The verdict
Fit
Fatigue fit mirrors typical workwear—roomy through body and sleeves, unstructured shoulders. Indigo stripe is classic and durable. Drake's cut runs true; expect ample ease.
Quality
Indigo cotton from Drake's is traditionally dyed and substantial. Fatigue construction is robust—reinforced seams, functional details. This is made to work, not just styled as such.
Is the price fair?
At 595 GBP, pricing reflects British heritage textiles and genuine workwear tailoring. Fair for the category, not an entry price.
Best for
Men who prefer authentic workwear proportions and want indigo dye development with wear.
Care
Wash separately initially to prevent indigo bleeding; cool water extends color depth.
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.
