Button-Ups

The verdict

Heavy cotton-linen overshirt at a luxury price; buy if you want bombast-free field wear and Drake's reputation justifies the cost.

Fit

Overshirts layer generously. This cotton-linen blend likely cuts fuller than a dress shirt; expect comfortable layering fit with room for a sweater underneath.

Quality

Cotton-linen blends improve with age when constructed well. At £595, Drake's should deliver substantial fabric weight and stitching quality appropriate for years of wear.

Price check

Luxury-tier overshirt pricing. This is a pure heritage play; the premium reflects brand positioning and material sourcing rather than technical innovation.

Best for

Workwear enthusiasts and heritage-conscious dressers looking for a durable, versatile overshirt that ages gracefully.

Care

Wash warm and dry naturally. The linen content will wrinkle; embrace it or press lightly. Expect slight shrinkage on first wash.

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.
