Henri-Lloyd is a British clothing brand with roots in Manchester, founded in 1963 by Henri Strzelecki and Angus Lloyd. Built on decades of experience outfitting competitive sailors, the brand became renowned for weatherproof jackets, technical outerwear, and a full range of nautical and casual styles that combine performance with everyday wearability.
Since 1963, Henri-Lloyd has been a trusted name in the sailing community, supplying clothing to competitive yachtsmen and weekend dinghy sailors alike. The brand pioneered a number of textile innovations, including the first non-corrosive nylon zipper for waterproof garments, hand-taped seams, Velcro closures in sailing jackets, and the incorporation of Gore-Tex waterproofing. This commitment to technical excellence made Henri-Lloyd a go-to choice for those who demand reliable protection on the water.
Henri-Lloyd's appeal extended well beyond the marina. The brand gained a strong following in fashion circles during the 1980s, when its Consort Jacket became a signature piece of the Italian Paninaro street-style scene. A dedicated casual range sits alongside the technical sailing line, covering everything from jackets and knitwear to t-shirts, footwear, and swimwear. The result is a versatile wardrobe that works on deck, on a walk, or simply at home.
Whether you are a part-time dinghy enthusiast or an ocean-going yachtsman, Henri-Lloyd's weatherproofing is engineered to keep you warm and dry. The brand's jackets and waterproof layers draw on decades of real-world sailing experience, using high-specification fabrics and construction techniques refined through years of feedback from professional and amateur sailors. Durability, fit, and protection are built into every garment.
Henri-Lloyd was founded in Manchester in 1963 by Henri Strzelecki and Angus Lloyd. The brand name is a combination of their two surnames.
The range covers technical sailing apparel -- including waterproof jackets, salopettes, and mid-layers -- as well as a broad casual collection of knitwear, t-shirts, shorts, swimwear, and footwear. Both men's and women's ranges are available.
Henri-Lloyd has a long record of introducing technical innovations to sailing clothing, including Gore-Tex fabric, hand-taped seams, and the first nylon non-corrosive zip. These advances were developed to meet the demands of professional racing sailors and are carried through into their broader range.
Yes. While the brand's technical credentials come from the sailing world, many Henri-Lloyd pieces are designed for everyday outdoor wear -- casual jackets, knitwear, and lifestyle clothing that are practical for walking, travel, and leisure as well as time on the water.
Henri-Lloyd earned Fashion Brand of the Year in the UK in 1997, driven partly by its Black Label collection. The brand also gained a strong following in street-style and casual fashion well before that, particularly in Europe during the 1980s.
