The verdict

A vintage-coloured linen games blazer at mid-tier pricing; fun and functional, though a specialty piece, not essential.

Fit

Games blazers are compact and close-fitting for active wear; antique linen softens the fit and adds a relaxed texture.

Quality

Linen is durable and improves with age; Drake's finish on games blazers is solid, though the fabric is inherently casual.

Price check

795 GBP is fair for a tailored linen games blazer from Drake's, representing good value for a heritage specialty piece.

Best for

A styled, adventurous dresser who attends sporting events or summery formal occasions and wants a textured, distinctive blazer.

Care

Linen games blazers soften and wrinkle with wear—wash cool, hang dry, and enjoy the patina that develops.

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.
