comes up, the olive color in suede is fantastic and pairs great with everything.

I think the welder jacket is an under appreciated item. The rivets obviously emphasize the “workwear” of the coat, so make it harder to dress-up, but think it’s lovely and the additional pockets are great

Yeah the olive chore from some years back was really good

Thanks I had forgotten about this coat! I have that image buried away in an inspiration folder somewhere. I created an eBay search alert on the slim chance one pops up 🤞

Received the olive fatigue jacket from the archive the other week. Will get loads of wear when spring arrives.

Is there by any chance a way to buy RM Williams at that price in the US now? Aussie price or just lower than the US price?

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.

Yep. I ordered mine last Thursday- still no shipping notification. I find them pretty slow dispatch anyway but this is longgggg…

Check the order page. My order was dispatched and I never received an email notification.

6-10 business days, until dispatch. so that's probably 2.5-3wks for delivery i'd say. i don't know of a slower deliverer!

How do you even check the order page? Archive orders don't show up on my regular account page and we're locked out of the archive site now

 

[tc123]

Check the order confirmation email from Drakes Archive, it will have a link to "View Order Status".

Fit check.

This is the Navy Cotton Drill tailored jacket sz 38. I went with my Games size, and despite the tighter measurements of the tailored jacket the fit "feels" better than the Games.

Generally, if it feels right it fits, but a second opinion would be appreciated.
