Cut from a densely knitted cotton, an idiosyncratic take on an enduring bit of vintage sportswear has a substantial feeling to it, as well as a certain tactility. For rugbies, Drake's created a pattern inspired by their shirts – the collar in particular takes its cues from the ‘English Classic’ style – by working closely with shirtmakers to create a fit that is a bit less baggy and sporty, and more refined and elegant. The resulting pattern was one with a slightly trimmer body and a higher armhole, making the shirts perfect for wearing with tailoring, unlike their more traditionally shaped cousins.
