After Drake’s · Autumn/Winter 2023
Brown Houndstooth Check Harris Tweed Games Blazer Mk. VII
The Mk. VII Games blazer is Drake's softer, more relaxed take on the sports jacket, cut a little shorter and fuller than the house's traditional tailoring. This version was developed with woollen cloths in mind and is made up here in a brown houndstooth Harris Tweed from Scotland. It has an unstructured body, and its slanted chest and hip pockets come from the Barchetta pocket on Drake's house pattern. It sits at the easier end of tailored dress and suits everyday wear in cool weather.

Brown Houndstooth Italian Flannel Bedford Jacket
We chose a brushed brown houndstooth wool flannel from Lanificio Angelico because it has a small check and warm brown tones close to the original's. No Harris Tweed was available, so the cloth is softer and smoother than the rough tweed. We matched the two-button notch lapel, the unlined, unstructured build, the ventless back and the dark brown horn buttons. Proper Cloth does not offer slanted Barchetta-style pockets, so we used patch pockets with flaps at the hip.
A dense 100% wool flannel woven by the Italian mill Lanificio Angelico and brushed to a very soft, slightly fuzzy finish. It is a medium-heavy cloth for autumn and winter, woven in a medium-contrast houndstooth of several chocolate browns.
