Sonofgoldman, just to be fair show you one of mine.

Out for a walk with the family today, not too cold so an old Drakes scarf for company

Yea, I only discovered Drake's fairly recently but they are quickly becoming a favorite for me in terms of scarves, ties and knits.

These are awesome.

Which retailer are they from (i know it has the name on the label - but can't quite make it out on my screen, not sure if it's a problem with my screen or my eyesight!).

Sorry Spoo - ignore me, i'm being a bit slow, i've just realised that's the Luxe Swap logo, lol.

I didn't realise you also sold Drakes ties made specifically for you - is this a recent development?

Think it is a recent development.

No worries -

Very recent, but not for sale, I am sorry.

I found one Fair Isle scarf in lambswool for $80. Is that a good price and should I buy it?

Looks like the Rayner & Sturges shirts are now available under the Cleeve of London brand(ing)

About 6 months ago Drake's was presented with the opportunity to acquire Cleeve of London, a beautiful, old shirting factory based out in the sleepy English countryside of Somerset, which we have quite enthusiastically jumped upon.

Since then we have been working tireslessy to develop the first capsule collection of Drake's shirting, under the label 'Cleeve of London', entirely hand crafted in England.

Post from last summer no the R&S purchase.

I own a couple of Drakes shirts which were carried in the US by Barneys in the 90s -early 2000s.
They were made in England. They're great shirts - very well made with interesting patterns and still look good. I see nothing in
the current website that comes close. Had Drakes actually left the shirt business in the interim?

[styledamage]

Sale now on.
