1977 RAGLAN SPORTS SWEATSHIRT - PURPLE
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.
A nod to classic collegiate sportswear, our ‘1977’ sweatshirt is cut for a vintage-inspired silhouette from a 13.2oz cotton jersey. True to its athletic roots, it features raglan sleeves, ribbed cuffs, and the traditional “V” insert at the collar, a practical detail to absorb perspiration and prevent overstretching.
