After Drake’s · Autumn/Winter 2024
Brown Gun Club Check Tweed Games Blazer Mk. VII
The Games blazer is Drake's softer, more casual take on the sports jacket. It is cut a little shorter and fuller than the house's tailored jackets, so it sits at the relaxed end of formal dress. This Mk. VII version uses a Scottish-style tweed in a gun club check, built without structure, with a natural shoulder and an unlined body. It is meant for everyday wear in town or country, in most weather.

Brown Houndstooth Italian Flannel Bedford Jacket
We looked for a brown, small-scale check in a soft, dense wool and chose a brushed houndstooth flannel from Lanificio Angelico, which comes close to the warmth and tonal brown character of the tweed. We set the jacket to match the Games construction: no canvas, quarter lining, ventless back, patch pockets and dark brown horn buttons. Proper Cloth had no gun club tweed with the green overcheck, so we took a houndstooth in mixed chocolate browns instead. The jacket was made with a two-button front where the original shows a single button.
A dense, medium-heavy 100% wool flannel woven in Italy by Lanificio Angelico and brushed to a very soft hand. It carries a medium-contrast houndstooth in several shades of chocolate brown and suits autumn and winter wear.
