The verdict

Waxed cotton barn jacket is utility wear done well; Drake's finish is clean, 895 GBP is reasonable for waxed cotton.

Fit

Barn jacket cut is loose and practical with high armholes and a straight hem. Expect roominess for work and layering; corduroy at sleeves adds texture.

Quality

Waxed cotton develops character over time. At 895 GBP Drake's delivers even waxing, stable seaming, and thoughtful pocket placement. The garment improves with wear.

Price check

Mid-to-high premium for waxed cotton. Fair if you see this as a multi-year investment; steep if you view it as casual workwear.

Best for

Gardeners, outdoor enthusiasts, and those seeking a weather-resistant piece that aged gracefully.

Care

Waxed fabric develops a patina; re-wax patches as needed. Avoid high heat and washing; spot-clean instead.

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.
