Jackets & Outerwear

The verdict

A linen tailored jacket at premium pricing; summer-weight but demanding in styling, ideal only for warm climates.

Fit

Double-breasted tailored jackets fit close; linen is naturally relaxed, so expect a softer shoulder line and wrinkled appearance.

Quality

Linen tailoring is technically tricky because the fabric wants to wrinkle; Drake's precision shows through, though perfection is not the goal.

Price check

1,395 GBP for a linen tailored jacket is high, but Drake's work in sourcing and finishing linen justifies the premium.

Best for

A warm-weather dresser with a strong sense of style who wants a layering piece for formal summer occasions and accepts wrinkles.

Care

Linen blazers wrinkle and soften naturally; cool wash, hang dry, and re-press if desired before wearing.

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.
