The verdict

A wool-linen double-breasted blazer in pinstripe; a versatile tailored piece that reads formal year-round, blending wool's structure with linen's breath.

Fit

Double-breasted tailored cut is close-fitting with a defined waist. Wool-linen blends have less fluid drape than pure linen but more give than pure wool. Size true; the blend eases slightly with wear.

Quality

Wool-linen at this price is high-quality spinning and weaving; expect clean button work and reinforced seams. The blend offers better wear durability than pure linen.

Price check

£1,495 reflects the double-breasted construction and blended-fiber quality. It's premium sartorial pricing, justified if you layer year-round and prefer a tailored silhouette.

Best for

Dressers building a year-round tailored rotation and wanting one double-breasted blazer that transitions across seasons.

Care

Wool-linen blends tolerate gentle machine wash (wool setting); dry flat to avoid stretching.

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.
