I love eating and drinking alone. Sure, a guest, a date, a ‘companion’ as reviewers primly call them, is a lovely thing to have, so the entire event is a collaborative celebration, coloured by conversation and interaction. But go solo and all that is stripped away. You have no choice but to concentrate on what you’re consuming, on your thoughts and on your surroundings. A review written alone has an entirely different timbre to one where someone else was present. Meditative, forensic, inward- looking, maybe too focussed. An accompanied review is emotional, a solo one analytical. And once you get adjusted the solitary vice, there’s only one place you want to sit. And that, without wishing to sound like some gin-ruined barroom existentialist, is ‘The Last Seat’.

A crucial element of any transitional wardrobe, the Shetland jumper is ideal for adding a touch of collegiate charm to any look, and is a piece of indispensable year-round layering.
During a Drake’s visit to Tokyo, Creative Director Michael Hill took a few laps around the streets of Omotesando—a polished stretch of retail stores, konbinis and office blocks— wearing some highlights from the autumn collection. Arriving in a typical palette of colourful checks, Madras cotton (ideal for a humid day in the city) is sourced from Chennai, where it’s home-spun by hand, before being pieced together in our Somerset workshop.
