About Us

Drake’s is a London-born menswear house founded by Michael Drake in East London in 1977. The brand began with scarves, shawls and plaids before becoming known for handmade ties and handkerchiefs, establishing a distinctive reputation for craftsmanship and expressive British style. Today, Drake’s continues to build its collections around the philosophy of “Relaxed Elegance,” balancing traditional menswear with an easy, individual approach to dressing.

The Drake’s wardrobe brings together tailoring and everyday clothing without treating them as separate worlds. Current collections include blazers, suits, coats, jackets, trousers, shirts, knitwear, polo shirts and denim, giving men options for formal occasions as well as relaxed daily dressing.

Shirting remains an important part of the Drake’s identity. The brand produces shirts in its own factory in Chard, Somerset, while its ties are handmade in East London. Made-to-Order services further emphasize fabric selection, construction and personal details, including different tie widths, lengths and finishing options.

Beyond tailoring, Drake’s offers a broad selection of accessories and footwear, including silk ties, scarves, hats, belts, socks, shoes and leather goods. Its collections combine classic British references with fabrics, patterns and silhouettes that give traditional menswear a more relaxed and contemporary character.

For shoppers in the United States, Drake’s provides a distinctive destination for refined menswear built around craftsmanship rather than fleeting trends. From an Oxford shirt or knitted polo to a soft-shouldered jacket, tailored trouser or patterned silk tie, the collection is designed to create a wardrobe that can evolve over time.
