After Drake’s · Spring/Summer 2024
Olive Ripstop Cotton Games Blazer Mk. VIII
The Mk. VIII belongs to Drake's Games series, a family of jackets that sit between proper tailoring and casual wear. It takes its cue from the work clothes of twentieth-century artists and craftsmen, with twin-needle seams, patch pockets and a pen slot at the breast. The cut is boxy, a little shorter and fuller than the house's tailored jackets, and it is meant to be worn easily over shirts and knitwear in most weather and settings.

In Proper Cloth
Khaki High Twist Cotton Sullivan Jacket
We looked for a plain, hard-wearing Italian cotton and settled on a high-twist twill, as Proper Cloth offered no ripstop. Olive was not available in this cloth, so we chose khaki as the nearest earthy neutral. We matched the unstructured, unlined make, the three-roll-two notch lapel, three patch pockets and dark brown horn buttons. The pen slot, ticket pocket and twin-needle seams are not part of Proper Cloth's options and were left out.
A 100% cotton twill woven by Tessuti di Sondrio in Italy from tightly twisted yarns. It is smooth and fairly substantial for a summer cloth, yet the high twist leaves the weave slightly open so it breathes. It drapes cleanly, resists creasing and suits wear from spring into autumn.
