Drake's Bespoke Tie Service Launches Online

In the spirit of Savile Row bespoke tailoring, Drake's is proud to offer superbly handcrafted ties to your personal specification. Each of the tie lengths offered within our bespoke service has been crafted from individual master patterns graded perfectly to the appropriate length of the tie so that the knot area is neither too wide nor too narrow.
On how to establish your correct length, it's best to work from a personal tie that is nearest to the length you have in mind. A simple guide would be to measure the tie from the tip of the front blade to the tip of the tail. Then tie the tie using your knot of choice, have someone measure how much longer both the front and tail need to be in order to reach to just above the trouser waistband. Add these measurements to the length of the tie and deduct 2cms to allow for fabric stretch; as a rule of thumb, printed fabrics are inclined to stretch more than woven fabrics. This also applies to our grenadine quality.
For this bespoke service the turnaround time is 2 - 6 weeks. The cost is £155 per tie, and no minimum applies.

Zara Men May Lookbook


One of my weekly rituals is walking into the Zara Flagship store on Oxford street on my way back from uni. They are on point this season with their range of witty, uber cool excellent copies. I've marked out a couple of pieces i would be adding to my fashion week wardrobe.












Ohema Ohene African Print Espadrilles


African print has been enjoying a good place on the trends barometer and i don't see that coming to an end anytime soon. Even though London weather gives the word 'Bipolar' an advanced meeting we can only hope that soon, the sun will be out and we can all sunbathe in short shorts and feetchic print espadrilles.

These Zara Leather Sandals are Pushing all My Buttons


New in at Zara this week, this baby has got me swooning and jumping from pole to pole like a monkey. Going absolute bananas for these shoes and i can see them fitting well into my Milan Fashion Week wardrobe. As i sit here, munching some tasty commercial Walnut cake from Tesco i'm already looking past my exams which ideally should just come so i can get it over with and properly plan my trip.


Get Familiar: Derby Uni Final Year Fashion Design Student AJ Masudi


Looking forward to Graduate Fashion Week so i can finally see the full graduate collection from Tanzanian/British designer AJ Masudi who's work I've been majorly impressed by.




I Need These Reebok London TC Trainers in My Life


Ever since i copped a black pair of these classic Reebok sneakers I've practically dumped all my other shoes. I tried on my Nike Air Max 1 today and realized i would have to let it go cos it does not perform as good as this vintage Reebooks. Since I've fallen so in love with them I've tracked down a few other subs on Amazon and this one here on Asos which retails for £55.

Getting this once i get paid at the end of this month.
