    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    Relatedly, if anyone could proxy a size 34 navy cotton linen games trousers to me in dc please message me! I was just browsing their website and the cotton linen games stuff is down so I assume it’ll be at this sale.

    Almost all Drake’s, mostly eBay. Games suits seem to work really well as separates. Apologies for the smudged mirror!

    The Official Alden Thread for 2024 - Share Reviews, Sizing, Advice, and Photos.

    Hi all, I picked up a pair of black calfskin loafers on the Copley last in size 8.5D. They fit and look great but of course instead of placating my loafer itch now I want a pair of the LHS in color 8 cordovan. I'm not quite on the budget to get them new anytime soon so I'm hoping to go the...

    This is great! Will likely try this out in a few weeks and will report on how it goes. Also, I did receive the shirt just fine - glad nothing was wrong.

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    Thanks so much for the advice! I don't recall when I last wore a bow tie, so I'll definitely practice. Regarding sizing, I know for regular ties that the lapel and tie width should roughly match. Is there a general guide like that for bow ties? Or another way to tell if it's too large or too small?

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    Hi all, I was able to find a vintage tuxedo in excellent condition and it's currently at the tailor. It's a black barathea fabric made of (I assume) wool/mohair and is traditionally styled - shawl lapel, jetted pockets, one button, no vents, no belt loops on the trousers, etc. I now need to...

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    How I'm voting: prices are too high, the new look book is good, and the ellipse on the Charles loafer is good (I think it's a softer look than than the traditional hole, which adds to the relaxed vibe of Drake's). Could you add any more information about this service? I'd seriously consider...

    FWIW I'm a size 16 in the OCBDs, which is looser in the body and has a little long arms for me, but fits my neck comfortably. I'm a size medium in the linen shirts.

    I would be stoked for a linen overshirt. I recall someone saying they do them MTO now but I imagine that's pretty expensive.

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    Also, my experience with this season's archive sale was kind of lukewarm. I ordered a chambray shirt, primary stripe rugby, and seersucker shorts. The shirt is great but the rugby was way off their size chart and the seersucker shorts had both pleats facing left. Bummer to have QC issues but at...

    I have the Lovat green cotton suit (which is very good) and the trousers sit right at/barely below my belly button. Same for the games flannel trousers I have. So if that's high or mid-rise to you is I guess up to you.
