The verdict

Wool work shirt with camp collar and check pattern: unusual and genuinely versatile.

Fit

Camp collar drapes softly; wool is naturally warmer than cotton. Check pattern reads clearly; fit is relaxed and true to size.

Quality

Drake's wool shirting is rare and well-constructed. Wool at this weight holds shape and resists wrinkling; seaming is solid.

Price check

GBP 295 for a wool camp-collar shirt reflects the material and maker reputation; fair for the unusual fiber choice and detail.

Best for

Cool-weather wear and someone seeking texture and color in one piece. Wool reads refined even in casual camp-collar form.

Care

Wool requires gentle washing in cool water with wool-specific soap; air dry flat to prevent stretching and pilling.

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.
