To find your Henri-Lloyd size, measure your chest, waist, and hips, then match those measurements to the brand's men's or women's size chart below. Henri-Lloyd apparel is cut for an athletic, on-the-water fit, so when your measurements fall between two sizes we generally recommend sizing up for base layers and mid-layers and staying true-to-size on tailored jackets.
Henri-Lloyd sizing at a glance
| Step | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Measure your chest | Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms, keeping it level. | Chest is the primary sizing dimension for jackets, tees, and vests. |
| 2. Measure your waist | Measure around your natural waistline, roughly at the navel, without pulling tight. | Drives fit on trousers and hi-fit salopettes. |
| 3. Measure your hips | Measure around the widest point of your hips and seat. | Ensures trousers and women's shells sit correctly. |
| 4. Match to the chart | Find the size where all three measurements line up; if you fall between sizes, size up for layers. | Layered sailing kit needs room to move without binding. |
How do I measure myself for Henri-Lloyd gear?
Use a soft cloth tape measure over a thin base layer, not over bulky clothing. Keep the tape snug but not compressing, and stand relaxed with arms at your sides. For the most repeatable numbers, have someone else take the measurements, or measure in front of a mirror. Record chest, waist, and hips in the same units shown on the chart, then read across to the matching size.
Where is the Henri-Lloyd men's size chart?
The men's chart below converts your chest and waist measurements into Henri-Lloyd sizes across jackets, tees, and trousers. Layering pieces like the Dri-Fast tee are cut close for movement, while shell jackets leave room for mid-layers underneath.
Where is the Henri-Lloyd women's size chart?
The women's chart below maps chest, waist, and hip measurements to Henri-Lloyd sizes. Women's shells such as the Coastal Sail Jacket and Coastal Hi-Fit are tailored, so match your largest of the three measurements and size up if you plan to wear thick layers underneath.
What if I'm between two sizes?
If your measurements straddle two sizes, choose based on how you'll wear the piece. For base layers and mid-layers worn snug against the body, stay true-to-size. For jackets, vests, and salopettes you intend to layer over a fleece or mid-layer, size up so the outer shell fits comfortably without restricting movement.
Frequently asked questions
Does Henri-Lloyd run true to size?
Henri-Lloyd apparel is cut for an athletic, active fit and generally runs true to the measurements on its size chart. Match your chest, waist, and hip measurements to the chart rather than relying on a usual off-the-rack size.
Should I size up in Henri-Lloyd jackets?
Size up if you plan to wear a fleece or mid-layer underneath a shell jacket or vest. For pieces worn next to the skin, such as the Dri-Fast tee, stay true to size.
How do I measure my chest for a sailing jacket?
Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms, keeping it level and snug but not tight. Chest is the key measurement for Henri-Lloyd tops and jackets.
Are the men's and women's charts different?
Yes. Use the men's chart for men's cuts and the women's chart for women's cuts. Women's pieces factor in hip measurement and a more tailored shape, so use the chart that matches the garment's cut.
