Name: Drake's Green Piqué Cotton Polo Shirt
Brand: Drake's
SKU: drakes-green-pique-cotton-polo-shirt-2
Price: 145 GBP

Polos

£145

The verdict

A straightforward piqué polo at £145; entry-level Drake's pricing that trades premium detail for brand and basic quality.

Fit

Piqué cotton has slight stretch and texture. Drake's polos fit close to the body but with room at the chest; standard polo proportions.

Quality

Piqué construction is standard for polos at this price. Drake's finishing is competent but not exceptional—seams are sound, collar should hold shape.

Price check

At £145, this is affordable for a named British brand. You're primarily paying for the Drake's label and basic piqué quality, not excess finish.

Best for

Someone who wants a recognizable branded polo for casual work or weekend wear without seeking luxury or technical features.

Care

Piqué benefits from hang-drying to preserve texture; machine washing is fine but keep heat low.

What owners report about Drake's polos

Drake's polos split into heavyweight piqué cotton styles and knitted cotton-linen styles, and fabric weight is the first thing owners mention: several wear the piqué constantly and count the thick cloth as a plus, while one reviewer found the material so heavy and thick it "almost felt like cotton canvas" and passed on it. The knitted polos get specific praise for fit, cut and collar, though even fans call them extravagantly expensive. One long-term owner reports the piqué's colour faded with frequent wear (revived with a home machine dye), and owners note the distinctive 70s-style collar on the long-sleeve piqué.

Strengths: Owners call the piqué polo very well executed and hard-wearing, and praise the fit, cut and collar of the knitted cotton-linen polos.
Watch out for: The heavy, thick piqué hand polarizes owners, colour fades with heavy wear, and the knitted polos are repeatedly flagged as extremely expensive even by people who like them.
Sizing: One owner who sized down in the knitted polo for a slimmer look concluded the design intent is a boxier, 1950s-style silhouette with longer, fuller sleeves — sizing down works against the cut.
