The verdict

A navy wool work shirt from Drake's with camp collar and four pockets; versatile for layering and casual wear if wool suits your climate and skin.

Fit

Drake's wool work shirts cut with a generous, relaxed fit and wide sleeves. The camp collar sits open and accessible. Four pockets add ruggedness to the silhouette.

Quality

Navy wool from Drake's is durable and will develop a patina with wear. Seaming and finish are consistent with the brand's mid-to-premium standard.

Price check

At £275, the price reflects wool's durability and Drake's reputation. Fairly positioned for a wool casual shirt; not a bargain but reasonable for the material.

Best for

A wearer seeking a flexible layer that works in light layering systems and feels equally at home in casual and rustic settings.

Care

Gentle hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry. Wool naturally resists odours, so washing can be infrequent.

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.
