The verdict

Buy if you want a relaxed, textured summer blazer from a British maker with genuine construction standards.

Fit

Games blazers are cut generous through the body and shoulder for casual, unstructured wear. Expect a looser, boxier silhouette than business tailoring; run true to size.

Quality

Drake's uses quality linens and full construction—proper seams and hems—typical of their mainline. At this price, durability is solid for daily wear if cared for.

Price check

Fair for premium British dressing. The Games Blazer line commands a brand and fabric premium; not a bargain, but you get what you pay for.

Best for

Men who dress with intention and want a summer layer that bridges casual and refined.

Care

Linen wrinkles by design; dry-clean or gentle wash to preserve the finish.

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.
