The verdict

A checked linen western shirt with subtle brown tones; Drake's gingham is crisp and weaves colour variation cleanly.

Fit

Two-pocket western cut in a lighter fabric; expect a structured fit with some ease, though linen will relax and soften with wear.

Quality

Gingham linen from Drake's is a traditional weave that balances structure with breathability. Check patterns can mask wrinkles better than plains.

Price check

Mid-premium pricing for a printed linen western. Gingham adds visual interest and practical wrinkle-masking compared to plain options.

Best for

A warm-weather wearer who wants western heritage styling with practical linen ventilation and doesn't mind the inevitable linen wrinkles.

Care

Linen gingham softens with washing; warm wash and air dry preserve the crispness of the check pattern.

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.
