Khaki Green Linen Spread Collar Shirt

Name: Drake's Khaki Green Linen Spread Collar Shirt
Brand: Drake's
SKU: drakes-khaki-green-linen-spread-collar-shirt
Price: 225 GBP

Button-Ups

£225

The verdict

Buy if you need a versatile warm-weather shirt and accept the premium for British-made linen.

Fit

Spread collar and casual positioning suggest a relaxed, generous fit. Linen's natural texture means this won't feel crisp or structured.

Quality

Drake's standard construction and cloth weight should provide solid durability. Linen fares well with regular wear and washing when well-made.

Price check

£225 is a premium price, justified by Drake's heritage and cloth quality but not exceptional value for a linen casual shirt.

Best for

Warm weather and casual-to-smart-casual layering when you want a named British maker.

Care

Linen naturally wrinkles and softens; this is expected, not a defect.

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.
