Offshore Heritage. British Craftsmanship.

The 2013 Harris Tweed Consort RWR brings together Henri-Lloyd’s pioneering sailing heritage and traditional British craftsmanship, reimagining an iconic design through distinctive materials and colour.

Originally introduced in 1987 by Italian designer Olmes Carretti, the Consort RWR drew inspiration from the Whitbread Round the World Race, translating the bold aesthetic and adventurous spirit of offshore sailing into everyday style.

This 2013 edition combines distinctive yellow and green detailing with authentic Harris Tweed, handwoven in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland from 100% pure virgin wool. Renowned for its durability, warmth and rich texture, the fabric brings a unique character to the RWR's recognisable silhouette.

A distinctive interpretation of a Henri-Lloyd icon, celebrating the meeting of sailing heritage, Italian design and British textile tradition.

The 2013 Consort RWR by Olmes Carretti Story

Launched in 1987, the Consort RWR (Round the World Race) was designed by renowned Italian designer Olmes Carretti as a reinterpretation of Henri-Lloyd’s original Consort jacket, first introduced in 1965.

Drawing inspiration from the Whitbread Round the World Race, the RWR incorporated the bold colours and distinctive character of offshore racing into a jacket designed for everyday wear. Carretti introduced deeper raglan sleeves, corduroy-lined collars and trims, and refined pockets, retaining the original Consort’s functional design while giving it a more distinctive silhouette.

The jacket gained prominence within Italy’s Paninaro youth subculture, where Henri-Lloyd had become recognised for its quality, technical heritage and bold design. By the late 1980s and 1990s, its popularity had spread to the UK, establishing the RWR as a recognised piece of British streetwear. Reissued over the decades, the jacket remains closely connected to its original 1987 design.
