Button-Ups

The verdict

Twill military overshirt in green: durable and visually distinctive. Fair mid-premium pricing.

Fit

Military cut is structured; twill adds weight and substance. Green reads distinctly without being shocking. Fit is true to size and generous through the shoulders.

Quality

Twill construction is inherently durable; Drake's military seaming adds reinforcement. Expected longevity is several years of regular layering.

Price check

GBP 395 reflects the twill weight and military tailoring; fair for a structured overshirt with this level of substance.

Best for

Layering through cooler months; green works across color palettes and reads thoughtful rather than trendy.

Care

Twill can stiffen slightly; warm wash and air dry preserve the hand. Repeated washing will soften the fabric gradually.

What owners report about Drake's button-ups

Owners rate the oxford cloth very highly — a four-shirt comparison review called it the softest tested and said it stayed soft after repeated washing — and the lined-but-unfused collar draws praise for its natural roll, though wearers note the roll varies shirt to shirt because they are handmade. Recurring complaints are practical rather than about quality: the cut is slim with high armholes, which one reviewer found uncomfortable next to roomier fits, and forum posters report the published size chart doesn't match delivered shirts because measurements are taken before washing. Posters who own several oxfords also report the fabric weight is not consistent across the range.

Strengths: Soft oxford cloth that holds up through washing and an unfused collar with a natural roll, made in the brand's own UK factory.
Watch out for: A slim cut with high armholes, size-chart measurements owners say overstate the delivered (washed) shirt, and fabric weight that varies between shirts — all at a top-of-category price.
Sizing: Forum posters report delivered shirts measure smaller than the online size chart (the brand takes measurements pre-wash), so go by actual garment measurements and consider sizing up if between sizes or broad-shouldered.
