The verdict
Fit
Chore jackets are intentionally roomy; cotton duck is structured so expect a stiffer hand initially, softening over time.
Quality
Cotton duck (canvas) is a workhorse weave; Kennedy by Drake's implies third-party sourcing but maintains Drake's finish standards.
Is the price fair?
545 GBP is reasonable for a navy cotton-duck chore jacket, offering solid value if you want practical, hard-wearing fabric.
Best for
A practical dresser seeking a durable, no-fuss workwear layer that pairs well with casual and utility aesthetics.
Care
Cotton duck is tough; wash warm, air dry, and expect fading and softening with age—this improves the look.
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.
