Drake’s British heritage meets countryside layering in the Wadded Cord Vest. A natural companion to shirts and knits, it’s cut from heavy-wale corduroy and trimmed with genuine leather for both practical reinforcement and refined detail. Well-placed pockets inside and out keep essentials close at hand, while temperature-regulating wool insulates without unnecessary bulk.

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.
