The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[single origin]

Super helpful! I meant both have similar measurements. I'm mainly comparing B&B Arthur with Natalino and measurements for rise, thigh, waist are almost identical. Natalino has slightly slimmer leg opening though. I ended up placing an order for B&B arthur since Natalino was OOS in my size.

A few thoughts: Who is going to be the first to post a fit pic of the Drake's boxers?

Second, does anyone have information about a possible archive sale? I think in previous years the summer one has been around this time.

Third, has anyone given a comparison between Drake's and the Armoury's similar products? It looks like the Armoury has introduced OCBD's for $175 and has some tailoring similar to Drake's core line at lower prices. Given the oft-discussed high Drake's pricing and the quality of the Armoury products, does anyone have any thoughts about the value proposition of comparable Drake's products?

Finally, it looks like Drake's has re-introduced bundle pricing for some things. Anyone have an idea of if they're going to expand that to other categories? I can't imagine Michael Hill is reading this, but just figured I'd post nonetheless.

I would, but given the recent v neck/crew neck debate, I don’t need the side I dress myself to brought into judgement.

Obviously “to the left” is the only correct answer.

That’s the classical style correct?

I mean, obviously, if you’ve been on StyFo for any time. 😜

J Crew's Crosby suit in English wool seems like a deliberate effort to produce Drake's tailoring-inspired suiting and is now on sale for $300-ish (jacket + pants)

Looking like a regular patch pocket suit…maybe if they came out with a games suit that would be cool

Looks like they've given something like that a shot, too

Natalino is OOS for washed options, but the cut looks very similar to Berg and Berg. I have a pair from Anglo Italian that I like, just wish that the rise was a little higher.

I agree. Anglo Italian rise is mid at best. It’s not even 11 inches on a size 30.

I wish J. Crew was leaning into Drake's back in 2014... I would look a lot better in those old photos!

Anyone have some ecru jeans in 33 and want to size up to a 34?

Hiya everyone!

Had a couple of questions about Drake's you guys could probably help answer:

Are Drake's shetlands made by Harley? They seem to have the same wash tag, which I also noticed other brands that offer shetlands have; is this a telltale sign a shetland was made by Harley?

Also, when does Drake's winter collection come out? When can we see new shetlands, knitwear, etc come in?

Cheers!

I think multiple brands use the same Shetland by the same supplier, but are cut differently?

My info is that they are made by Harley.
