I ust got my hands on a blue university stripe OCBD from Drake’s (they call it “ticking stripe”) in slim fit, and I am in love. I have tried their regular fit shirts before, and they’re great. But it turns out Drake’s slim fit is perfect for me. I also really like the blue color of the stripe—vivid, but from afar it’s of course somewhat subtle.
Let me also just say, that Drake’s collar rolls perfectly every time. Its super lightweight interlining is just magic, and the way they position the buttons means it rolls with no effort on your part. Also, they positioned the second button a bit lower so if you wear it open collar it’s a bit extra but still boardroom appropriate (I unbutton two buttons anyway and just rock it).
Buy it in regular fit from Baltzar for $170 shipped to USA, or from Drake’s for $215. Slim fit from Drake’s is here.
