The verdict

Buy if ticking stripe appeals and you accept premium pricing for heritage British formal tailoring.

Fit

Button-down collar and Oxford cloth suggest a structured, business-appropriate fit. Oxford's tight weave irons smoothly and resists wrinkles.

Quality

Ticking stripe in Oxford from Drake's should be durable; stripes may show wear patterns with age, which is typical of this weave.

Price check

£225 is premium for a striped Oxford dress shirt; fair for Drake's brand but not exceptional value.

Best for

Business and smart-casual wear for someone who wants subtle pattern detail and heritage tailoring.

Care

Iron before wearing; wash warm and hang-dry to preserve stripe contrast.

What owners report about Drake's button-ups

Owners rate the oxford cloth very highly — a four-shirt comparison review called it the softest tested and said it stayed soft after repeated washing — and the lined-but-unfused collar draws praise for its natural roll, though wearers note the roll varies shirt to shirt because they are handmade. Recurring complaints are practical rather than about quality: the cut is slim with high armholes, which one reviewer found uncomfortable next to roomier fits, and forum posters report the published size chart doesn't match delivered shirts because measurements are taken before washing. Posters who own several oxfords also report the fabric weight is not consistent across the range.

Strengths: Soft oxford cloth that holds up through washing and an unfused collar with a natural roll, made in the brand's own UK factory.
Watch out for: A slim cut with high armholes, size-chart measurements owners say overstate the delivered (washed) shirt, and fabric weight that varies between shirts — all at a top-of-category price.
Sizing: Forum posters report delivered shirts measure smaller than the online size chart (the brand takes measurements pre-wash), so go by actual garment measurements and consider sizing up if between sizes or broad-shouldered.
