Cocoa Heavy Cotton Twill Games Trousers

Drake's cut these trousers as the partner to its Games Blazer, so that the two can be worn together as a relaxed suit somewhere between tailoring and workwear. The shape looks back to the mid-century, with a high waist that sits just above the hip, single pleats and a full leg that narrows gently below the knee. Side adjusters, belt loops and a hidden fob pocket give them a practical character. They can be worn with the matching jacket or on their own through most of the year.

Di Sondrio Walnut Stretch Chino

We chose a solid walnut brown twill from Tessuti di Sondrio because it is the closest Proper Cloth cotton to the cocoa colour and plain, sturdy surface of the original. We kept the single pleats, zip fly with button fastening, belt loops and a coin pocket to stand in for the concealed fob pocket, and finished it with chestnut horn buttons to match the dark horn-tone fastening. Proper Cloth's chino build does not include side adjusters or the same high-rise waistband, so the waist relies on belt loops and its standard chino waistband, and side seam pockets take the place of the vertical front pockets. The cloth has a small amount of elastane, which is within our tolerances.

A medium-heavy cotton twill woven in Italy by Tessuti di Sondrio, with 2% elastane for a little give. It comes in a plain, warm walnut brown with a smooth, firm surface, and it is meant to wear in all four seasons as an everyday chino cloth.
