Navy Stripe Denim Work Shirt

Name: Drake's Navy Stripe Denim Work Shirt
Brand: Drake's
SKU: drakes-navy-stripe-denim-work-shirt
Price: 245 GBP

Button-Ups

£245

The verdict

A structured denim shirt that straddles workwear utility and casual authenticity—honest construction, reasonable price.

Fit

Denim work shirts run generous and are cut to layer without binding; sleeves typically sit longer than cotton dress styles. True to Drake's sizing.

Quality

Navy denim at 245 GBP suggests a mid-weight fabric (not heavy duck, not light chambray) with standard factory construction. Expect the weave to soften with age without fraying.

Price check

The price reflects denim's durability and the brand's name rather than rare fiber or technical processing. Good value for a shirt that will outlast several cotton button-ups.

Best for

Someone building a practical everyday wardrobe who wants a denim shirt that reads as deliberately made, not casually assembled.

Care

Denim fades; wash less frequently and inside-out to slow indigo loss. Cold water only, and avoid high heat drying.

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.
