Has anyone tried on the Surf Break Jacket? Reminds me a lot of a specific variant of the Cabourn Aircraft Jacket. I'm just not sure on sizing. I'm a 42 in Drakes blazers, but curious if I might be a 40 in the Surf Breaker.

Curious about the same thing. Also, anybody have any experience specifically with the wordsworth paper cotton suits?
The paper cotton jackets and maybe some other stuff appear to be a Nordstrom collab. The glencheck linen blazer and madras shirt are present season.

I ordered the paper cotton jacket. I can report back when it arrives tomorrow.

Received the paper cotton jacket. Like was stated, appears to be an exclusive but the branding is simply Drake’s. Quality and cut are same as other Drake’s jackets I’ve tried this season, I believe made by Lardini: completely unstructured shoulders, half-canvas, lining only of the arms. The fit is about a half-size to maybe full-size smaller than my linen Glencheck from this season: shorter in arms, tighter in shoulders and chest. Both jackets are in a 40.

Nice. Any pics of the entire sport coat and trousers?

Decided to try out the Games jacket and trousers from Nordstrom. I've been somewhat intrigued by it as a suit, but also as separates and at $466 for the whole thing, it was worth a shot.

Jacket is already packed up for return.

Did not purchase the trousers.

Gotcha. Is it the sizing that has you returning it? And did you find the colouring more on the beige side, or closer to cream as listed on the Nordstrom website?

Yes - glencheck in 40 fits me well. This jacket was too small.

Color is cream, similar to product shots. I guess my shot above makes it seem khaki.

Nordstrom canceled everything by the polo that ordered.
