After Drake’s · Spring/Summer 2025
Olive Antique Linen Games Blazer Mk. I
The Games blazer is Drake's take on the soft jacket, and it sits at the relaxed end of tailoring. The Mk. I takes as much from workwear as from the tailor's cutting room: it is boxy and unstructured, with a 3-roll-2 front, patch pockets and twin needle seams that recall the working jackets of twentieth-century artists and craftsmen. This version is cut in an olive Irish linen with a washed finish and made in Italy. It is cut a little shorter and fuller than a conventional jacket, and it is meant to be worn alone or with the matching trousers as a loose, informal suit.

Drago Sage Wool and Linen Hopsack Bedford Jacket
We looked for a plain green cloth of similar weight that would hold an unlined, unstructured build, and chose a linen and wool hopsack from Drago, at 270 g against the original's roughly 268 g. We kept the 3-roll-2 notch lapel, patch and flap hip pockets, dark horn buttons, unlined body and uncanvassed construction, and added interior travel pockets in place of the passport pockets. Proper Cloth offers no washed pure linen in this olive, so we accepted a slightly paler sage and a smoother, blended cloth. The silhouette is set by the fit chosen at order rather than by a fixed boxy block.
A medium-weight hopsack of 60% linen and 40% wool from Drago, a family-run mill in Biella, at about 270 g. It is a soft sage green with gentle, low-contrast variation in tone, and the linen slub shows only faintly. The wool gives it a smoother hand and more resistance to creasing than pure linen, while the open weave keeps it breathable.
