The verdict

Striped cotton popover with mandarin collar at mid-premium pricing; good if you like the mandarin aesthetic and Drake's stripe execution.

Fit

Mandarin collar is relaxed and informal. Stripe pattern typically sits flat on cotton; expect a comfortable, casual silhouette suitable for summer wear.

Quality

Striped cotton at this price should hold pattern alignment well. Drake's cotton construction should support both relaxed wear and durability.

Price check

Mid-premium tier for a striped popover. Fair value if you value Drake's stripe precision and mandarin collar execution.

Best for

Casual dressers and stripe enthusiasts seeking a mandarin-collar popover for relaxed summer styling.

Care

Wash cold, inside-out, to preserve stripe contrast. Cotton poplies well to pressing if you prefer a crisp look.

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.
