The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

Any rain raglan coats available? 😄

How much were the chalkstripe chores, do you happen to recall? Were there any in 42, or were they mostly larger than that?

I didn't take a photo of the price list, and they didn't have a price line for the chores, but rather a generic one for casual outerwear. I think this was about £250? The Games blazers were about £300 and sartorial blazers were £400+.

I saw some brown tweed/wool raglans but not waterproofs.

Any summer weight suits? Games or sartorial

I saw what I think is this blazer (as well as matching trousers), but not much else -- a whole lot of corduroy and heavier twills.

Beige Chino / cotton, think they were sartorial.

Would be willing to pay for a proxy if size 40/34 is available in seersucker!

If anyone sees either the russet or brown corduroy games blazers in a 42, or matching trousers in 38, I'd pay a proxy

Arrived 8:15 and was in at 9, decent selection but not as good as previous sample sale in Truman Brewery. Purchased a few pieces that are sadly the wrong size for my partner. Will get around to putting them on the Buy/Sell

Nice to see you've already listed them on vinted for retail 😂

Same here for OCBD 15.75 in not too fancy (😀) colours and 42 game blazers!

Is this shop authentic? The prices are so low.

Fake shop - there are a few of them that have popped up like that.

It seems to me that these samples sale are way more interesting than the online Archive sale… Am I right or am I overestimating these sample sales that I cannot attend (as I live in Switzerland)?

Went to the sample sale this morning, was absolute bedlam. Are they always like that? Never seen a larger concentration of guys in wax jackets in my life.

Did you pick up anything, or escape with your life?

Did the three shirts for £250 deal and then got out of there pronto. Rather a stressful experience all in all. No idea how anyone could've managed any proxy buying in there!
