About Henri Lloyd

Henri-Lloyd was founded in Manchester in 1963 by Henri Strzelecki, who set out to make the best weatherproof clothing for sailors and explorers. Its early customers included sailing pioneers such as Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, Sir Francis Chichester and Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who relied on the brand for their gear. The brand introduced seam taping in jackets, a change that set a new standard for waterproofing. Today the range covers premium sailing and outdoor clothing for men and women, with versatile midlayers and lightweight waterproofs for changing skies. The Jib Jacket, first a lighter version of a sailing jacket, became a Henri-Lloyd original.
