Apple Upper East Side

Edit; I went back to Drake’s this week just to see what was new in and was met with a great experience, attentive staff, invited me to a deadstock event where i met a bunch of cool folks. Glad to be writing this edit! Honestly I love this product and the brand is excellent. The experience in London, Savile Row, was so welcoming and friendly and kind. Everything high quality and built to last.

Drake’s has become my go-to brand/store in the city for high quality, timeless menswear pieces. Drake’s does not follow trends or fashion, but falls back comfortably on quintessential, classic pieces that every man should have in their wardrobe. They have a main line of Perennial items that make up their core collection, which is further accentuated with seasonal items that are only produced in limited runs and are not restocked once sold out. I truly appreciate their focus on style and not fashion, and this ethos carries over to the store experience. I’m usually around the neighborhood on weekends and I often swing by to try on something new each time. Jack and Tom are amazing and super knowledgable, and it’s always a pleasure to chat with them about their suit tailoring options, hand rolled ties, Japanese dyed denim, and much more. The store also occasionally hosts local artists for drinks and talks on weeknights (I’ve yet to go to one), and anecdotally has become a hub of sorts for sartorialists and creatives in the city. Drake’s is a rare gem in the city, with none too many that can rival its offerings. If you’re looking for more menswear options, I’d also recommend the Armoury in Tribeca and UES.

The quality of items they have in here are top notch. Very upscale fashion, from amazing suits, to jackets, sweaters, ties, handkerchiefs. Very good attention to detail on all clothing items, the store aesthetic could use an upgrade to match the quality of clothes. Great vibe of music and staff
