After Drake’s · Autumn/Winter 2022
Green Cotton Corduroy Games Blazer Mk. IV
The Games Blazer Mk. IV belongs to the relaxed end of Drake's tailoring. It sits between a sharp jacket and a casual one, and is cut a little shorter and fuller than the house's traditional tailored coats. This version is made in Italy from a soft, heavy wale cotton corduroy woven by a long-established mill in Yorkshire's Calder Valley. It has no structure or lining, four flapped patch pockets and buttons that can be swapped, and is meant for everyday wear, either alone or with the matching trousers as an informal suit.

Pine Stretch Corduroy Waverly Jacket
We chose a heavyweight Italian corduroy in a deep pine green, the closest solid green wale on offer, to match the olive to dark green of the original and its soft hand. We set the jacket unstructured and unlined, with a three-roll-two notch lapel, flapped patch pockets and dark brown horn buttons. Proper Cloth offers no interchangeable button system, so we fitted fixed horn buttons. The only suitable corduroy contains a little elastane, which we accepted because it is under our tolerance.
A 14-wale corduroy woven in Italy from cotton with 2% elastane, weighing around 426 g. It has a velvety, soft hand and drapes well, with a slight give from the stretch, in a solid pine green suited to cold-weather wear.
