The verdict

Moleskin is softer and more durable than plain twill—tobacco adds warmth to the casual blazer line.

Fit

Mk. I games blazer in moleskin, which has a subtle nap and soft hand. Moleskin cuts cleanly and holds edges well. Tobacco pairs with neutrals easily. UK fit.

Quality

Moleskin is traditionally hard-wearing and improves with wear. The nap adds a tactile dimension beyond standard twill. Drake's Mk. I construction is foundational.

Price check

GBP 795 is fair for moleskin upgrade over plain twill. Moleskin is slightly rarer than basic cotton, justifying the price.

Best for

The person who values tactile quality and wants a warm-toned casual blazer that ages gracefully.

Care

Dry-clean or hand-wash; moleskin nap responds well to light brushing to maintain the finish.

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.
