The verdict

Same quality and construction as the corn variant; the russet colorway suits warmer undertones and deeper seasonal palettes.

Fit

Games blazer fit: slim, short, and nipped—designed for a tailored silhouette. Sizing likely runs true to traditional British tailoring.

Quality

Cotton corduroy construction at Drake's standard; expect careful seaming and quality lining typical of the brand's tailored pieces.

Price check

795 GBP places this in luxury territory. Value depends entirely on how much you prize the Games silhouette and Drake's reputation versus more accessible corduroy alternatives.

Best for

Those with a developed taste for tailored, unconventional fabrics and a budget for heritage British sportswear.

Care

Corduroy ages best with minimal washing and regular soft brushing to keep the nap smooth and color-rich.

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.
