Design your own gilet.

The Lavenham Custom Gilet gives you the chance to design your own gilet. Choose a style, size, fabric, binding, stud and embroidery to create something unique to you.

Currently this service is available exclusively at our pop-up events and Japanese shops, although in time it will be available online too.

Lavenham Custom Gilet: The Process

To create your own Lavenham Custom Gilet, first attend one of our events. A member of our team will then talk you through the different options across style. size, fabric, binding, press stud and embroidery. We currently offer the Custom Gilet service on two of our most popular gilet styles - the Thornham Men's and the Cocoon Thornham Women's.

We offer a range of different fabric options, from 2" diamond quilt Lavenster™ (our signature recycled polyester) to luxurious British-woven wools. The fabric will vary from event to event, although we will always offer Lavenster in our most popular neutral colours, and a selection of cottons and wools. You also have the option to add embroidered initials.

When you have chosen your style, size, fabric, studs, binding and embroidery the completed order form will be sent to the Lavenham factory in Suffolk, England. Once there, our artisans will begin work making your gilet. Usually this takes around 4 weeks, at which point it will be delivered to your chosen address.
