Does drakes selvedge denim shrink after wash? I just got a pair of selvedge in stonewash and wondering if they will go down in size.

I just bought one and it didn't change in the wash. On the other hand, it relaxes quickly with the first wears, it is better to be a little tight at the start.

Recently in London so I visited the store and walked out with this Fair Isle vest. It was hard not to overspend and buy many more items. I think their current stock is exceptional. Nobody does patterns and color better, well maybe Ralph Lauren at his best.

Thanks you for your response. I thought it was more of an outerwear.
You know what, I'm completely wrong. When this was originally released I had thought it was a chore coat, and it was also on the rack next to this other brown wool chore that I wrote about seeing a few weeks back (and which was now just released). I suppose the corduroy piece is meant as outerwear, but interestingly the measurements are slightly shorter and slimmer than the equivalently sized chore

Ah I think I see why I made the error. The editorial note makes it sound like it's a chore. I really don't know. The flapped pockets do make me think that it's an outdoor jacket, but I feel like it might be short to layer either a chore or tailoring (especially this season's tailoring which runs extraordinarily long)

I snagged this screenshot of the corduroy jacket from Drake’s Instagram not long ago since it wasn’t featured in the look book. I was contemplating this jacket, but already have a tan chore coat and the corduroy puffer vest so it wasn’t distinct enough for me to pull the trigger. From the photo it seems to wear like a chore, but you could probably get a chore jacket underneath it if you play with sizing a bit…

Merino Wool Knitted Rugby Shirts: do they actually "Runs large, sizing down is advised"? For instance, at equivalent size, larger than a cotton rugby shirt?

About the same tagged size as a cotton rugby from ColumbiaKnit. 15.5 / 34 for reference and take a medium in both. Drake's a slimmer fit than a typical rugby.

Is this the games?


Or the regular field jacket?
