The verdict

A double-breasted cotton chore coat balancing heritage workwear aesthetic with tailoring; worth the cost for versatile, durable wear.

Fit

Chore coats run relaxed and generous through the body and sleeves. True to size for a roomier fit; can be worn over light layers without bunching.

Quality

Drake's cotton chore coats use sturdy canvas or twill with reinforced seams and generous pocket construction. Durability is excellent for the weight.

Price check

At £795, this is mid-range for a tailored chore coat. Fair pricing for Drake's quality and the double-breasted detail work.

Best for

Shoppers wanting a utilitarian layer that bridges casual and dressed-up occasions, with enough durability for repeated wear.

Care

Cotton chore coats handle machine washing on a gentle cycle; air dry to prevent shrinkage and preserve the canvas finish.

What owners report about Drake's jackets & outerwear

Owners and menswear reviewers treat Drake's jackets — the five-pocket chore jackets and Games blazers especially — as well-made, fabric-led pieces, and an editorial comparison of luxury chore coats found the label's range of cloths, sizes and availability consistently stronger than its peers, with fabric-specific details like snap cuffs on suede versions and rivet buttons on denim ones. The cut runs relaxed by design: forum owners describe Games blazers as slouchy and slightly oversized, with sleeves that frequently need shortening. Pricing draws pushback — commenters on a corduroy Games blazer review argued the fit would have to be perfect to justify the outlay on a casual jacket.

Strengths: Reviewers credit the line's breadth of fabrics and its relaxed casual-tailoring cut, executed with detailing matched to each cloth.
Watch out for: Owners report erratic sizing between styles, sleeves that run long, and prices that even fans say are hard to justify.
Sizing: Fit is intentionally relaxed and inconsistent across styles — one owner fit a 38 Games blazer but needed a 40 in the suede chore jacket — so check each style's own measurements before buying.
