The verdict
Fit
Mk. I is the classic games-blazer cut. Heavy cotton will have more body and structure than standard twill. UK proportions throughout.
Quality
Heavy cotton twill is more resistant to wear and thinning than lightweight versions, a genuine upgrade in longevity. Drake's standard seaming and finish.
Is the price fair?
GBP 795 is the same price as regular twill, so upgrading to heavy cotton at no extra cost is a small win for durability.
Best for
The wearer who plans to use a blazer frequently and wants it to hold up over seasons without thinning.
Care
Dry-clean or hand-wash; heavy cotton holds its shape better and needs less frequent pressing than lighter weights.
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.
