England's conscience, Lavenham, launches a technical gilet. It is a collaboration with fellow countryman Ryan Gander.

I really think that England is a country of manufacturing. In this article, we have introduced you to the factories of numerous brands that still value domestic production.

One of them is Lavenham, a British factory brand founded in Suffolk, northeast of London, in 1969.

Fifty years after the brand's birth, all products are still produced by skilled craftsmen at the company's own factory in Suffolk. This time, the brand has collaborated with Suffolk-based artist Ryan Gander on a special item.

Over the past 20 years, Ryan Gander has established an international reputation through a wide range of artwork, from sculpture, apparel, and architecture to painting, calligraphy, and performance.

For this collaboration, a modular gilet called "Things Just Happen To Me" was created, which can be worn in 16 different ways.

The gilet comes with a 16-sided dice, and there are 16 different ways to wear it, determined by the roll of the dice, and the QR code can be scanned to find the combination.

The customizable gilet combines both navy twill panels and a 2" diamond quilted recycled polyester 100% labnster fabric.

A large flap pocket on the back holds unused parts of the gilet that can be worn 16 different ways. The padding is made of lightweight recycled polyester, which provides excellent warmth without bulk.

It is very interesting that a traditional brand like LAVENHAM would create such a gimmicky item.

There is a tradition, and we can build on it, break it, and expand it. It's a "break with tradition.
