The verdict

Navy A-2 bomber blends wool body with leather accents; Drake's tailoring is refined, 995 GBP reflects the mixed materials.

Fit

A-2 cut is slightly fitted through the chest with tapered waist and high armholes. Expect a snug, precise fit; wool adds structure, leather adds weight.

Quality

Wool-leather combinations are Drake's hallmark. At 995 GBP expect stable wool, decent leather, and meticulous seaming. The blend is heavy and will soften over years.

Price check

High mid-to-premium. Fair for mixed materials and heritage silhouette; less so if you compare to a pure-leather A-2.

Best for

Vintage aviation enthusiasts and those seeking refined tailoring in a classic military silhouette.

Care

Leather requires periodic conditioning; wool needs brushing. Store separately from rough surfaces.

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.
