After Drake’s · Spring/Summer 2024
Stone Wash Denim Games Trousers
Drake's cut these trousers as the partner to its Games Blazer, so that the two can be worn together as an informal suit that sits between tailoring and workwear. The shape looks back to mid-century trousers: a high rise that sits just above the hip, a single pleat, and a full leg that narrows gently below the knee. Side adjusters, belt loops and a concealed fob pocket give them a practical character. They are made in Italy from a washed cotton and hemp denim and are intended for everyday wear in any season.

Dean Stretch Vintage Straight Jean in Japanese Raw Denim
We took Proper Cloth's Japanese raw stretch denim because it is the closest indigo twill available, and we cut it as a chino rather than a jean so that the trousers keep a tailored shape. We set single pleats, a zip fly, belt loops, vertical side seam pockets, dark charcoal horn buttons and a buttoned flap back pocket to follow the original. Proper Cloth does not offer side adjusters or a concealed fob pocket, so we used belt loops alone and a standard coin pocket. The cloth comes unwashed, so it starts darker and stiffer than the stone-washed original and will fade with wear instead.
An unsanforised Japanese raw denim of about 12oz in a solid deep indigo twill, made of 98% cotton with 2% elastane. It is sold stiff and unwashed, will shrink a little at the first soak, and fades over time where the trousers crease and rub. Until it has been washed a few times, the indigo can rub off onto pale fabrics.
