Our Boating Blazer Collection
The Boating Blazer or Rowing Blazer can be traced back to the 1850’s. The name ‘Blazer’ can be attributed to the jacket’s first worn by Lady Margaret Boat Club, Cambridge, these coats were ‘blazing red’ in colour and the inspiration behind the name ‘Blazer’.
Boating Blazer’s come in many shapes and colours, from eye catching stripes to jackets trimmed in club colours. Many events like the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race and Henley Regatta, would not be the same without these vibrant statements of fashion.
“The clouds may be grey overhead, but the peacock colours of a rowing blazer brings plenty of blinding brilliance to banks of the river, after all ‘Blazers maketh the man’.”

The glittering jewel in the crown of the British Summer social calendar for rowers around the world is a festival of striped blazers in every colour from conservative cream to lurid pink along with hats and ties in wild states of disarray.
For former competitors who no longer row, the blazer makes it easier for them to identify members of their old club, meet up with friends and rivals on the banks of the river.
“I went through the pain and sweat with my crew and this is the day of the year that I can wear this blazer and catch up with them”, said a famous Londoner.
