Drake's

Drake's is a luxury menswear manufacturer and retailer, creating garments and accessories that embody a philosophy of relaxed elegance.

Drake’s was founded in 1977 in London’s East End, producing scarves and shawls for high-end fashion boutiques and traditional tailoring houses, before branching out into the ties and pocket squares for which the brand became known. Michael’s philosophy was to produce timeless pieces that have a relaxed elegance to them, and his vision still informs Drake’s to this day. After working alongside Mich

ael Drake for over a decade, Michael Hill took over as Creative Director in 2010. Under Hill’s stewardship, Drake’s has grown from luxury accessories manufacturer to true design house, with a distinct and recognisable aesthetic; sartorially informed yet easy-wearing, contemporary yet timeless. Today our factory and headquarters is still based in the East End, a stone’s throw from London's silk weaving roots in Spitalfield, with a second Drake’s factory in Somerset. We pride ourselves on our dedication to craftsmanship and exacting quality as well as our unique design sensibility, creating enduring garments and accessories of real worth. In the words of Michael Hill, “we make things that people can and will want to wear, for years and years to come”.

A road trip. That beautiful American mythology. Almost as American as the Super Bowl. With Spencer Wells and Sarah Coggins we spent a few days getting lost along the rugged California coast, through its small hippy towns and grand national parks, country music fading in and out along the frequencies of the radio.

At a breakfast spot in Marin, where Spencer and Sarah live, we plotted out a path through Northern California, over pancakes and coffee, poring over maps, tracing a route from diners to dive bars.

We spent a few days in San Francisco this Spring to shoot our latest collection, finding inspiration in the city’s beautiful vistas, the buzz of its history, and the constantly changing Northern California weather. These clothes are designed to live up to such a mythological backdrop.

We wanted to celebrate our Games range this season with some of our favourite creative friends; artists, writers, photographers, set designers and creative directors, and see how they’d put the Games suit to use, how they’d wear it at work.

It’s a suit designed for a day in the studio that can also be worn through to an exhibition opening, it’ll work hard for you on set and still look good for a well earned drink after you’ve wrapped.

Introducing our new Winter Lookbook. Preparing you for whatever the weather throws up, from sunny days to cold winds and long evenings. Celebrating any excuse to layer up, whether that’s a Prince of Wales check blazer and a silk scarf, or the comfort of shearling and heavy reliability of an overcoat.

Introducing Michael McGregor for Drake’s, a collaboration years in the making, inspired by the artist’s vivid work and time spent on the island of Hydra.

There are short-sleeve and Oxford shirts in crisp cotton with an unmistakably colourful McGregor stripe throughout, t-shirts that reference local landmarks, loose drawstring shorts for hot days down by the port, along with embroidered caps featuring his take on the Hydra flag, and a very small run of custom-painted chore jackets, finished overlooking the sea on a summer’s day.

We’re proud to introduce the Drake’s and New Balance Allerdale, a new silhouette with the feel of an old favourite, constructed from tumbled brown leather and pig skin, with a FuelCell-equipped cup sole and Ortholite insole, Japanese nylon ripstop tongue, embroidered flying NB logo and unique D-ring lacing, along with three pairs of outdoor-inspired paracord laces, channelling the UK’s legacy of country pursuits and craftsmanship. A shoe fit for the fells and the city, and everything in between.

To coincide with the launch of the Allerdale, Drake’s Creative Director Michael Hill and New Balance put their heads together to design a limited edition collection that highlights the British outdoors and a handful of Drake’s staples, including an unstructured Games blazer and matching fatigue trousers in waxed herringbone cotton, a packable shirt, cagoule and utility vest in hardy ripstop nylon, hiking shorts and button down shirts, graphic t-shirts, knitted ties, and a tote bag that comprises all the fabrics utilised throughout the collection.

Available now in-store and online at drakes.com, and from New Balance on 27th June.

Introducing our latest lookbook, celebrating warmer weather and a fresh approach to summer tailoring.

Featuring a collection of sartorial-leaning single and double-breasted classics, highlights include plenty of premium Irish linen, including some softer palettes of ecru and beige—ideal for Tuscan weddings or mixed and matched during hotter days in the city—alongside our signature relaxed Games tailoring in antique linen, including a summery black tie-appropriate MKV iteration.

Styled with a range of Drake’s Made in Somerset shirts, pure silk ties featuring archival prints, and Goodyear-welted shoes, we wanted to celebrate the versatility of suiting for when the temperature rises.

Introducing our Spring Transitional Lookbook. Featuring some of our favourite pieces for that not quite winter, not quite spring time of the year, our latest lookbook is centred around tonal dressing—mixing and matching complementary palettes and textures—with some welcome bolts of colour to offset the duller days of late winter.

For the latest Perennials campaign—our year-round collection that comprises a classic Drake’s wardrobe, the staples and timeless go-tos that will never go out of style—we gathered a group of friends, old and new, in a city that means a great deal to us: Tokyo.

Everyone has their own way of wearing Drake’s, which is just how we like it. These are clothes for life.

Pictured here is Eisuke Yamash*ta, a noted writer, editor and the founder of the website, Mon Oncle. Eisuke wears our signature five-pocket chore jacket in heavyweight suede, along with a classic brushed Shetland jumper in pure lambswool.

Head to drakes.com to see the full lookbook and collection.

Perennials. Here today, here tomorrow.

Introducing Drake’s by Aaron Levine, a limited edition capsule collection inspired by dressing on the move.

Featuring a refined palette with a focus on black (a bit of a first for Drake’s,) Aaron worked closely alongside Creative Director Michael Hill, diving into the Drake’s archive and drawing on a few of Aaron’s favourite vintage pieces, resulting in a 20-piece collection loosely based on everything you might need for a few days of travel. A suit and tie for meetings and dinner; rugged denim and a jacket that can handle a bit of weather for walking around the city; cotton jersey, a cap and comfortable shirting for airports and hotel lobbies.
