The verdict
Fit
Button-down collar and pinpoint Oxford cloth suggest a crisp, structured business fit. Oxford's tight weave resists wrinkles and irons smoothly.
Quality
White Oxford from Drake's should be durable and maintain whiteness with proper care. Expect solid construction and minimal shrinkage.
Is the price fair?
£225 is premium for a white Oxford dress shirt; fair for Drake's heritage but comparable pieces exist at lower prices.
Best for
Business and formal wear for someone who prioritizes named British tailoring and wants a reliable white dress shirt.
Care
Wash in warm water and line-dry to prevent yellowing; iron before wearing.
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.
