The verdict

A double-breasted blazer in rare ramie-Canapa blend; a statement fabricfor collectors, but the plant fibers add weight and stiffness without warmth.

Fit

Double-breasted tailored construction sits close to the body. Ramie-Canapa blends are heavier and stiffer than linen or cotton; expect less fluidity in the drape. True to size.

Quality

Ramie-Canapa blends are uncommon at retail; Drake's is using specialty spinning. Durability is strong, but the heavy hand and low give mean this reads more formal and less relaxed than linen.

Price check

£1,495 for a double-breasted blazer in rare-fiber blends is specialist pricing; you're paying for design novelty and fiber scarcity.

Best for

Tailoring connoisseurs fascinated by historic plant fibers and willing to sacrifice comfort for uniqueness.

Care

Ramie-Canapa requires dry cleaning; the heavy hand and tight weave resist home care.

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.
