Brand: Drake's
SKU: drakes-navy-velvet-double-breasted-blazer
Price: 1595 GBP

Jackets & Outerwear

£1,595

The verdict

Navy velvet double-breasted at luxury pricing; less bold than green, but still commands a premium for fabric and tailoring.

Fit

Double-breasted tailoring sits close; velvet's weight and hand feel different from wool, so expect a stiffer drape initially.

Quality

Drake's velvet blazers are well-finished; seams and buttonholes are clean, but velvet is inherently high-maintenance fabric.

Price check

1,595 GBP is premium but reasonable for a tailored double-breasted velvet blazer from a prestige house.

Best for

Someone who dresses formally and wants a distinctive evening or special-occasion piece that stands apart from standard navy blazers.

Care

Professional dry cleaning mandatory; velvet crushes easily, so avoid sitting in wrinkled positions and store carefully.

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.
