The verdict
Fit
Rugby shirt cut—generous through the body, designed to layer without binding. Expect room at the chest and shoulders.
Quality
Cotton rugby at this price comes with even dyeing and steady stitching; don't expect premium finishes, but construction holds.
Is the price fair?
At 225 GBP, the multi-color dye-work adds cost—fair for what's involved, though pattern boldness comes at a premium.
Best for
Adventurous weekend dressers or someone with strong color palette confidence; not a neutral anchor.
Care
Bright multi-color cottons should wash cool and separately at first to prevent bleeding; dry flat or hang.
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.
