The verdict

Navy herringbone is the safest games blazer color; Drake's build is solid but niche appeal limits resale.

Fit

Games blazer geometry means narrow shoulders and tight armholes. Try before buying; if it fits, the cut is distinctive and period-correct.

Quality

Herringbone twill is textured and resilient. At 795 GBP Drake's delivers clean seams and proper interfacing; expect it to hold its shape for years.

Price check

Premium for a niche category. Fair if you're collecting vintage patterns; otherwise, pay for novelty over practicality.

Best for

Costume-minded dressers and enthusiasts of vintage Ivy menswear.

Care

Dry-clean to preserve the twist; the herringbone will flatten if machine-washed aggressively.

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.
