Does anyone recognize this jacket? I just spotted this on a recent post from Drake's instagram. Perhaps a new wool Game's jacket that has yet to be announced? When I was investigating I also spotted that there is a moleskin games coat up now as well.

I think it's a new Games Blazer. I have a "tailored" Drake's blazer in the same tweed. I'm looking for picture.

@Wim @vegancrabcakes @yungchomsky Many thanks for your answer !

Find it !
Now I prefer Games blazer than "tailored".

Could be worth to email Caine clothiers. Maybe a week ago they had a penty left instore. This could only be an error on the wed site… who knows…


Update here, so no luck, they've told that they failed to meet some deadlines with Jamieson's so the restock will come for next year's Fall/Winter.

Speaking of chore coats... took delivery of the heavy twill chore today. Really substantial cloth.
I had tried a Vetra Chore (wanting to give a more affordable chore jacket a chance, it was 200 €) but nothing clicked: strange big collar, small restricting arms, length just a little too short.

Needless to say, I love the Drake's version. Put it on, instantly comfortable and a wonderful dark navy. But not really something for indoors (which I had originally intended) unless it is pretty cool in the office but great for autumn.

Everytime I buy a chore jacket from a different company I get disappointed after a few days of wear and end up selling them. Usually the collar is weird dimensioned, the jacket is too short, the fabric is too thin, the cut looks off, the buttons are subpar etc.

I have sworn to only buy from Drake's when it comes to chore jackets. Nothing comes close in my opinion.

It is ironic; I tend to seek for an affordable chore jacket but I end up hating it so much I feel like I have just thrown my money into the sea. Never again will I make that mistake. I would rather save my money for something I truly like.

Pretty fun read of their Games tailoring

I hope that they re-release the Mk. II in the near future, the ripstop version they once sold in olive, sand and navy was an incredible piece.
