After Drake’s · Spring/Summer 2023
Navy Heavy Cotton Twill Games Blazer Mk. I
The Mk. I Games blazer is Drake's casual navy jacket in heavy Italian cotton twill. It takes as much from workwear as from tailoring, with patch pockets, twin-needle seams and an unlined body that recall the work clothes of twentieth-century artists and craftsmen. It is cut shorter and fuller than a conventional tailored jacket, with a boxy body and roomy sleeves. It can be worn alone or with the matching trousers as a relaxed two-piece.

Navy High Twist Cotton Sullivan Jacket
We chose a navy cotton twill from an Italian mill, the nearest solid navy cotton twill available, and set it in Proper Cloth's uncanvassed, unlined construction to keep the soft, unstructured character of the original. We matched the three-roll-two notch lapel, side vents, patch and flap hip pockets and dark brown horn buttons, and added interior travel pockets in place of Drake's twin passport pockets. The cloth is a high-twist suiting rather than a heavy workwear twill, so it is lighter and smoother. The build includes a sleeve lining, which Drake's does not list.
A solid navy twill in 100% cotton, woven by Tessuti di Sondrio in Italy from high-twist yarns. It is medium-heavy, with a smooth, fairly open surface that breathes well, drapes cleanly and resists creasing. It suits spring through autumn.
