Made to Order Tailoring
At Drake’s, we’re uncompromising in delivering what we have cultivated to be a distinct look. Our goal is always to achieve a perfect fit, but with a signature softness and relaxed ease in the silhouette.
The canvassing we use is intentionally soft, allowing for fluid lines and effortless wear. The shoulder? An unpadded spalla camicia for a natural, unstructured feel. And as for the lining, while it’s usually absent, when present, it’s chosen with the utmost care to complement the overall construction.
Our cloth selection is a curated collection, largely sourced from Britain, which pairs perfectly with our lightweight construction. We favour long-lasting British materials that align with the timeless quality of the brand: think rugged Scottish tweeds and heavy-duty Yorkshire worsteds woven from British wool—true staples for the discerning gentleman.
1. The Consultation
This is where the journey begins. We’ll sit down together to hand-pick the perfect fabric, take precise measurements, and discuss all the details to bring your vision to life. The session usually takes 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on how quickly you decide — no pressure, of course.
Pricing is based on fabric choice, with most two-piece suits ranging from £2,395 to £2,995.

2. The First Fitting
(6 – 8 weeks post-consultation)
Your garment, freshly arrived from our ateliers in an unfinished state, is now ready for its first round of tailoring. This method allows us greater flexibility to perfect the fit and make any necessary adjustments on the spot. Expect to see a piece of work
that is nearly yours — just waiting for a few tweaks.
3. The Second Fitting
(7 – 10 weeks after consultation)
After the first round of alterations, your suit will be nearing perfection. We'll review it together to make sure everything feels just right. If there’s any fine-tuning needed, we’re more than happy to take care of it. Typically, this is when the final garment is ready for collection.
Once your measurements are on file, future garments can be delivered completed, incorporating all previous adjustments.
