Button-Ups

The verdict

Softened denim western shirt with relaxed fit; go if you want durable casual wear that's already broken in.

Fit

Western cut with fuller shoulders and chest; Drake's two-pocket styling. Stone wash softens the weave, so expect a drape closer to chambray than rigid denim.

Quality

Stone-washed denim is soft from the start and holds color better than bleach wash. Drake's construction is solid even in this casual category.

Price check

£245 is fair for a stone-washed denim shirt from a maker with this heritage. The softer hand is worth the price over bleached alternatives.

Best for

Casual wearers who want denim's durability with immediate softness and a relaxed, lived-in appearance.

Care

Wash cold inside-out to preserve the muted color; hang dry to avoid shrinkage of the weave.

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.
