The verdict
Fit
Mock neck provides warmth without a full turtleneck. Linen-cotton blends run slightly irregular in fit; expect true to size with a relaxed drape.
Quality
Drake's construction is meticulous with careful finishing. Linen-cotton blends wrinkle readily and require frequent hand-washing; durability is good but care is demanding.
Is the price fair?
Premium-tier pricing driven by Drake's heritage and the linen content. Fair if you value British craftsmanship and are willing to maintain linen carefully.
Best for
Linen enthusiasts and shoppers prioritizing quality construction and aesthetic over low-maintenance wear.
Care
Hand-wash only in cool water; linen-cotton wrinkles and can lose shape if machine-washed. Air-dry flat and expect frequent ironing.
What owners report about Drake's sweaters
Owners on Styleforum report the knits holding up to heavy use — one wore a fair isle cashmere piece hard all winter with little to any pilling. The range is knitted by different outside mills, and owners note the specs vary between models, so fit is not consistent across the line: some pieces are reported to run small in the chest and body length while others run large. Price is the recurring gripe — even posters who like the knitwear say the brand tends to overcharge relative to what comparable Scottish-knit pieces cost.
- Strengths
- Durability — owners report seasons of hard wear with minimal pilling on the wool and cashmere knits.
- Watch out for
- Sizing is inconsistent from style to style because different mills knit different models, and several owners consider the line overpriced for what it is.
- Sizing
- Measurements differ between models, so owners advise checking each piece's measurements rather than trusting your usual size — and when in doubt, sizing up.
