Drake's recently launched their e-store which, especially for those not near the large stores in NYC that carry their ties or without the time to shop in person, is well dressed news indeed.

Tasteful colors and patterns all beautifully made.
Watch this thread for news and product updates/images.
the polka-dot scarf would be lovely with the dirty-water dog cartisan's rodeo shirt, and the Brooks bros jeans.
you must admit tho how well it'd go with the beard

Their London atelier is no longer accepting, at least for a year, custom orders for bloody ties
Thanks for the heads up. Drake's offers some truly wonderful pieces.
Sierra Trading Post has printed silk twill for cheap. Try the dark brown floral. It's a heavy tie, if that's what you like.

Drake's also has an interesting Michael Drake line where the patterns are a bit more forward.
For example, I have one in a maroon but with Hindu god heads as the pattern. From a distance, it looks like a traditional English woven silk tie.
Just received a postcard from Davide Cenci in NYC about their Winter sale, which always includes a nice colleciton of Drake's ties.

I like the gingham-like scarves. Very nice. The ties look even narrower than the ones from this past year, which were already bordering on the too narrow for me. I'm not convinced about the green dots on navy...
There are good deals to be had on the bay for Drake's items.
They redesigned their site.
I think the redesign is horrendous. Someone there failed to read "Don't make me think". Bad, bad redesign.
Very nice stuff though. I love the Mughal scarf, and quite a few other things. The striped grenadines are nice (David Hober also has some on his site).
