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

Does anyone know who/how they make the suede chore coat? I'm interested in getting one and loved the weight but $2K is a lot for a jacket so wondering if there's something similar.

Any ideas where to find long-sleeve button down polo shirts? Is there even a particular name for this style? Only know it from Berg & Berg, which is slim cut and expensive. It is such a basic thing that there must be other sources?

G. Inglese, Ikiji, Barena, the old Eidos I think etc all make things like that.

Edit: lots of options on Yoox as well from all sorts of Italian companies in different materials.

Yes the G. Inglese polos stocked at No Man Walks Alone are outstanding. Not cheap but they are amazing and are very durable or long-lasting. I'm really pleased with mine.

I really like the button-down polos from Ascot Chang sold at The Armoury. Not cheap though, $275 for the long sleeves.

Doppiaa makes some too. Yoox is your best bet to try out brands on the cheap.

I have one by Drake’s, from I believe 2 seasons ago. It’s a thicker fabric with a somewhat 70s style collar. Imho worth its price. Not sure if they have one on offer right now.

No, I mean actual long-sleeve polo shirts with button down Oxford style collars. I have one by Lund & Lund, but they seem to have stopped producing this style. I was thinking that, this being as basic as it is, even one of the bigger fast fashion chains must have a comparable style...

Naked Clothing Italy makes some. Pretty sure that G. Inglese has as well.

Any experiences with the Kamakura Unconstructed Ivy Blazers? For example: https://kamakurashirts.com/collections/coats/products/znap14 They look a lot like the Games Blazer. Also nice that they have a few different fabrics.

This tweed blazer feels like it should be gettable for quite a bit less than £1,200. Who else uses this Harris tweed for jackets like this nowadays?

I'd also be interested in finding out who else does similar soft-shouldered tweed blazers like these.

Natalino makes soft-shouldered jackets like this for less.

Matching the attention to detail given to Drake's fabric choices will be harder to find, however. These new Drake's jackets are notable for their considerably lower gorge, which is something to consider, especially for shorter guys.

Hey there!

Sorry to bother if this was asked before, but I generally suck at Internet forums.

I've come across a few sellers on Vinted from Italy who sell a large number of squares and bandanas from Drake's for around €20 to €30. They seem to be in mint condition. But that's just the thing, why sell them that cheap given the retail price?

Are there a lot of counterfeits going around or do these guys just smuggle them out of some Italian factory? 😅

Either way, why not ask for more?

Thanks în advance for your help.
