The verdict

A navy corduroy games blazer at mid-premium pricing; playful fabric and relaxed tailoring work well for informal events, though corduroy is a niche textile.

Fit

Games blazer fit is loose and comfortable—easy to move in and layer. Corduroy's napped texture drapes softly. Navy is neutral enough to wear widely. Size true; the cut is generously proportioned and meant to sit relaxed on the shoulders.

Quality

Corduroy is durable cotton with a soft nap finish. Drake's construction is sound; seaming and hardware are reinforced. Corduroy pilling is common where seams or buttons rub; brushing manages it, but expect some loss of texture with wear.

Price check

Mid-premium pricing reflects the novelty factor and tailored cut rather than the fabric cost. Corduroy is inexpensive to produce; most of the price is Drake's brand and the Games Blazer design. Fair value only if you'll wear it regularly.

Best for

Casual-smart events—garden parties, social gatherings, festivals—where the textured fabric and relaxed cut complement a playful, unstudied tone.

Care

Machine wash warm, tumble-dry low. Brush the nap gently with a soft brush after drying to restore texture. Iron on low heat if needed.

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.
