Navy Waxed Coverall Jacket
The verdict
Fit
Coverall jacket fit is loose and generous—designed to fit over heavy layers and allow maximum freedom of movement. Waxed cotton is stiff initially. Size true or a half-size up if planning heavy layering underneath.
Quality
Waxed cotton is weather-resistant and durable, but the wax coating will wear unevenly and requires periodic re-waxing to maintain water-resistance. Drake's construction is solid, but the fabric dominates the piece's character.
Price check
Mid-premium pricing is fair for waxed cotton workwear, but the coating maintenance and limited styling flexibility put it at the premium end of the value spectrum. Best justified if weather protection and durability are genuine needs.
Best for
Outdoor work and weather-exposed activities—gardening, construction, yard maintenance—where water-resistance and durability are the priority over aesthetics.
Care
Wipe clean with a damp cloth; re-wax annually or when water resistance diminishes. Machine washing degrades the wax coat; avoid if possible.

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.
