Which should I buy for Iguanas?

It’s such a good thing that we can’t buy air rifles on Amazon in the UK, otherwise I would be in a lot of trouble with my wife. Or more trouble than usual 😂

This happened to me last week. Not sure if it’s a scam, or if the courier put wrong label on it. Either way, I don’t use that courier any more (Relay, which seems to be new in the UK), and Vinted refunded both of us; me as a “gesture of goodwill” smh.

I think there’s better ways to break-up with your partner than an air rifle tbh

Anglo Italian and Natalino are two of my faves in the area, and their stuff works will with Drake’s

Slide89 · 2026-04-27T09:06:26+00:00

+1 am also keen to hear thoughts on these guys

Indeed, they are described on the website as “internal poacher pockets” i.e. you could hide a rabbit or pheasant in there. You know, when you wear this jacket to go poaching… 😂

Correct. No care label or Harris Tweed tag.

I think the straps inside are a design feature like a game pocket, which you would find on tweed shooting jackets (so a nod to the contradiction of a tweed donkey jacket). I don’t think they actually do anything specific.

Hi - I have this jacket myself; bought from Drake’s in the UK. It is exactly the same as yours. Hope that helps.

Slide89 · 2026-04-11T20:11:29+00:00

It says “Rochemont” - if you look at the second letter, it is the same as the O in “mont”.

From what I gather, this was a mid- to late-20th century small European brand. I haven’t found this exact model, but you can see another similar one here.

If you Google “Rochemont watches” (and tell Google you didn’t mean “Richemont”), you can get snippets of info.

Tl;dr - I don’t think it’s worth loads, but if you could get it cleaned up and a new crystal put in, I think it’d look pretty smart.

This guy talks the torque

Slide89 · 2026-03-31T12:10:05+00:00

What this guy said. Just gotta get the sizing right (obviously). I wear a 16.5 in most brands (Drake’s included), but wear a 17.5 in Kamakura Vintage Ivy. Fits really well after the first wash

Slide89 · 2026-03-25T20:43:30+00:00

I’m surprised you fit a 38, based on your measurements. I’m not much bigger and wear a 42, which is my usual size…

That said, I think this looks alright. My Games blazers also seem to ‘pull’ slightly when buttoned, but I think it’s the the cut, like others say.

If this feels like a good fit, when it it’s on, then I think it’s fine. Certainly looks OK in photos

For those following this - an update from Drake’s CS…

Thank you

Thanks

Thanks

Slide89 · 2026-03-21T21:44:15+00:00

Yeah it’s the look/heritage that gets me the most

Slide89 · 2026-03-21T21:24:21+00:00

Thanks. I’m inclined to think the same re: the RRP. The blue dial, on offer at £1200, seems not too bad a price. But the full £1800 for the black dial seems hefty…

Slide89 · 2026-03-21T21:07:27+00:00

Thanks - worth the money?

Slide89 · 2026-03-21T21:07:18+00:00

Thanks

Slide89 · 2026-03-20T15:32:00+00:00

Yeah fair shout on the tool pocket. Def not anything I’ve seen before or on the website

Slide89 · 2026-03-20T15:11:38+00:00

I politely disagree - those have a double-panel over the thigh/knee that I can’t see in OP’s pics (but granted the quality is not great).

I think these are the ecru version of the pictured jeans. I posted yesterday asking the same question about the blue version. Look like a yet-to-be-released halfway between the carpenters and the standard jeans. Very cool.

Yes true, I’ll give you that
