After Drake’s · Spring/Summer 2022
Navy Herringbone Cotton Games Blazer Mk. I
The Games Blazer Mk. I is an unlined cotton jacket that borrows as much from workwear as from tailoring. It is cut shorter and fuller than a conventional tailored jacket, with a boxy, unstructured body, a 3-roll-2 front and a generous sleeve. Twin needle seams and patch pockets recall the working dress of twentieth century artists and craftsmen. It is meant for everyday wear, alone or with matching trousers as a relaxed two-piece suit.

Navy High Twist Cotton Sullivan Jacket
We chose a navy high-twist cotton twill from Tessuti di Sondrio, a mill in the same Valtellina valley as the source of Drake's cloth, to keep the dark colour and dry cotton handle. Proper Cloth had no matching navy cotton herringbone, so we accepted a plain twill and lost the fine broken pattern. We set the jacket as uncanvassed and unlined, with a 3-roll-2 notch lapel, patch and flap hip pockets, side vents, dark brown horn buttons and traveller interior pockets to match the original's construction.
A solid navy twill in 100% high-twist cotton, woven in Italy by Tessuti di Sondrio and described as medium heavyweight. The tightly twisted yarns give a smooth surface, a slightly open weave that breathes, a clean drape and some natural resistance to creasing, which suits it to spring through autumn.
