After Drake’s · Spring/Summer 2024
Ecru Linen Games Trousers
Drake's Games Trousers take their shape from mid-century sporting and leisure trousers, with a high rise that sits just above the hip and a full leg that narrows gently below the knee. Single forward pleats give room to move, while side adjusters, belt loops and a concealed fob pocket keep a practical, utilitarian side to the design. Cut in a lightweight ecru linen and made in Italy, they can be worn alone or with the matching blazer as a relaxed two-piece.

Portuguese Ivory Linen Palermo Pant
We chose an ivory plain-weave linen woven in Portugal, as it comes closest to the pale, undyed tone and natural slub of the ecru original. We set single pleats, belt loops, a zip fly and a plain hem to follow the Drake's trouser, with pockets at the side seams in place of its vertical side pockets. Proper Cloth's options did not offer side adjusters or a concealed fob pocket, so we used belt loops alone and a standard coin pocket, and we took light brown horn buttons where the original has mother of pearl.
A 100% linen in a plain weave, woven in Portugal, in a solid ivory. It is listed as medium weight, though it has a soft, broken-in hand and a visible natural texture, and it creases readily with wear in the way linen does.
