Navy Linen Double-Breasted Tailored Jacket

Drake's navy linen jacket is a double-breasted blazer built on the house's closer tailored cut, a little trimmer than its Games tailoring. It follows the long tradition of the navy double-breasted blazer and keeps it relaxed, with a soft natural shoulder and half-canvas construction. A textured linen cloth, patch hip pockets and dark horn buttons make it suited to warm weather and to being worn casually as well as with tailored trousers. It is made in Italy.

Spence Bryson Faded Navy Irish Linen Waverly Jacket

We chose a solid navy Irish linen from Spence Bryson to match the original's plain navy linen and its visibly textured surface. We set a six-button double-breasted front with peak lapels, soft half-canvas construction, patch pockets, side vents, four-button kissing cuffs and dark brown horn buttons to follow Drake's details. Proper Cloth's cloth is washed to a faded navy and is heavier than the original's midweight linen, so the colour is softer and the jacket has more body. The order does not specify a barchetta breast pocket or a patch ticket pocket, so those features may differ.

The cloth is a washed plain-weave Irish linen from Spence Bryson, a mill that has woven linen in Ireland since the eighteenth century. It weighs about 400 g, which gives it a substantial, dry hand and enough body to keep its shape. Its colour is a solid faded navy, and it softens with wear, settling into loose folds rather than sharp creases.
