Polos

£445

The verdict

Pink and olive knitted rugby at £445; Drake's premium tier with a bold color combo—a significant investment for a statement piece.

Fit

Knitted construction changes proportions versus woven—expect slightly different fit. The color contrast demands confident sizing.

Quality

Knitted rugby is Drake's premium finish. Seaming and stripe alignment are noticeably better than base rugby tiers.

Price check

At £445, you're paying for knitted construction, premium finishing, and a bold color statement. This is a signature piece, not a rotation basic.

Best for

A confident dresser with a clear styling vision who wants Drake's best rugby construction and is ready for pink and olive together.

Care

Knitted rugby requires gentle handling—hand-wash or delicate cycle, lay flat to dry.

What owners report about Drake's polos

Drake's polos split into heavyweight piqué cotton styles and knitted cotton-linen styles, and fabric weight is the first thing owners mention: several wear the piqué constantly and count the thick cloth as a plus, while one reviewer found the material so heavy and thick it "almost felt like cotton canvas" and passed on it. The knitted polos get specific praise for fit, cut and collar, though even fans call them extravagantly expensive. One long-term owner reports the piqué's colour faded with frequent wear (revived with a home machine dye), and owners note the distinctive 70s-style collar on the long-sleeve piqué.

Strengths: Owners call the piqué polo very well executed and hard-wearing, and praise the fit, cut and collar of the knitted cotton-linen polos.
Watch out for: The heavy, thick piqué hand polarizes owners, colour fades with heavy wear, and the knitted polos are repeatedly flagged as extremely expensive even by people who like them.
Sizing: One owner who sized down in the knitted polo for a slimmer look concluded the design intent is a boxier, 1950s-style silhouette with longer, fuller sleeves — sizing down works against the cut.
