The verdict

A statement wool overcoat with classic houndstooth patterning; excellent for formal or refined everyday wear if you embrace the weight.

Fit

Raglan coats have a relaxed, sloped shoulder which offers easy layering underneath. Expect a fuller, slightly generous cut—true to size or size up for heavier cardigans.

Quality

Drake's own-brand wool raglan coats are substantial and well-tailored. Houndstooth patterning typically signals higher fiber quality and reinforced seam work.

Price check

At £1,395, this is mid-to-premium for a British wool overcoat. Justified by the wool grade and tailoring, though it's a seasonal investment.

Best for

Shoppers wanting a structured, patterned coat for office or formal occasions who will wear it regularly enough to justify the weight and bulk.

Care

Wool coats require dry cleaning or careful hand washing; brush nap before storage to prevent matting and moth damage.

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.
