the Drake's archive sale is like a time machine where you can buy Drake's clothes for what they cost 5 years ago

"Drake's - they make great clothes, everyone knows it. But they were a lot cheaper when I was President, let me tell you. You would see guys on their way to work - normal guy, good guys - and they'd be wearing balmacaans, shetland sweaters, yuge scaves - because the economy was doing great. Under sleepy Joe, you can work seven days a week and can't even afford a beanie."

Bummer there’s no leftover St. John’s cords.

If it's the "vintage blue" one that's seemingly the only one available at the sale, you chose wisely. I have the same one and it's definitely my favorite Drake's shirt currently.

Seems like a nice chance to get the shawl collar cardigan.
Can some one tell on the fit? I'm 5"11 and 176 lbs. Chest is around 42". I just lost 30 lbs, and my last sweater (46) from Drake's feels too large to assist on size comparison now. Thanks!

I wear a 40 jacket and a medium in most companies/shirts. I take a 40 in the drakes shawl cardigan, but it’s pretty slim. I think the slouchy fit people are often after would be one size up. So it depends on what you’re after, I suppose. I like TTS but I could also see one up.

These archive prices are nothing to get excited about. Mild discounts from retail price. Some of the Christmas sales from other Drake’s retailers were better for the same items.

Good selection of ties, if you are in the market.

Yes, if those retailers sold what you wanted. For me, they did not.

Good selection of sweaters this time, but not much in the way of bigger items. Still better than retail cost, especially in the US.

But yes, drakes is expensive and it’s unreasonable. I agree.

Keep in mind the 6-ply version with the garter knitted placket and collar (which for my money is the nicer version because of how dense and soft it is) is also cut unusually short. Worth sizing up one just to get the additional length, IMO.
