After Drake’s · Autumn/Winter 2022
Navy Harris Tweed Games Blazer Mk. VII
The Mk. VII is a version of Drake's Games blazer, a soft and easy jacket that sits at the relaxed end of tailoring. It is cut a little shorter and fuller than the house's traditional tailored jackets. This series was designed around woollen cloths, so it has a slightly more tailored finish than earlier Games models, with lined sleeves and slanted pockets that follow the barchetta breast pocket of the house block. It is made in Italy from Harris Tweed and is meant for everyday wear in most weather and on most occasions.
In Proper Cloth
Navy Shetland Tweed Andover Jacket
We chose a heavyweight navy Shetland tweed from Abraham Moon because it is the closest Proper Cloth offers to a navy Harris Tweed in weight and character. It is a mottled solid twill rather than a herringbone. We set the jacket to match the Games cut where the options allow: uncanvassed construction, a two-button notch lapel, a ventless back, a partial lining and dark brown horn buttons. Proper Cloth does not offer slanted barchetta-style pockets or removable buttons, so we used patch pockets with flaps and fixed horn buttons.
A dense 100% Shetland wool tweed woven by Abraham Moon in Leeds, at about 370 g. It is a twill in a mottled, tonal navy with a lightly brushed surface, so it reads as a textured solid. It should wear as a sturdy, warm woollen cloth.
