Fewer things,

A small house for considered tailoring and fluid drape — built from cloth first, cut to be lived in, and added to slowly rather than all at once.

What we
believe.
A house of twenty-two pieces
Drape is a small ready-to-wear house. We make a tight wardrobe of twenty-two pieces and we add to it slowly — a coat one season, a trouser the next. Nothing is designed to be replaced. A piece earns its place by being worn for a decade, not a year.
It is a wardrobe for someone who has stopped buying for the calendar. Tailoring that holds a line; cloth heavy enough to fall properly; a fit cut relaxed so the body, not the seam, decides how a garment moves. We work from the fabric outward — the cloth comes first, and the shape answers to it.
What we refuse: a spring drop and an autumn drop and a resort drop. Trims that date a coat to the year it was bought. Cloth chosen to hit a price rather than to last. We would rather make four things and stand behind them than make forty and hope.

Section 04 — Craft & make
Cloth first, then the cut.
Every Drape garment begins on a mill floor in Italy and ends in a single atelier — full-canvas, hand-finished, slow.
Atelier
The canvas, set by hand
The mills
We weave with three houses: Lanificio Brunese in Biella for tailoring cloth, Tessitura Valmara for crêpe and silk, and Filatura Sondrio for undyed alpaca and merino. All within a day of Milan.
The canvas
Coats and jackets are full-canvas — a floating horsehair-and-wool interlining, never fused. It is the slow way and the only way a chest stays clean and a lapel keeps its roll for years.
Hand-finishing
Pick-stitched edges, set-in sleeves eased by hand, buttonholes worked by a single finisher. Roughly fourteen hours of hand-work go into a tailored coat before it is pressed.
The atelier
Cutting and making happen in one small atelier outside Porto. A garment is made start to finish by one maker — not passed down a line — so it carries one hand, not ten.

The Coat
Section 05 — Featured garment
The Coat,
in full.
The cloth is a double-faced wool from Lanificio Brunese — two faces woven and bound without a lining, so the coat is one continuous piece of fabric inside and out. It weighs 680 grams to the metre: heavy enough to hang in a true vertical line, light enough to wear from October through to spring.
It is cut long and easy, with a dropped shoulder and a deep armhole, so it falls over a jacket without strain. The collar can stand or sit. There is no padding and no shoulder build — the drape comes from the weight of the cloth, not from structure. Two welt pockets, horn buttons, a single back vent.
The fit is relaxed by intent. Take your usual size for a clean line over knitwear; size down for a closer cut. It is made to be the last coat in the room you reach for, and the one still worth wearing in ten years.

Sizing & fit notes
The wardrobe runs relaxed. For tailoring, take your usual size for an easy line over knitwear, or size down for a closer cut. Knitwear is true to size.
Pieces & ranges
Tailoring is offered in sizes 0–6; knitwear and shirting in XS–XL. Each piece carries a full set of garment measurements on its page.
Made-to-measure
The Coat and the Tailored Jacket can be cut to measure through any stockist, with a four to six week lead time.
Care
Every garment ships with a care card and a cloth bag. We repair Drape pieces for the life of the garment.

Notes from the house

On weight: why a coat should be heavy
A short defence of 680 grams, and the difference between a coat that hangs and a coat that merely covers.

A day at Lanificio Brunese
Inside the Biella mill where our tailoring cloth is woven — and why we have never moved the order elsewhere.

Section 09 — Questions
Before you
order.
Anything else, write to the house at [email protected] — a person answers.
Sizing and fit — how does it run?
The wardrobe runs relaxed by design — these are pieces meant to drape, not to fit close. For tailoring, take your usual size for a clean, easy line over knitwear, or size down once for a closer cut. Knitwear and shirting are true to size. Every product page lists full garment measurements, and we are glad to talk a size through before you order.
How do I care for the fabrics?
The collection is largely wool and silk, and both like to be left alone. Wool tailoring and knitwear need only airing and a soft brush between wears — dry-clean once or twice a season, no more. Washed silk can be hand-washed cool and dried flat in shade. Every garment ships with a care card specific to its cloth, and a cotton bag to rest it in.
Shipping and returns
We ship worldwide. Within the UK and EU, delivery is two to four working days and is complimentary; elsewhere it is three to seven days, with any duties shown clearly at checkout. Unworn pieces can be returned within thirty days for a full refund, with returns free in the UK and EU. Made-to-measure orders are final, as they are cut to one person.
Do you restock, or is it seasonless?
Seasonless. Drape is a permanent wardrobe of twenty-two pieces, not a sequence of drops — a garment stays in the collection year after year and is rewoven as stock runs low, so what you buy now will still be offered next winter. We add to the wardrobe slowly, two or three pieces a year, and we retire a piece only when we can no longer source its cloth.
Where is Drape made?
The cloth is woven at three mills in Italy — Lanificio Brunese in Biella, Tessitura Valmara, and Filatura Sondrio. Cutting and making are done in a single small atelier outside Porto, in Portugal, where each garment is built start to finish by one maker. The house itself is based in London, where the collection is designed.
