The Thornham

The Thornham is the layering gilet. It is designed to be worn as either an outer gilet or as a mid-layer gilet. Its collarless neckline and neutral straight fit enable it to sit seamlessly under coats or jackets, however, as it is not completely form-fitting it also works as a top layer. It is the most versatile of our classic gilets, and can be worn year-round with different layers.

• Layering gilet
• Straight, neutral fit
• Can be worn as an outer gilet or inner gilet
• Collarless neckline
• Lightweight yet warm wadding
• 100% recycled Lavenster™ polyester
• 2 x Patch pockets
• 1 x Interior chest pocket
• Organic cotton corduroy binding

Sizing Advice: Take your usual size if you prefer a neat fit and would like to be able to wear this layered under a coat. If you prefer a more oversized relaxed fit, then take a size up. If you are unsure about which size to take, compare the actual gilet measurements found on the product page with a garment that you already own and like the fit of.

The model is 181cm / 5 ft 11.5 in and is wearing a size 8.

The Cocoon Thornham

An outer gilet with a sculptural silhouette. A pleated back creates a softly structured cocoon shape, offering both form and ease of movement. It wears well in place of a jacket on mild days or for relaxed days staying warm whilst at home or working. It is worth noting that this one is a little more difficult to layer underneath coats and jackets due to its ‘cocoon’ shape.

• Lightweight yet warm wadding
• 2 x Patch pockets

Sizing Advice: Take your usual size if you prefer a neat fit. If you prefer a more oversized relaxed fit, then take a size up. If you are unsure about which size to take, compare the actual gilet measurements found on the product page with a garment that you already own and like the fit of.
