The verdict
Fit
Games cut, so higher rise and fuller through hip and thigh. Herringbone twill is crisp and textured; silhouette will be relaxed and roomy.
Quality
Herringbone twill is durable and resists wrinkles; Drake's games trousers hold their shape through casual wear.
Is the price fair?
Mid-premium pricing for a patterned casual trouser; justified by weave structure and brand.
Best for
The casual dresser wanting a navy with texture and workwear-adjacent styling.
Care
Machine wash and air dry; herringbone cotton softens with washing.
What owners report about Drake's pants
Reviewers describe Drake's trousers as cleanly made in Italy, with neat machine sewing, good hardware and small reinforcement points — a step above high-street make, though only marginally different from comparable trousers at the price. Fit is the recurring topic: rises run high and the cuts differ substantially between styles, with the wider high-waisted models sitting so far up that some owners only wear them with knitwear over the top or find them hard to wear with a tucked-in shirt. Forum owners lean on the side adjusters to dial in the waist, and note the range of fabrics and colours rotates often, so a favourite cloth may not come back.
- Strengths
- Tidy, well-finished Italian construction and characterful fabrics that reviewers rate clearly above high-street make.
- Watch out for
- Style-to-style fit swings are large — the very high-rise wide cuts divide owners — and the fast-rotating range means specific fabrics and colours disappear.
- Sizing
- Rises are high across the range and the wider Games-style cuts fit very differently from the flat-front chinos, so check each style's own measurements and expect to use the side adjusters for waist leeway.
