Brand: Drake's
SKU: drakes-tobacco-raw-suede-overshirt
Price: 1195 GBP

Jackets & Outerwear

£1,195

The verdict

A suede overshirt at the premium end—expect supple hand and substantial weight, but suede-specific care demands.

Fit

Overshirts cut looser than blazers, designed to layer. Raw suede is unlined and soft; fit will be relaxed and drapey. Drake's overshirt proportions are generous.

Quality

Raw suede is less durable than treated leather but softer and more comfortable. Drake's suede items are hand-finished. This is a luxury piece by material.

Price check

GBP 1,195 reflects the suede material and Drake's reputation. Premium pricing for an unlined suede jacket—fair for the maker, but a significant commitment.

Best for

The experienced suede wearer who wants a seasonal tobacco overshirt from a respected British maker and accepts suede care requirements.

Care

Suede requires brushing after wear and professional suede cleaning when soiled. Avoid water and high heat.

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.
