Games Blazer Mk. I, Cotton Corduroy

Drake's · £795

A navy cotton corduroy blazer with patch pockets, shown from the front.

Worth being NRY provisional

An unstructured 3-roll-2 blazer in cotton corduroy, cut shorter and fuller than a tailored jacket so it works over a knit and with jeans. Unstructured means no shoulder padding and no stiff canvas, which is why it wears like a cardigan and packs like one. At £795 this is the jacket that gets worn, rather than the one that hangs up waiting for an occasion.

For
Someone who wants one jacket for the office, the pub and a Saturday, and does not want to look suited.
Not for
Anyone needing genuine formality, where an unstructured patch-pocket blazer is too casual.

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
