After Drake’s · Autumn/Winter 2022
Navy Cotton Linen Games Trousers
Drake's made these trousers to match its Games Blazer, so the two can be worn together as a relaxed suit that sits between tailoring and workwear. The cut follows mid-century trousers, with a high rise just above the hip, a full leg and single pleats, narrowing gently below the knee. Utility details include side adjusters and a hidden fob pocket. They are made in Italy from a light cotton and linen twill and can be worn alone or with the jacket through most of the year.

Navy Linen Palermo Pant
We chose a navy pure linen from Portugal because it comes closest to the original's colour and its dry, open texture in a light summer cloth. We set the trousers with single pleats, belt loops, a button and zip fly and horn-tone buttons to follow the Drake's waist and front. Proper Cloth does not offer side adjusters or a concealed fob pocket, so we used a button-through waist tab and a standard coin pocket in their place, and angled side pockets in place of vertical ones.
A navy linen with nothing else in the blend, woven in Portugal in a plain weave that shows the natural slub of the yarn. Proper Cloth lists it as medium weight. It is soft from the start, breathes well and creases readily as it is worn.
