The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

They stretch quite a lot, from my experience. My pair of 32s became a 36.

Whaaaat??? Same thing with the unwashed version?

anyone getting that herringbone jungle jacket? does it fit the same as the other jungle jackets, I found the sleeves to be too wide/baggy for me.

I bought a ripstop JJ and returned it because I wasn't a fan of the weight of the ripstop.

I picked up the herringbone JJ and can say it's probably my favourite article of clothing I've bought from Drake's. The herringbone is pretty weighty. It's cut generously. And to answer your question, it's the same cut as previous, as far as I can tell.

It's a very interesting take on the JJ and one that is somewhat unlike Drake's. It's pretty fashion-forward; huge pockets, huge flaps, huge elbow pads, and billowing sleeves. I love it, but I can't deny I feel a bit like Gutsman when wearing it.

Interesting! What was off with the ripstop weight?

Artist Chore jacket rocks. Definitely glad I hesitated during the sale because it feels like these run pretty big (saw a post about this in here). Found a size 36 on Marrkt and works pretty well.

Another nice chore jacket, from the current collection, is the burgundy linen. Seen here in real life it’s much nicer than I would have imagined from the stock photos!

Oh, and anybody up for a 800 euro fleece vest?!

Anyone getting a £500 chain-stitched sweatshirt?

Sizing question for the Drakes lambswool shawl collar cardigans, the long running model, not the new one from this season:

Common sizing advice here seems to be go one up from jacket size, ie: I wear a 40, so I would take a 42 in these? Has anyone taken TTS? If so, how do you like the fit? Does the wool relax enough to make a fit difference?

I have had wool sweaters in the past that stretched to a full size up, so I don't wanna make that mistake with one of these. Thanks everyone!

I would definitely size up one. These things run real small, in my opinion. I wear 36 in Drake’s sports coats and went for a 38 which fits like a glove.

Thanks for the quick reply! They stretch at all over time?

I have not found so. I also don’t wear it that close-fitting the way I would most other knitwear but rather in lieu of a jacket. In any case, hand washing the garment will ultimately shrink it back to its original sizing, at least in my experience. But YMMV.

Archive sale coming up for sure! I’ve seen some pieces floating around, like the polo coat at 30% off.

Looks like Nordstrom is having a winter sale.
