After Drake’s · Spring/Summer 2025
Navy Antique Linen Games Blazer Mk. I
The Games Blazer Mk. I is Drake's soft, informal jacket, built to sit between proper tailoring and something looser. It takes as much from workwear as from the tailor's trade, recalling the plain working jackets of twentieth-century artists and craftsmen. The cut is a little shorter and fuller than a conventional jacket, with a boxy body, roomy sleeves and no lining. In navy washed linen it can be worn alone or with matching trousers as a relaxed two-piece.

Spence Bryson Faded Navy Irish Linen Waverly Jacket
We chose a faded navy washed Irish linen from Spence Bryson, as it is the closest match to the original's solid navy and soft, washed surface. We built the jacket without canvas and without a body lining to keep the loose, unstructured character, and set a 3-roll-2 notch lapel, patch and flap pockets, dark brown horn buttons and traveller's interior pockets to follow the original. Proper Cloth's build adds side vents and lines the sleeves with a striped lining, and the cloth it offers is heavier than Drake's, so we accepted those differences.
A pure linen plain weave from Spence Bryson, a mill that has woven linen in Ireland since the eighteenth century, in a faded, washed navy. It is a heavy linen with enough body to hold its shape without interfacing. It softens with wear and settles into loose folds rather than sharp creases.
