The verdict

A suede A-2 bomber in an unusual color; a statement piece for style-conscious buyers who'll treat suede carefully.

Fit

A-2 bombers are cut close through the shoulders and chest with a cropped, tapered length. Suede can feel stiffer than leather—true to size for a fitted silhouette.

Quality

Heavyweight suede is soft and supple but requires discipline in care. Drake's A-2 construction is authentic to the silhouette with solid hardware.

Price check

At £1,495, this is premium for a bomber. Heavyweight suede and Drake's craft justify the cost, but the green color limits versatility.

Best for

Style-forward shoppers seeking a distinctive suede jacket for mild-weather layering who are committed to suede maintenance.

Care

Heavyweight suede is delicate; brush regularly, avoid water, and use professional cleaning. Store flat or on a padded hanger to prevent stretching.

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.
