After Drake’s · Autumn/Winter 2026

Grey Moleskin Twill Games Trousers

Drake's cut these games trousers as the partner to its Games Blazer, so that the two can be worn together as a relaxed suit that sits between tailoring and workwear. The shape looks back to the middle of the last century, with a high rise that sits just above the hip, a full leg and single pleats, narrowing gently below the knee. Side adjusters, belt loops and a concealed fob pocket carry the practical side of the design. They are made in Italy from a heavy cotton moleskin twill and suit wear in every season, with or without the matching jacket.

Single Pleated Di Sondrio Grey Stretch Cotton Chino

We chose a solid grey cotton twill from Tessuti di Sondrio as the nearest available match for the colour and the plain, sturdy surface of the original, since Proper Cloth did not offer a comparable moleskin. We set single pleats, belt loops, a zip fly, charcoal horn buttons, a flap back pocket and a plain hem to follow the Drake's details. Proper Cloth has no side adjusters or concealed fob pocket, so we used belt loops with a button-through tab and a standard coin pocket in their place.

A solid grey cotton twill woven in Italy by Tessuti di Sondrio, of medium heavy weight, with 2% elastane for some give. It has a smooth, firm hand and the structure of a standard chino cloth, and the small amount of stretch helps it keep its shape in wear.
