The verdict

A restrained, office-ready striped shirt for someone who values thoughtful fabric choices over trend.

Fit

Long point collars are generous at the neckline and suit most face shapes; Drake's cuts the body with a modern slight taper. Expect nearer to fitted than their work-shirt line.

Quality

Selvedge cotton is a deliberate material choice that signals producer care; at this price, Drake's typically partners with reputable mills. Expect durability and a slight stiffness that softens with washing.

Price check

Pencil-striped, selvedge cotton business casual sits solidly in the mid-premium band. The price reflects material choice more than flashy branding.

Best for

A person building a professional wardrobe who sees a shirt as a tool, not an accessory.

Care

Selvedge benefits from careful washing—gentle cycle, cool water, and air-drying preserves color and sheen.

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.
