THE BRAND Drake's was founded in London in 1977 with a single guiding principle: relaxed elegance. What began as a maker of scarves, ties and handkerchiefs has grown into one of Britain's most respected menswear houses, producing soft tailoring in Italy, knitwear in Scotland and shirts in the brand's own factory in Chard, Somerset. Every Drake's piece carries that same unhurried sensibility, built for real life and worn with ease. DETAILS The Drake's Green Waxed Cotton Coverall Jacket is outerwear that earns its place at both ends of the wardrobe. The coverall jacket is one of the most enduring and democratic silhouettes in British outerwear, rooted in the countryside and the working tradition, and Drake's version stays true to that heritage while carrying it with the quiet refinement that defines everything the house produces. The outer is a 100% cotton waxed cloth in a traditional emerald green. A colour with a long history in British outdoor dressing. The wax treatment makes the jacket naturally water-resistant and wind-blocking without requiring any technical lining or membrane, and it gives the cloth a characteristic, slightly lustrous quality that develops its own patina over time. A jacket bought once and worn for years will look better for every season it has accumulated. The check lining in a soft cotton adds an additional layer of warmth and a considered interior detail that rewards the man who opens the jacket and knows what a good lining looks like. The mid-wale corduroy collar tab is the detail that gives the coverall its most distinctive character, adding a contrasting texture that references the British country tradition without making it feel costume. Three outer patch pockets with snap closures provide genuine utility and the two-way zip gives the jacket full versatility in how it is worn, open at the bottom for ease of movement or fully closed against the cold. The generous, straight fit is designed to go over anything from a suit to a heavy knitwear without restriction. Made in Italy.

Over a suit and a tie it adds a country-inflected practicality to a formal outfit that still looks entirely considered. Exactly the right jacket to throw on between the office and the car on a cold, wet morning. Over jeans and a chunky lambswool crewneck or a overshirt it carries the full weight of its workwear and country heritage without any effort. The emerald green sits naturally alongside navy, camel, brown, grey and cream, making it one of the most open-ended outerwear colours in the wardrobe and one that earns its place from the first cold morning of autumn through to the end of a long winter.
