The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[Blake Stitched Blues]

They certainly look the same but the Drakes at least come in half sizes. They do list theirs as having leather insoles whereas the Astorflex have a memory foam insole. Might account for some of the price difference if they're made by Astorflex but to a higher build quality and better materials than normal?

 

[Wowee Zowee]

Thanks gents. Saved me paying a pretty ridiculous markup.

60% off ties, including Drakes, at Harry Rosen for the Canucks. Grabbed a couple for $75 each.

 

[Gerry Nelson]

Yes, they are Astorflex rebranded

Which Astroflex colour corresponds to the Drake's brown boot? Dark chestnut or dark khaki?

It looks like 'Dark Khaki' for the Brown Suede and 'Stone' for the Sand Suede.

Dark Khaki I reckon. Most comfortable shoes I've ever tried. It was painful to have to return them but alas, no half-sizes.

I ordered a pair last night. Looking forward to getting them!

It's interesting. The uppers look like dark khaki but the soles are like the dark chestnut boots.

Very similar to the Drakes sand ones albeit with a darker hue...

Another interesting thing to note about a popular Drake's item. For those of you who like the rugby shirts; those are made by Columbiaknit in Portland, OR (my hometown). You can buy them direct, and the prices range from about $30-70ish:

£195 for a $29.50 rugby shirt. Nice work if you can get it!

But it has a Drake's tag, which equals 50% more mystique.

That is an extraordinary mark-up. I looked at the Burgundy & Navy one...this is effectively the same shirt with a new tag! I knew Drake's was expensive...but wow...Thanks for passing this info along to the forum.
