After Drake’s · Spring/Summer 2025
Olive Antique Linen Games Trousers
Drake's made these trousers as the partner to its Games Blazer, so that the two can be worn together as a loose suit somewhere between tailoring and workwear. The cut follows a mid-century line, with a high rise that sits just above the hip, a full leg with single pleats, and a slight taper below the knee. Side adjusters and a concealed fob pocket give it a practical, utilitarian character. The cloth is a washed Irish linen of 7.9oz, made up in Italy, and is meant for wear through most of the year.

Laurel Linen Palermo Pant
We chose a solid plain-weave linen in a faded green as the closest match to the olive of the original, and its soft, worn-in hand stands in for the washed feel of the Irish cloth. We kept the single pleats, zip fly, belt loops, vertical side seam pockets and dark horn buttons. Proper Cloth's chino pattern has no side adjusters or concealed fob pocket, so we used belt loops alone, a standard coin pocket and an angled flap back pocket instead.
A 100% linen plain weave from Portugal, listed as medium weight, in a faded laurel green. Its hand is soft, as though already washed, the open weave shows the natural slub of the fibre, and it creases readily with wear.
