After Drake’s · Autumn/Winter 2024
Brown and Green Gun Club Check Tweed Games Blazer Mk. VII
The Games blazer is Drake's softer kind of tailored jacket. It sits between a sharp sports coat and something more casual. It is cut a little shorter and fuller than the house's traditional tailoring, with an unstructured body and a natural shoulder, so it can be worn every day without fuss. This Mk. VII is made in a Scottish wool tweed with a gun club check in olive and brown, and it is meant to be worn as easily with knitwear as with a shirt and tie.

Drago Forest Glen Plaid Flannel Bedford Jacket
We chose a soft wool flannel by Drago because it is close to the original in weight and keeps the colour in the green family, but Proper Cloth had no gun club check tweed to match. So we went for a glen plaid in forest green rather than the brown and olive check. To keep the easy, soft character of the original, we chose an uncanvassed, unlined build with a two-button front, notch lapels, flap patch pockets, a ventless back and dark brown horn buttons. The sleeves are lined, as on the original, but with a striped sleeve lining.
This is a flannel from the Italian mill Drago, woven from Super 130s merino wool at 330 grams. It has a brushed, smooth hand that is fairly heavy for its type. The pattern is a forest green glen plaid with navy and small touches of yellow. Its soft surface and drape make for a warm jacket that sits naturally on the body.
