The verdict

A step up in material and formality—linen adds seasonal freshness, though it wrinkles by design.

Fit

Double-breasted cut will appear broader through the chest. Games Mk. III style suggests a more tailored silhouette than the basic games blazer. Expect UK fitting.

Quality

Linen construction elevates Drake's games line. Linen is durable and softens with wear, though it creases readily. Mk. III implies a refined version of their casual blazer.

Price check

GBP 895 is justified by the linen upgrade and double-breasted detailing. Fair pricing for the material and maker's tier.

Best for

Someone wanting a warm-season casual blazer that signals more intention than basic cotton, from a trusted British house.

Care

Dry-clean or hand-wash gently; linen creases are part of its character but respond well to light pressing.

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.
