The verdict

A navy-ecru striped linen games blazer in the refined Mk. IV; classic stripe pairing for someone seeking a structured warm-weather tailored piece.

Fit

Games blazer tailoring runs close-cut and neat. Navy-ecru stripe creates strong visual definition; choose your size off measured chest, as the stripe will read tighter than solid fabric.

Quality

Oxford linen construction is durable and settles in softly with wear. Drake's linen pieces benefit from the house's decades of refinement in this fiber.

Price check

GBP 895 reflects design maturity and linen quality from a heritage house. Fair for a durable warm-season tailored piece, not for economy-conscious shopping.

Best for

A measured dresser in warm climates who owns tailored pieces and appreciates classic stripe pairings that don't fade quickly.

Care

Machine wash gentle or hand wash, lay flat to dry, and cool-iron to manage the inherent wrinkling of quality linen.

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.
