The verdict
Fit
Brushed Shetland is soft and loose-textured; expect relaxed fit and casual appeal. Canary yellow is warm and visibility-high; it suits fair and olive skins well but is unforgiving on cool undertones. Size for ease of layering.
Quality
Brushed Shetland from Drake's at this price is durable and resistant to pilling. The nap adds softness but fades with washing; expect gradual colour softening over 20+ washes.
Is the price fair?
Budget-friendly for a named brand in a bold colour. Canary limits versatility but lowers the cost burden of the risk.
Best for
A shopper with a warm undertone and a seasonal rotation who wants a cheerful, casual Shetland jumper for everyday autumn wear.
Care
Wash inside-out in cool water to slow fading; lay flat to dry away from direct sun.
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.
