A reader asked earlier in the week when the Drake’s factory sale was. The answer is, Thursday!
The sale is being held at the Haberdasher Street location, from Thursday to Saturday. Opens at 10am Thursday. Also featuring Mackintosh. See you there…
I have to say, that's pretty much the opposite of everything I love about the Rifugio one. It's so showy and overdetailed. Much better with the nubuck finish, and it's all about the skin

What’re the opening times? I managed to pick up a Sea Island cotton T&A in the sale Id love to find a nice Drakes Tie to go with it
10am-7pm Thursday and Friday, 10am-5pm on Saturday
Wonderful news – thank you Simon.
Simon – an off-topic request if I may – it would be great if you could do a post on wearing light coloured casual trousers (eg summer linens/cottons) and how to choose shirts to wear with them, particularly for those with a light complexion. Does one go for a shirt of a similar tone and risk looking washed-out or a darker shirt and risk looking imbalanced? Dark trousers light shirt looks natural; vice versa less so.
Interesting point. I nearly always end up wearing a light blue shirt with such trousers, but other parts of the outfit are important too of course.
I’ll plan something
Thank you for the heads up Simon. I’m very pleased with the 3 tie I picked up.
If only I lived in London.
Hi Simon, I somehow missed this post from earlier in the year! Does this mean Drakes are not holding their (somewhat) annual factory sale in December?
Good Day Sir –
How does one in the USA take advantage of these pop up sales or Factory Sales that seem to happen rather often?
I’m afraid you can’t really, they are driven by being in a physical location for a short period of time.
Hi Simon
I heard (second hand) that Drake’s is to close their Haberdasher Street office and shop. I wondered if you had heard the same or had any information.
?
I had heard that, yes. The office is mostly in the basement at Savile Row now. I don’t have any more information though
