After Drake’s · Spring/Summer 2022
Mid Brown Prince of Wales Check Tweed Blazer
Drake's single-breasted blazer is cut from a sturdy Yorkshire tweed woven in a Prince of Wales check. The pattern is also known as the Glenurquhart estate check and has long been tied to the British royal family. The jacket is made in Italy with a soft, unlined, half-canvas build and a closer cut than the house's Games tailoring. It is designed to sit between country dress and town clothes.

In Proper Cloth
Angelico Brown Glen Plaid Italian Wool Flannel
We chose a brushed wool flannel from Lanificio Angelico in a brown glen plaid. It is the closest Proper Cloth cloth to the original's check, though it reads as a softer, more tonal version of the camel, brown and black tweed. We matched the build: soft half-canvas, unlined, a three-roll-two notch lapel, patch pockets and dark brown horn buttons. Proper Cloth's sleeves come with working buttons, so we set four kissing buttons in place of the three-button sham cuff.
The cloth is a dense, all-wool flannel from Lanificio Angelico, an Italian mill founded in the 1950s. It weighs about 320 grams and is brushed to a soft, smooth hand. The brown glen plaid is tonal, so the jacket goes with both plain and patterned clothes, and it is suited to autumn and winter.
