    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    Thanks for correcting me!

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    I’m not sure this is a Drake’s jacket, at least an off the peg one. It’s got a patch pocket on the breast and appears to be missing the ‘trademark’ ticket pocket on the right hand side. Compare and contrast with the jacket that Wim posted above.

    Agreed, I’m 32 in all Drake’s trousers except games trousers in which I’m 34.

    Thanks to everyone on the last page whose fleecechat has caused me impulsively to shell out on the long sleeve buffalo check fleece.

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    I’ve had the ecru heavy gauge roll neck on my watchlist for a while. It vanished from the main website a week or so ago which made me think it had sold out and so I wrote it off. Happily it has turned up in the Archive Sale and in my size, so I’ve picked it up.

    OFFICIAL Simon Crompton thread (PermanentStyle.com)

    As an Englishman I agree. If someone used the term oriental today it would be jarring and mildly offensive. As you say, not as much as other racial slurs, but still not commonly-acceptable or neutral language.

    I’ve visited Doherty Evans & Stott a few times. Nice shop, stock, and owners. Worth a visit.

    There was a teddy coat listed for sale on eBay UK earlier today.

    I’m a big Drake’s fanboy but love my Bedale and wouldn’t change it — it’s a classic design.

    The Unofficial Drakes Buy, Sell, or Trade Thread

    I think they are made by ascot.de from whom I’ve bought directly and am happy with the service and product.

    They did lower prices in one about 18 months ago, I recall — but none since then.

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    I have various Drake’s shirts in Oxford cloth, flannel, needlecord, linen and madras — all size 15.5 — and they don’t all fit the same. The differences are seemingly random. It might be they were from different seasons.

    I have the traveler jacket. I don’t wear it very much. I think that’s in part because it’s a size too big for me, but also it just doesn’t seem to work with jeans or chinos (it seems too formal to pair with them).

    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    How does one maintain the greasy kip leather boots? Mine have developed some lighter patches on the toes after cleaning off dirt with a damp cloth.

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    I have a pair of dark brown suede Harvard loafers and wear the hell out of them with anything short of a suit (and only because I’m English and only wear black leather shoes with suits).
