The verdict

A formal velvet blazer at luxury pricing; striking and uncompromising, best for those ready to wear bold tailoring.

Fit

Double-breasted velvet blazers fit closer than single-breasted; Drake's tailoring is precise, but velvet shows every wrinkle.

Quality

Velvet is technically demanding to cut and finish; Drake's experience shows in the construction, but fabric is delicate.

Price check

1,595 GBP is justified for a double-breasted velvet blazer from a London house, though you are purchasing statement and prestige.

Best for

A formal wearer with strong style who attends events where a silk velvet blazer reads as sophisticated, not costume.

Care

Velvet blazers require professional dry cleaning and careful brushing in the direction of the nap; store flat or hanging loosely.

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.
