The verdict

Quirky summer blazer for vintage enthusiasts; games blazer is niche, solid build at this price.

Fit

Games blazers historically sit closer to the body than dress blazers, with higher button stance. Expect narrow chest and shortened sleeves; order carefully or try first.

Quality

Moleskin is textured, durable cotton. At 795 GBP Drake's delivers good stitch count and stable fabric; games blazers are not everyday pieces, so durability is secondary to fit and character.

Price check

Premium for its niche. Fair if you genuinely wear games blazers; otherwise, overpriced for a summer blazer.

Best for

Vintage enthusiasts or someone seeking a distinctive lightweight blazer for styled, not formal, occasions.

Care

Moleskin softens with wear and washing; dry-clean if worried, but the fabric is sturdy enough for gentle machine wash.

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.
