After Drake’s · Spring/Summer 2024
Navy Linen Games Blazer Mk. II
The Mk. II Games blazer is the second version of Drake's collegiate-inspired Games jacket, reworked with a stronger workwear accent. It has a peaked notch lapel and five working keyhole buttonholes, so the front can be fastened right up in the way of a work coat. The body is soft, roomy and unlined, with patch pockets throughout. It can be worn on its own as a casual jacket, or with the matching trousers as a relaxed linen suit.

Spence Bryson Faded Navy Irish Linen Waverly Jacket
We chose a faded navy Irish linen from Spence Bryson because it matches the original's solid navy colour, plain weave and textured, washed linen character. We used an uncanvassed, unlined, ventless build with patch pockets and dark brown horn buttons to keep the soft, unstructured feel of the Games jacket. Proper Cloth offers a peak lapel but not the original's peaked notch lapel with five keyhole buttonholes, so we used a two-button peak lapel front. The original's ticket pocket and chevron stitching are not available, so the jacket has three plain patch pockets instead.
A pure Irish linen from Spence Bryson, a mill that has woven linen in Ireland since the eighteenth century. It is a plain weave at about 400 g, washed to a faded navy, with enough body to keep its shape without canvas. It softens with wear and creases into loose folds rather than sharp lines.
