The verdict

A tailored blazer in linen with Prince of Wales check patterning; a patterned take on linen dressing with traditional heft.

Fit

Sartorial tailored fit—trim shoulders, defined waist, close-cut sleeve. Prince of Wales check is a dense pattern; the visual weight can make the body appear broader. Size true.

Quality

Linen check at this price reflects precision in dyeing and weave alignment. Drake's tailoring on checked pieces is meticulous. Wrinkle durability is standard linen.

Price check

£1,495 is premium sartorial pricing; the check pattern and linen fiber justify the cost for those seeking patterned warm-weather tailoring.

Best for

Pattern-forward dressers building a tailored summer wardrobe and accepting linen's relaxed character.

Care

Check patterns may show dye variation after washing; wash cool and line-dry to preserve saturation.

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.
