We first previewed the Lavenham A/W 2011 collection during winter (capsule) Paris this year. Today, we take another look at the collection of outerwear, in stores now. The iconic quilted look from the brand continues with new materials and textiles that add sheen in that Italo-mountaineering way. They bring warmth but consider some laying with your Lavenham. The collection is vast so spend some time exploring.

Another look at the offering from Lavenham for Autumn Winter 2011. The “Classic Stock Supported Range” really does not bring new looks to the table as much as it revisits the classic shapes and quilt patterns that Lavenham is known for. Choose from a variety of shades and vest vs. coat cuts. Dig in.

A look at a new jacket from Lavenham for Spring/Summer 2012. As seen at Bread and Butter Berlin. Produced by moodmacher.

Some fresh looks for Spring 2011 from the Lavenham company. Our Spring 2010 profile told it best, “Britian’s Lavenham is one of those companies that keeps their production inside the British Isles. It is an important element of their business, where compromise is not an option.” Dig through these looks.

The previews keep on rolling. Here’s a couple of looks at what’s to come from Lavenham’s AW10 collection. Whilst the quilted jacket is to be expected (it is their M.O, after all) the duffle jacket is one of those old new additions that only brands with genuine heritage can get away with – if you know what we mean.

The yellow-y beige duffle is a nice change from the usual sea of navy and the tweed jacket is our preferred version of the quilted jacket. We like the nylon ones, but it just makes too much noise when you move, no one wants their upper body movement to sound like you’ve plugged your coat into an amplifier. Readers should also enjoy that one of our writers are taking turns modelling – with the head cut off to preserve our modesty and your stomach.

Lavenham offers up a preview of their forthcoming Lavenham Autumn/Winter 2010 collection. “Lavenham is an English manufacturer of superior quality country clothing and horse rugs. The brand was founded in 1969 and made the first nylon quilted horse rug, closely followed by matching jackets and waistcoats for the rider. Today, people are still charmed by the brand for pretty much the same reasons as 40 years ago. Keeping with the commitment to in-house manufacturing, Lavenham oversees each stage of production in their Sudbury premises, from cutting, quilting to the final inspection of goods.” Find them at (capsule) Paris later in the month.

We’re torn. We hate those Barbour quilted jackets, but love the quilted effect. Our way around this earth shatteringly important problem would be to get a quilted accessory. If, for some crazy reason, you’re not entirely sold on quilted accessories then this rucksack is a good entry level piece – if you can proxy it over from Japan, that is. At a converted price of £146/$242, it’s affordable whilst not being bargain basement cheap and the corduroy trim is enough to give it a quirk. It’s a shame that a product like this is Japan only, but that’s the way it is sometimes. (Museum Arks)

Lavenham drops this patchwork vest to celebrate their 40th anniversary. They dig through their fabric archive to bring forth a variety of panels made to show off the company’s heritage. Check the gun patch on the shoulder and the back vest pocket. A beautiful piece. Well done. (museumark)

We give love to the companies that keep it close. Britian’s Lavenham is one of those companies that keeps their production inside the British Isles. It is an important element of their business, where compromise is not an option. “Lavenham is an English manufacturer of superior quality country clothing and horse rugs. The brand was founded in 1969 and made the first nylon quilted horse rug, closely followed by matching jackets and waistcoats for the rider. The name quickly spread and Lavenham established a reputation of quality and durability through its nylon quilted products.” Photography by Ross Trevail.

United Arrow’s Beauty & Youth line brings the classic quilted jackets of Britian’s Lavenham to the shore of Japan with two excellent color options. The Lavenham jackets are very practical and still seem throughout countrysides and carriage houses. We’re loving the deep green and greys that Beauty & Youth has chosen for their looks.
