After Drake’s · Autumn/Winter 2024
Drake's by A. Levine Black Cotton Games Blazer Mk. II
The Mk. II Games blazer, made with A. Levine, follows the earlier collegiate Games model but takes more from workwear. It is cut in heavy black cotton twill woven in Yorkshire, with a soft, roomy shape, no lining and patch pockets edged in chevron stitching. A peaked notch lapel with working keyhole buttonholes lets it fasten all the way up on five buttons, like an old work jacket. It is meant to be washed and worn hard, and can be paired with the matching Games trousers as a relaxed suit.

Black High Twist Cotton Sullivan Jacket
We chose a solid black cotton twill from Tessuti di Sondrio to match the original's colour and weave in an all-cotton cloth, though it is lighter and smoother than the Yorkshire twill. We set an uncanvassed, unlined, ventless build with peak lapels and three patch pockets to keep the soft, casual shape. Proper Cloth offers no five-button full fastening with keyhole lapel buttonholes and no chevron-stitched or ticket pockets, so we chose a two-button peak-lapel front and plain patch pockets. Faux horn buttons and traveller interior pockets stand in for the original's horn buttons and passport pockets.
A solid black twill in 100% high-twist cotton, woven by the Italian mill Tessuti di Sondrio. It is medium heavy, with a smooth surface, a clean drape and some natural resistance to creasing, and the tightly twisted yarns give a slightly open weave that breathes well from spring to autumn.
