The verdict
Fit
Hiking jackets from this house typically cut looser for freedom of movement. Washed olive is a muted, earthy tone; it reads casual rather than formal. Expect comfortable, not-fitted sizing.
Quality
Cotton construction (with corduroy notes) develops patina with wear. Drake's finishing is careful; stress points should hold for years of genuine use.
Is the price fair?
At GBP 695, this sits at standard Drake's jacket pricing. Fair value for an outdoor-minded piece from a house with real construction standards.
Best for
An outdoors-inclined dresser who wants a hiking jacket that doesn't read as technical gear and accepts the aesthetic and function merge in one garment.
Care
Wash cool and tumble dry gently; washed finishes soften further with heat, so air-drying preserves the worn-in character longer.
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.
