About Regatta
Regatta is a British outdoor and workwear brand and one of Europe's largest outdoor manufacturers. Headquartered in Manchester, England, the brand was founded in 1981 by Lionel Black as a family business (still privately held by the Black family today) and today runs three lines: Regatta (mass-market outdoor), Regatta Professional (B2B workwear) and Regatta Great Outdoors (premium outdoor). The brand is a member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition and increasingly uses recycled and Bluesign-certified materials. The Professional line is the typical B2B-workwear choice for trades, construction, warehouse logistics and field service.

Brand story — the British outdoor brand for B2B workwear
Regatta was founded in Manchester in 1981 by Lionel Black (preceded by Risol Products, acquired 1977) and is today one of the leading outdoor brands in Europe, still privately held by the Black family. The Regatta Professional line is the B2B variant of the consumer brand — robust, repairable, designed for daily commercial use. Three categories dominate the range:
- Fleece jackets and pullovers — warm, lightweight, easy to embroider
- Softshells — wind- and water-repellent, ideal for transition seasons
- Hi-Vis workwear and rain jackets — EN ISO 20471 certified for road, construction and rail crews
Regatta produces in Bangladesh, Vietnam and China under documented social standards. The brand is a Sedex member (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) and works with BSCI-audited factories. Regatta is also bluesign®-certified for parts of the range — meaning controlled chemical supply chains and reduced water and energy consumption.
In the UK and Ireland, Regatta is the typical workwear choice for construction, trades, gardening and event services. In Germany, Regatta is established especially in the construction, scaffolding, gardening and event-rental sectors.
Core range — the most important Regatta models at ShirtStore
Regatta Professional covers four worlds: Fleece jackets (Thor III TRF532), Softshells (Uproar TRA642), Rainwear (Ardmore TRW461) and Hi-Vis workwear.
Regatta TRF532 — Thor III Fleece
The workwear fleece jacket par excellence. 280 g/m² anti-pill polyester fleece, full zip, two zip pockets, chest pocket with embroidery space. Cut for trade and outdoor crews — boxy enough for layering, narrow enough not to look bulky. From €18.99. The classic onboarding garment for handicraft, gardening and construction crews. Embroidery recommendation on the left chest with company logo (7-9 cm). Detailed embroidery options, volume tiers and FAQ on the model page: Regatta Thor III Fleece embroidery.
Regatta TRA642 — Uproar Softshell
The 3-layer softshell with H2X-DRY-comparable membrane. Wind- and water-repellent, breathable, with elastane insert in shoulder for free arm movement. Two zip pockets, chest pocket, adjustable hem. Larger branding area on the back and on the left chest. From €38.99. Beloved by outdoor sales teams, scaffolding and roof-fitting crews, gardening services and event-rental personnel.
Regatta TRW461 — Ardmore Rain Jacket
Waterproof rain jacket (waterproof, not just water-repellent). 2-layer Hydrafort polyester construction, taped seams, integrated hood, adjustable cuffs with velcro. The classic trade and event rainwear, can be embroidered on the left chest. Tip: For warm rain protection, combine with TRF532 Thor III as fleece liner.
Regatta Hi-Vis Workwear
EN ISO 20471 certified hi-vis jackets and vests in yellow and orange. Including reflective strips in the chest, shoulders and waist area. Mandatory for road construction crews, railway personnel, traffic-engineering teams, parcel and delivery services. Embroiderable on the chest pocket and the back panel.
Regatta TRB1018 — Honestly Made Recycled Beanie
Beanie in 100% recycled polyester, fits universally on all head sizes. The Eco variant in the headwear range. Embroiderable on the cuff.
Other Regatta models
Regatta range also includes softshell vests (sleeveless, for warm transition days), softshell trousers (for technicians and outdoor sales), bodywarmers and gilets, polo shirts in technical fabric and belts with tool pockets. For larger crew orders B2B inquiry.
Material properties — what makes Regatta special
Anti-pill fleece. The TRF532 Thor III fleece has an anti-pill finish — even after 50+ washes, the surface stays smooth. Important for crews that wear the jacket several seasons.
Hydrafort waterproofing. Regattas rainwear has the proprietary Hydrafort polyester construction — 5,000 mm water column rating, taped seams, breathability via internal mesh inlay. Sufficient for stronger rain showers and several hours of light continuous rain.
EN ISO 20471 Hi-Vis. Regattas hi-vis range is certified according to EN ISO 20471 class 2 or 3 — mandatory for personnel near road, rail and active construction sites. Important: Embroidery and flex printing on hi-vis garments must be coordinated with the legal regulations — we know the requirements and recommend the right print positions.
Branding friendliness. Regatta fleece jackets and softshells offer large branding areas on chest and back. Important for trade brand presence on construction sites and at event-rental fairs.
Finishing recommendation — what suits Regatta?
Embroidery is the premium choice for Regatta fleece jackets and softshells. On the anti-pill fleece fabric, logos can be embroidered cleanly — also multicolor designs up to 10 × 8 cm size. The robust outdoor look becomes visibly more professional through embroidery.
Flex printing is suitable for rainwear (Hydrafort), hi-vis garments (the smooth fluorescent fabric works perfectly for flex print) and detailed crew labels (employee names, role tags). Premium flex films stay elastic and don't break even after 50+ washes.
Not recommended: Screen printing on softshell membrane materials — the plastisol print blocks the membrane breathability and may peel off after a few washes.
