The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

Morning everyone!

Finally secured one of my all time Drake's grails:

Sadly is too warm to wear here in Spain, it will have to wait

But it's a beautiful piece, nice roomy fit with a nice drape and length (comes down past my knees), lots of pockets (3 inside pockets, 2 big flap pockets on the outside and a ticket pocket), very nice checkered lining, comes with a hood, a belt... made in Italy as well.

I'm sure there are lots of Macs, trench coats out there, but this is peak Drake's, take a classic garment and just nail all the details to have a piece that will pass the test of time.

Is there a story behind how you managed to find it? That’s not a piece I’d ever seen before you mentioned you were looking for it

hah, I suppose that's how I find the majority of my pieces too, so it makes sense

Do they still offer MTO ties? Also on the page for MTO tailoring it says fully canvassed instead of half canvassed RTW?

This is an olive cotton from several years ago, not sure exactly which season.

Perfect fit!

Your games trousers seem to have a higher rise than the ones they offer now.

Hm, could be — these trousers are also basically sized up one for me, but between the side adjusters and belt loops it's no big deal.

Are you wearing this casually or to work or what? I've got two from a few years ago and I've only managed to wear one of them once to a more casual wedding

Hm, I feel like the games suits are very casual and easy to wear, but I live in NYC. No particular event today, although I did wear something similar to a concert recently.
