Drake Gifted $500,000 Diamond Jacket
Drake is dripping in diamonds.
Famed Toronto tailor Garrison Bespoke surprised the 6 God by gifting him a one-of-a-kind sports jacket covered in 235 handset diamonds during Tuesday’s Raptors game.
According to Page Six, the custom outerwear costs $550,000 and is made from 100-year-old deadstock jersey cloth from the House of Dormeuil’s private collection.
It is adorned with lab-grown Diamond Foundry diamonds in the shape of a basketball on the inside left-hand lining and Drake’s signature OVO owl logo on the exterior and interior right-hand side.
“It’s a real honour to create a piece for Drake to celebrate a successful year as the Raptors’ Global Ambassador,” said Michael Nguyen, the owner of Garrison Bespoke. “This year, we created a really special jacket that marries old world craft and new world innovation.”
The jacket will fit nicely in Drake’s extravagant wardrobe. He recently showed off his million-dollar outfit including $15,000 Tom Ford crocodile shoes, $200,000 chain, and $750,000 Richard Mille watch.
Drake has also teamed up with Dsquared2 on a line of OVO-branded apparel. The capsule collection, which is sold online and at OVO stores, includes streetwear such as hoodies, track pants, T-shirts, jeans, and denim jackets.
