After Drake’s · Autumn/Winter 2025
Brown Cotton Twill Western Games Blazer
The Western Games Blazer takes its cue from the tailoring of the American frontier and translates it into a soft, workwear-minded sports coat. It is cut in Italy from a Japanese satin-back cotton twill of the kind once used for military uniforms, with western-shaped patch pockets and a throat latch at the collar. The buttons pass through embroidered eyelets and can be removed, a nod to early work clothing whose hardware was taken off before heavy washing. Unlined and unstructured, it is intended as a hard-wearing jacket for casual dress.

Khaki High Twist Cotton Sullivan Jacket
We chose a solid cotton twill of comparable weight from an Italian mill, keeping the Drake's jacket's plain cotton character but in a khaki shade, as no closer brown was used here. We matched the build: uncanvassed, unlined, ventless, with a 3-roll-2 notch lapel and three outer patch pockets. Proper Cloth offers neither western-shaped pockets, a throat latch nor removable pin buttons, so we used plain patch pockets and dark brown horn buttons sewn on in the usual way.
A 100% cotton twill woven by Tessuti di Sondrio in northern Italy from tightly twisted yarns, in a medium-heavy weight. It has a smooth face, a clean drape and some natural resistance to creasing, and the high-twist yarn lets it breathe better than a dense twill, which makes it most comfortable from spring to autumn. The colour is a plain solid khaki.
