The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[wahnamhong]

Went to see the reversible tweed Raglan in store today. Will have to debate it for a while given the price point but have to say it’s an absolutely beautiful piece, very tempted by it!

Took delivery of the reversible raglan today. Yes, it’s a beautiful coat - the same beautiful beige cotton material as my coat from two years ago.

But I have decided to return it, as I like my current reversible (double breasted) coat better (even though it is one size too small). The colour of the collar of the new one is lighter than what is seen in the lookbook, where it looks dark brown. But it is more of a mid brown in reality. See pic. Also, the new one doesn’t have metal fasteners at the back. For that price, I have to be critical and the coat should be perfect…

I just nabbed the size 44, though it feels like the site is straining under the load of folks picking the place clean. There's still a size 42 left though at the moment

What were they selling for?

$319 😬

Nothing was left when I checked. I didn't really understand the size chart though

It's a piece I've been after since release but never imagined I'd actually be able to cop. The guy they used for some of the product photos (@studied.carelessness on IG) I thought wore it really well

I grabbed the 42. Lmk if ur 44 ends up too small for you. Little worried the 42 will be too small for me

That's what I tried to nab, but figured I'd have been better off with a 40 anyway. The sleeve measurement threw me for a loop, seemed really short

Nice! Will do, I figure it must be similar to their chore sizing perhaps. @C_kimlin920 has one for sale in suede roughout in a 46 that I think would be slightly oversized on me according to his measurements, so I'm hoping the 44 is spot on, but we'll see!

Ill let you know if it runs smol

Sounds like a plan, thanks

Oh man, unfortunate, though makes sense. How did the sizing on this one work for you?

Thanks. I did not even try it on, as I didn’t want the hassle trying to fit it back in the package neatly. Oh well, waiting for the balmacaans to come out now.

Does anyone know what the best place is to shop for Drake's pocket squares? The offering on their official website is quite limited, and some stores (e.g., the Decorum) have Drake's pocket square designs that other stores (e.g., the Armoury) do not have

The sizing is definitely on the large side! I’m a 38 and they recommended a 36 for me and it fit well.

They run large for sure

This seems to be in stock? Unless they restocked it. I noticed that the khaki Games suit has additional sizes listed as well
