Rowing Blazers at Henley Royal Regatta

The annual Henley Royal Regatta is the most prestigious rowing regatta in the world and represents the apex of the sport outside of the Olympic Games and World Championships. Like the Head of the Charles and the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race, it is a rowing event that captures the public imagination and attracts vast international audiences. It is also, along with Royal Ascot and Wimbledon, a major fixture on the British summer social calendar. The Regatta has played a crucial role in ensuring that rowing’s glorious, if quirky, blazer culture is both surviving and thriving nearly two centuries on. For the Regatta has maintained a picturesque Edwardian dress code that “encourages” ladies to wear hats; keeps hemlines several inches below the knee; and, most importantly, prevents gentlemen from removing their jackets. Henley, therefore, provides an annual five-day forum for rowers young and old to see and be seen, decked out in all of their coveted, flamboyant finery: the blazers, and also the boaters, ties, and badges that go with them.
