Green Waxed Coverall Jacket
The verdict
Fit
Loose, utilitarian fit designed for maximum movement and heavy layering. Waxed cotton is stiff and holds structure rigidly when new. Size true or a half-size up if planning significant layering underneath.
Quality
Waxed cotton is durable and weather-resistant, but the wax coating is high-maintenance and will patina unevenly with regular wear. Drake's seaming is solid, but the fabric's character dominates. Not a casual, refined piece.
Price check
Mid-premium pricing is reasonable for waxed cotton workwear, though green adds a small novelty premium over navy. The maintenance burden and limited versatility mean true value depends on actual weather-work use, not casual styling.
Best for
Outdoor labour, gardening, or construction—situations where weather protection and durability matter far more than polished aesthetics or easy layering with street clothes.
Care
Wipe clean with a damp cloth; re-wax periodically as the coating wears. Avoid machine washing, which degrades water-resistance.

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.
