After Drake’s · Autumn/Winter 2022
Brown and Green Check Tweed Games Blazer Mk. VII
The Games blazer is Drake's relaxed answer to the tailored jacket, cut a little shorter and fuller than the house's traditional tailoring so that it sits between formal and casual dress. The Mk. VII version of the series was designed around woollen cloths and is slightly more tailored than earlier versions, with lined sleeves and slanted pockets at the hip and chest that recall the Barchetta breast pocket on the house's main jacket pattern. This one is made up in a heavy brown and green check tweed with an unlined body and a soft, natural shoulder. It is intended as an everyday jacket for cold weather.

Brown Houndstooth Italian Flannel Bedford Jacket
We looked for a heavy wool cloth in a small brown houndstooth and chose a brushed flannel from Lanificio Angelico. It keeps the scale and the earthy brown of the original but has a smoother, softer surface than tweed. We matched the unstructured, unlined construction, the two-button notch lapel, the ventless back and the dark horn buttons, and used patch pockets with flaps at the hip. The cloth has no green in it, so the colour is a plain brown rather than the original's mixed check.
A dense 100% wool flannel woven by Lanificio Angelico in Italy, medium to heavy in weight and brushed to a soft, napped finish. The pattern is a medium-contrast houndstooth in several shades of chocolate brown. It is suited to autumn and winter wear.
