Welcome Drakes
Born in London’s East End in 1977, Drake’s began as a maker of men’s scarves and accessories items that quickly gained attention for their quality, character, and understated charm. Today, Drake’s has evolved into a full fledged menswear label known for its relaxed tailoring, luxurious staples, and a kind of sartorial wit that never takes itself too seriously
Founder Michael Drake started with a simple ethos, to create timeless pieces with a focus on quality. The brand first gained renown for its ties and pocket squares, made in its own London factory and hand checked for quality, an old-school approach that still defines the brand. Even now, each tie goes through 18 meticulous stages of production, reflecting Drake’s refusal to cut corners.
Over the years, Drake’s has expanded into a head-to-toe lifestyle brand without losing its identity. While its ties and scarves remain iconic, its modern day collections include shirting, outerwear, vests, and trousers.
Drake’s button down shirts are cut in its own factory in Somerset, using fine fabrics and a gently tailored fit. Their cotton and linen shirts in particular are a fan favorite, often paired with denim or under unstructured blazers.
When it comes to outerwear, Drake’s combines practical design with rich, luxurious materials. Their Linen Five Pocket Jacket is truly a stand out due to its versatility, rustic, full body linen weave, and depth of color. We suggest pairing this jacket with Drake's Short Sleeve White Tee, light washed jeans and a classic sneaker.

What sets Drake’s apart from other menswear brands is its ability to take traditional elements, like Ivy League prep and British tailoring, and make them feel cool again. For example the Drakes Rugby Polo, its less baggy and sporty then a traditional rugby shirts making it more modern for the average dresser.
With flagship locations in London’s Clifford Street and New York’s Canal Street, Drake’s has cultivated a global following. Yet it remains proudly rooted in its British heritage, making shirts and ties in the UK, getting fabrics from trusted European mills, and staying small enough to care about the details.
Drake’s isn’t about chasing trends or flexing logos. It’s about curating a wardrobe that feels both classic and personal, filled with pieces that look even better the more you wear them. Drake’s delivers pieces that are built to last and make getting dressed feel like a creative act.
