SUEDE SHEARLING VEST - RICH BROWN
Drake’s was founded by Michael Drake in East London in 1977, a short walk from the city’s silk weaving roots in Spitalfields. Originally a maker of men’s ‘Scarves, Shawls and Plaids,’ the company soon expanded into handmade ties and handkerchiefs, its designs gaining a reputation for quality amongst the high-end boutiques and department stores of Paris, Milan, Tokyo and New York. Today, under the guidance of Creative Director Michael Hill, Drake's produces soft tailoring in Italy, traditional knitwear in Scotland, shirts in their own factory in Chard, Somerset, alongside premium jersey and an expansive range of outerwear, accessories and Selvedge denim, all with the brand ethos of ‘Relaxed Elegance.’ These are clothes that, in the words of Michael Hill, “People can and will want to wear, for years and years to come.
Working with an expert leather maker in Italy, Drakes created this snap button front vest, using a beautifully substantial suede. Rather than line the garment, it has kept the shearling side of the suede, which faces inwards towards the wearer, ensuring maximum warmth. This is a very special product.
