cant say I love seersucker jackets but I'm tempted by the price...

 

[Mariokartfever]

How are people sizing these games Jackets? Specifically the corduroy one. Are you going down a size? Or going TTS and embracing the slouch?

I highly recommend TTS. Imo, the magic of them is that they afford the opportunity to look sharp wearing tailoring while being no less comfortable than wearing something else. I also don’t think that wearing a smaller size will somehow transform the suit into something better looking.

TTS for sure.
I posted fitpic few weeks ago.

I third this! TTS for sure. Sizing down slightly will give a more fitted look but it kinda defeats the purpose of the aesthetic

I'm wearing a Games corduroy suit today (with a very cool Jamieson's Fair Isle).
Size 40/34.

Great look! I've been trying to order one for a while but they are not available in my size. According to Drakes' Customer Service, they are "very sought after". Really like the sweater as well.

Nice that mate. Would experiment with slightly different shade of footwear as looks a bit matchy.

I a agree with you.
This cordo #8 is a bit to close to the brown of the suit.

I bought and returned them last year. I found them uncomfortably tight in the crotch/thigh.

I ended up returning them as well for the same reason. Oh, well!

Also, for the recurring "I'm in the US and prices are way higher here, what's the deal?" posts, it seems like a work-around would be to purchase from a UK store that stocks Drake's online. That way, we'd get the UK prices and have VAT removed (I think). Does anyone know of UK stores that sell Drake's products online and ship internationally?

Thoughts on the private white vc permanent style donegal jacket vs the drakes brown donegal?
