LAVENHAM × Nicholas Daley’s Red Quilted Jacket: Corduroy, Curved Stitching and Adjusters
Listed at ¥143,000 in Japan, this collaboration combines cotton corduroy, black binding and ND embroidery. A two-way zip and cuff and waist adjusters give its construction more to discuss than a retro color palette.
LAVENHAM and Nicholas Daley’s Autumn/Winter 2026 quilted jacket brings British outerwear craft into a looser, workwear-influenced silhouette through red corduroy, black binding and curved stitching. In Japan, its official name is Nicholas Daley X Lavenham Cord Jacket Mens, style LV14059, with a listed price of ¥143,000. This is an existing piece from the season, featured again in a Japanese styling story on October 24, rather than a product making its first appearance on October 25.
What do corduroy and onion quilting each contribute?
The Japanese official specifications list a 100% cotton corduroy shell, 100% polyester wadding and lining, and trim in 60% wool and 40% polyester. Rather than making every part from the same cotton cloth, the jacket gives its exterior, inner layers and edging different roles. Fine vertical corduroy ribs intersect with curved, onion-shaped quilting lines: close up, there is a direction to the fabric, while at a distance the larger raised sections become legible.
The contrast between red and black is more than a decorative outline. Front and back photographs show black lines defining the collar, placket and hem, giving the red body clear boundaries. The back avoids large lettering, allowing the stitching itself to become its principal pattern. Yellow ND embroidery beside the left front pocket concentrates identification in a small area. The composition can be read at two distances without requiring an enormous collaboration logo across the garment.

How do the two-way zip and adjusters affect wearing options?
Official details include a two-way zip, two front seam pockets and an inner chest pocket, with adjustment straps at the cuffs and waist. The zip can open from below, offering a different operation from a single-direction fastening opened only from the neckline. Straps at the waist and cuffs adjust local gathering. These are identifiable construction features, rather than proof that the jacket is lighter when worn, suits every temperature or replaces a waterproof raincoat.

Nicholas Daley’s official collaboration overview describes two styles for the season: Riot Jacket and Riot Gilet, each with color choices. The piece here is a sleeved jacket, not the gilet. Conditions for the olive MAIDENS three-party exclusive or yellow Blue in Green edition should not be applied to this red jacket. Similar collaboration names still require checking the color, style and actual product page to distinguish versions that might otherwise appear to be the same item.

Check sizing, manufacture and purchasing conditions
The jacket is made in Suffolk, England. The Japanese site lists S/36, M/38 and L/40, with lengths of 67, 69 and 71 cm respectively. Nicholas Daley’s international product page instead lists XS through XL, with a different size range and measurement table. The two charts should not be combined into a single shared specification. The photographs’ relaxed effect is also a styling reference; compare measurements with your preferred length, layering thickness and existing outerwear.
Full information is available on the official LAVENHAM Japan product page, while Nicholas Daley’s red Riot Jacket page offers front, back and detail views. Japan’s delivery policy is domestic only, so readers elsewhere must separately check international shipping and costs. Listed sizes do not establish that every color and size is currently in stock. Looking first at the relationship between corduroy and stitching, then at fastenings and proportions, gives a clearer comparison than reducing the jacket to “retro red.”
