Olive Ripstop Cotton Games Blazer Mk. VIII
The verdict
Fit
Ripstop cotton is crisp and structured; games cut is loose. Olive is a strong color. True to size.
Quality
Ripstop is durable cotton, properly finished by Drake's. The fabric will soften and wrinkle naturally.
Price check
Mid-premium for a cotton blazer with Drake's standards. Honest pricing for the cloth and tailoring.
Best for
Men seeking a textured summer or travel layer that's more durable than linen.
Care
Wash cool; ripstop cotton will soften with wear.

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.
