The Official Drakes knock-off thread - look-alikes and the producers behind Drakes

[Rockefoten]

I really want this shirt, but its sold out in my size (16/41). I love the vibrancy of the colours. Any ideas for other brands that do checks and colours this well?

Who is making Drake's shetland wool sweaters?

 

[garbiel]

Harley of Scotland makes house-brand shetlands, fair isles, etc for a ton of boutiques

the one pictured above looks like a Jamieson's

I have both Jamieson's and Drake's cable knit shetland sweaters - and to me they appear identical.

However, my couple of plain Drake's sweaters appear as if they could be Harley of Scotland.

@sussi I don't think you would like Harley, they run kind of long (their stock pattern, at least, they make shorter ones for some boutiques).
Jamieson's runs a bit shorter, in my opinion.

I guess they’ve ordered shetlands from different factories over the years. Drake’s fit has changed and evolved as well..

current Drake's fit is very close to Jamieson's. Yes I figured out Harley of Scotland is longer than average knitted sweater. I might try all of them at some point to see the difference. All are longer than I would prefer so will have to tuck them in anyway.

Try Harley womens fit.

FWIW my experience is completely the opposite. I have lots of Harley sweaters and one Jamiesons. The Jamiesons is longer than every Harley by a few CMs.

I sort of want the suede tote bag that is made in Italy. No interest in paying $750 USD though. Does anyone recognize the maker? Or any better value alternatives?

I checked the bag today on Saville row shop. Definetely no worth it. There was very little structure and seams were only single stitched. I would prefer a bit more structure and for example a fell seam on certain spots.
