Gun Club Check Tweed Blazer

Drake's · £1,195

A brown gun club check tweed blazer, shown from the front.

Nice, but provisional

A gun club check in Yorkshire tweed, cut on Drake's closer tailored line rather than the relaxed Games block. The cloth is the draw and the pattern is the risk: a gun club check is a strong statement that will date faster than a plain jacket, and at £1,195 you are buying something you must want specifically. The closer cut also makes it less useful over a jumper than the Games blazers.

For
Someone who already owns plain jackets and wants one with a pattern worth looking at.
Not for
Anyone buying their first good jacket, where a check narrows what it goes with.

What we checked

  • The tweed was commissioned in Yorkshire and the jacket uses Drake's closer tailored fit. Drake's

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.
