Chamula for Drake's Navy and Red Fairisle Merino Jumper
The verdict
Fit
Chamula fairisle typically runs generous; expect a relaxed fit and 2-3 cm drop on shoulders. Merino can feel slightly tighter than wool crew necks.
Quality
Fairisle merino from Chamula signals superior knitting craft. Patterning and stitch definition reflect the maker's reputation; expect excellent color separation.
Price check
545 GBP is premium for a fairisle jumper. Navy and red patterning is bold; prices within the luxury fairisle tier, justified by construction.
Best for
The fairisle enthusiast and Chamula collector seeking a navy-red statement piece with technical knitting.
Care
Merino fairisle should be hand washed separately and laid flat; protect patterning from high heat.

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.
