No, sorry Christoph. Remember though that only a small part of a mill's cloths are available bespoke. So just because you know where the Drake's one is from doesn't mean you can buy it if you're not a brand
Drake’s soft, stylish jackets

Gieves & Hawkes bespoke linen suit: Review
Read the commentsSure Patrick, but it isn't really a good comparison between Smedley as it's knitwear, and this which is cut-and-sewn like any regular polo shirt. Unless you mean comparing this with the Dartmoor sweater we offer?

I went to the shop the other day. It was great to see the selection but the prices are something else. Somehow I don’t mind spending £100+ on their ties when I know almost no-one else will have one (and I’ve bought a few of their scarves in the past too), but £245 for a shirt seems too much when I could get one bespoke for less from top quality materials. Same for the jackets, which, from recollection, were £1,100+. I hope it succeeds but was surprised by the prices.
Just a pity their shop prices are higher than online
There’s nothing like a sunny day in London. And with such a great store to explore!
On the prices, items in the shop that are the same as online are priced the same. There are, however, several items that are not online yet, including untipped ties, vintage cufflinks, shoes and checked shirts in particularly luxurious cloth. All these are more expensive.
I hope this helps
