A Casual Tailoring Story

As he unveils a new body of work at Drake’s Savile Row store, we spent an afternoon with painter Hugo Hamper Potts, to talk about painting faces and capturing landscapes.  

Peter Doyle’s studio is tucked away on a side street near Brighton’s seafront, among the rainbow-coloured terraces of Kemp Town. The Irish-born painter has been based in the seaside town for just over a year now. When we visit he’s deep in work for an upcoming exhibition that will open in New York in March.  

To celebrate our new Fatigue Edit, we put some of our hardest wearing pieces through their paces on a boatyard in Kent, with Felix Nash, the founder of Fine Cider.
