Straddling the half-world between super sharp and slouchy, our Games blazers are cut with ease to make sure they sit at the more relaxed end of the formal spectrum, and as such are cut slightly shorter and fuller in their silhouette than our traditional tailored jackets.

Comfortable, practical and resilient, they're the kind of everyday classics that make getting dressed in the mornings super easy – regardless of the weather or occasion.

As with all members of the Games family of garments, the Mk. IV is defined by a specific sensibility: informal, practical and hardwearing, yet undeniably possessing a certain elegance.

It’s an unfussy, single-breasted jacket with no lining or structure. Where the Mk. IV differs is, firstly, in its pockets. The Mk. IV (in line with its name) has not one, not two, but four patch-flap pockets on its front, lending it that sense of hardiness which suffuses the collection as a whole.

We’ve also broadened the lapels out slightly, to make it a touch more redolent of the 1970s, with a functional keyhole buttonhole for full fastening.

Madras is a certified summer staple; woven from a delicate, short-staple cotton fibre that is home-spun by hand, resulting in the slubby unique texture.

This particular cloth is woven in a custom check, with colours typical of the natural dyeing process madras cotton undergoes, and as such is guaranteed to age beautifully with with washing and wear.
