After Drake’s · Autumn/Winter 2022
Grey Wool Flannel Double-Breasted Tailored Jacket
Drake's double-breasted blazer belongs to a long line of relaxed tailoring, where the formality of a crossed front is eased by soft construction. It is cut in the house's closer tailored silhouette from a 10oz Italian wool flannel in charcoal grey, with a natural shoulder, half-canvas construction and a peak lapel with a slight belly. Patch hip pockets, a patch ticket pocket and a barchetta breast pocket keep it on the informal side. It can be worn as a separate or with matching pleated or flat-front trousers, and it was made in Italy.

VBC Charcoal Wool Flannel Downing Jacket
We chose a charcoal merino flannel from Vitale Barberis Canonico because it matches the original's solid colour, brushed surface and all-wool content, and it adds a gently mottled tone. We set a soft half-canvas build, a six-button double-breasted front fastening on four with a peak lapel, patch pockets and dark brown horn buttons to follow the Drake's jacket. The listing does not specify a ticket pocket or barchetta breast pocket, so those details are not assumed, and the cloth is listed as medium heavyweight, where the Drake's flannel is a 10oz mid-weight. The jacket is fully lined in dark grey, with side vents and a striped sleeve lining.
A merino wool flannel woven by Vitale Barberis Canonico in Biella, Italy, with a brushed, slightly fuzzy finish. It is a solid charcoal grey with mottled variation in tone, listed as medium heavyweight and suited to autumn and winter wear.
