After Drake’s · Spring/Summer 2024
Dark Green Narrow Stripe Poplin Club Collar Shirt
Drake's makes this shirt at its Somerset factory in a lightweight cotton poplin with narrow dark green stripes on a white ground. Its club collar has rounded points and a soft, floating interlining, a style that goes back to English school and club dress. The cloth is smooth with a slight sheen and resists creasing, so the shirt suits a working week as well as weekends, worn with or without a tie.

Stanton 120s Green Bengal Stripe
We chose a 120s two-ply broadcloth in a dark green and white bengal stripe because it is close to the original's colour, stripe scale and smooth plain weave. We kept the single chest pocket with a rounded base, the one-piece yoke, the one-button cuff and mother of pearl buttons. This version was made with a soft spread collar and a French front, so it does not have the original's club collar or front placket.
The Stanton is a very lightweight cotton broadcloth woven in Europe from 120s two-ply yarn. It feels smooth and crisp and has almost no surface texture. The bengal stripes in dark green and white are slightly wider than a pencil stripe. It creases more readily than a twill but irons well and can also be worn unironed.

- Care
- Their light weight tends to make them more prone to wrinkling than twills or pinpoints, however broadcloths iron up nicely and can even be worn washed without ironing for a more casual look. Finish: No Treatment.
