Nautical Heritage: Introducing Henri-Lloyd SS25

Nautical Heritage: Introducing Henri-Lloyd SS25

Rachel Hodgson

For Spring Summer 25 our new Nautique collection continues to build on Henri-Lloyd’s nautical heritage, with new styles of some iconic outerwear pieces alongside effortless summer basics including salt-washed versions and fabrications of Henri-Lloyd’s most popular styles.

Featuring a summery colour palette, including yellow, blue, sand and white, classic nautical elements from our timeless archives have provided inspiration for this season, bringing a refined effortless feel to our latest designs.

“Digging into the Henri-Lloyd archive and working with the DNA of the brand, I came across the Nautique jacket, which to me summed up everything about Henri-Lloyd in the summer.” – Kestin Hare.

“I was originally attracted to the unique navy and white colour blocking; for me this is the epitome of nautical heritage. Henri-Lloyd was one of the first sailing brands to use colour blocking in this way, setting the tone as a look globally.

“I also loved the clever detailing and its rope, compass and crown embroidery on the arm patch - higher levels of detail and extra chest pockets have then been used across the collection to bring it all together.”

This style has spurred on a fresh approach to colour blocking for Summer, with sunbleached fabrication finishes, giving the collection a soft, lived-in, distinctly Henri-Lloyd character.

Other jackets and fleeces from the same period have helped shape the collection, offering updated versions of the original styles, such as a colour blocked Foremost Shell 3-layer jacket, alongside tonal modern versions for the purists, as well as the reinclusion of the ever-popular Consort RWR, the Jib jacket and the Freo.

Design Details

The Nautique embroidered logo, along with the rope, compass, and crown details, as well as the RWR flags embroidery, are seamlessly integrated onto the jersey, creating a cohesive aesthetic that pays homage to the brand's DNA.

This infusion of iconic elements offers a slightly bolder appearance, perfect for the summer season, and a hallmark characteristic unique to Henri-Lloyd. Additionally, functional features like external hanging loops, originally designed for waterproof jackets, have been thoughtfully incorporated into non-jacket styles, showcasing the brand's commitment to both practicality and style continuity

Innovations

Responsible fabric sourcing is always key and this season the Nautique and the Foremost Jacket are constructed from a blend of recycled nylon and SEAWASTEX®.  

Recycling fishing nets under the SEAWASTEX® brand name, the business takes 100% waste fishing nets – those no longer serviceable, and ghost nets from the sea – and turns these into 95% usable recycled material.  

Active shorts are made from SENSIL® Nylon 6.6, the highest quality manmade fibre, with a stronger, softer, better look and feel. SENSIL® has a more appealing luster and better longevity than Nylon 6. It’s ultra comfortable, making it perfect for next-to-body garments. It offers superior performance, with inherent odour control, temperature and moisture management, durability, tactility and comfort. 

The Seaton Hoody

Crafted from 100% Organic Cotton, this loop back sweatshirt is designed for premium comfort. Distinctive corduroy panel accents to the front of the hood add a touch of texture and refinement to a wardrobe staple, elevating the basics to incorporate a more classic, timeless feel. 

Iconic branding features in the form of the Henri-Lloyd linear logo prominently displayed on the hood, with adjusters that incorporate a nautical-inspired drawcord. More sailing-inspired details include a small sailing flag embroidery on the left sleeve cuff bridging heritage and contemporary styles. 

The kangaroo pocket adds practicality and convenient storage, and the ribbed hem and cuffs make for a snug, comfortable fit. 

This hoody embodies classic charm with modern functionality, perfect for casual wear. 

The Nautique Jacket

Introducing the updated Nautique jacket for 2025. 

Fully waterproof, new features include zipped pockets at the chest and lower body, a pack-away hood with a convenient stow-away design, signature Henri-Lloyd branding  to the front with embroidered self-fabric patch to the arm that pays homage to the vintage Nautique style.

The Nautique jacket for 2025 is where heritage meets innovation, ready for adventure while supporting ocean sustainability. 

The Foremost Jacket

New for 2025, the new Foremost jacket has an advanced construction using waterproof 2L fabric with mesh lining, making it incredibly lightweight, breathable and fully waterproof. 

Enhanced mobility is helped by a half armhole design for unrestricted movement, and is combined with a hood with front and back adjusters for added functionality. 

Embroidered self-fabric patch with the iconic Henri-Lloyd linear logo features on the chest and is complemented by premium hardware and sustainable fabrications. 

The Foremost jacket for 2025 blends tradition with innovation, offering superior performance and sustainability. 

The Trafford Knit 

Introducing our Trafford knit kumper, crafted from 100% organic cotton, and the perfect accompaniment for cooler nights following warmer days. 

The classic cable pattern design features signature branding in the form of an embroidered Laurel and Crown icon logo on the left chest, reflecting inherent heritage and timeless style. 

Contrast detail in the way of vibrant colour tippings highlight the ribbing at the neck, sleeves, and hems, adding a pop of colour and sophistication to a true classic wardrobe staple.
