Camel Lambswool Shawl Collar Cardigan

Sweaters

The verdict

Buy for luxury layering in camel; Drake's premium lambswool cardigan at mid-premium pricing.

Fit

Shawl collar, generous layering cut. Lambswool cardigans from Drake's tend toward relaxed fit; expect comfort over tailored body skimming.

Quality

Lambswool elevates softness and drape over Shetland. Shawl collar construction demands precision; Drake's reputation suggests solid finishing.

Price check

495 GBP is mid-premium for a lambswool cardigan. Camel is versatile; fair pricing for the material and neckline detail.

Best for

The layerer who owns other Drake's cardigans and wants a premium lambswool piece for smart-casual layering.

Care

Hand wash gently and dry flat; lambswool is softer than Shetland but requires care with stretching.

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.
