Formed in Manchester in 1963, Henri Lloyd was the first to develop a non-corrosive nylon zip, the first to put Velcro into waterproof sailing clothing and the first to introduce Gore Tex into the picture. The very first Henri Lloyd ocean jacket was tested for 22,000 hours at sea before being sold to the public. So it should come as no surprise that a few years after they launched their business, Sir Frances Chichester set sail wearing a Henry Lloyd consort jacket, and then became the first man to sail round the world singlehandedly. Sir Robin Knox Johnson, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Chay Blyth and Naomi Jones have all be equipped with Henri Lloyd Sailing Clothing on their journeys, so if you’re in good company if you decide to buy something from Henri Lloyd. What journey are you on?
