The Toronto Raptors always go big for their annual “Drake Night.” Throughout the past couple of years, attendees have been blessed with limited edition—and highly coveted—gear, such as tees, sweatbands, and even lint rollers. The giveaways are always on point, but none compare to the gifts Drake has walked away with.
For the third annual “Drake Night,” in which the Raptors took on the Golden State Warriors at Air Canada Centre, the team's general manager Masai Ujiri presented Drizzy with another custom jacket. And this time, the design was much more in line with his signature laid-back style.
The piece was created by Years Co, the casual line of custom outerwear for Garrison Bespoke. As you might remember, Garrison was the company behind the previous “Drake Night” coats; but rather than deliver another formal design, Years Co created a casual fishtail coat.
The coat pays homage to the Raptors' heritage as well as the legacy of Toronto basketball. It’s lined with a throwback Huskies jersey, features Husky-inspired faux fur, and is constructed with what Years Co calls, "the filet mignon of cashmere." The main textile is a unique cashmere wool blend created by the storied French mill Dormeuil. According to a press release, the fabric is so rare that there is only enough to make 60 coats in the world. So, yes, it's casual, but very luxe. It also includes an OVO owl and praying hands patch for that extra Drake touch.
You can check out the custom piece in the images above and below.
