Chamula Navy and Red Fairisle Shawl Collar Cardigan

Sweaters
£545may be out of stock

The verdict

Premium fairisle cardigan at £545 — buy for the distinctive pattern if shawl collars suit you; strong brand pedigree.

Fit

Shawl collar sits loose and draped; fairisle cardigans typically run true to size or slightly oversized. Expect comfortable, relaxed fit.

Quality

Chamula fairisle is intricate; Drake's vetting ensures solid construction. Fairisle patterns are durable but pattern alignment varies slightly—intricate knits require careful washing.

Price check

Premium-tier pricing reflects the fairisle complexity and Drake's curation. Justified if the pattern and shawl collar appeal; comparable fairisle pieces at £400–£500 exist.

Best for

Pattern enthusiasts and shoppers seeking a statement cardigan for cooler months with heritage-brand credibility.

Care

Hand-wash in cool water; fairisle patterns are prone to bleeding and color bleeding with aggressive washing. Lay flat to dry.

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.
