The verdict
Fit
Washed red reads deeper and more muted than bright red; the hiking cut is loose for layering and mobility. Expect comfortable, easy sizing without fitted waist suppression.
Quality
Cotton-corduroy construction develops subtle character with wear. Drake's attention to seaming and hardware ensures durability for genuine outdoor use.
Is the price fair?
GBP 695 is Drake's standard jacket price. Fair value for a colored outdoor piece from a house with legitimate construction pedigree.
Best for
An outdoors-active dresser who wants a hiking jacket in a distinctive color and doesn't mind paying heritage-house positioning for built-to-last materials.
Care
Wash cool to preserve the washed-red tone; line-dry when possible to maintain color depth and reduce shrinkage.
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.
