Fair Isle Vest

Story

A traditional British layering piece in a relaxed fit

British golfers and cricket players put sweater vests on the map back in the day: the wool kept them warm while their arms were free to swing about. Drake’s celebrates this tradition with their Fair Isle Vest which is knitted in Scotland from soft, breathable lambswool. It’s a perennial layering piece with a classic geometric pattern so it feels quite at home for any number of casual occasions—no grass, club, or bat required.

About Drake’s

Founded in 1977 by Michael Drake in East London, Drake’s made a name for themselves crafting exceptional scarves, plaids, ties, and handkerchiefs that high-end boutiques clamored for. Since then, Creative Director Michael Hall has taken the helm and expanded the brand to include outerwear, buttondowns, knitwear, and other iconic favorites with the ethos of “Relaxed Elegance.” Their tradition, however, remains. They still source waxed cotton from a historic British mill. Oxford shirts come from their own factory in Somerset. Silk ties are hand rolled in London. You get the picture. Timeless styles impeccably made—these are clothes for life.
