We love nothing more than seeing our Old Vikings sporting a Shiplake blazer. Whether it's lining the banks of the Thames to cheer on the rowers at Henley Royal Regatta or at an OVS social event, the more Shiplake stripy blazers the better!

Old Vikings are eligible and welcome to purchase a standard maroon, gold and black striped Shiplake blazer from our uniform suppliers Schoolblazer. 

Alternatively, Old Vikings may wish to purchase a made-to-order Shiplake blazer or waistcoat by Perry's.

We are now taking orders for Perry's blazers. This order window will close on Sunday 30 March - any orders placed after this deadline will not be ready in time for Henley Royal Regatta 2025.

Please note that only those who have competed at Henley Royal Regatta are eligible to order the Henley Blazer with the prestigious gold trim, and, importantly, Perry's CANNOT add the gold trim to other blazers after production. If you are a current pupil and unsure whether you will row at Henley this year, we recommend ordering the College Blazer or the Boat Club Blazer or waiting until after you have competed to order the Henley Blazer.

There are four different blazer types (in Men's/Schooner and Women's/Skylark fits) and one waistcoat: 

The College Blazer (£240.00) - Our iconic blazer in the Shiplake maroon, black and gold stripes with the school crest embroidered onto the chest pocket. 

The Boat Club Blazer (£240.00) - The iconic Shiplake striped blazer with the Boat Club 'crossed oars' emblem embroidered onto the chest pocket. 

The Henley Blazer (£260.00) - Only those who competed at Henley Royal Regatta for Shiplake College are eligible to order the Boat Club blazer complete with the prestigious gold trim. 

The Homegrown Henley Blazer (£270.00) - A nod to our homegrown oarsmen. Those who started their rowing journey at Shiplake (ie those who joined the school in Year 7, Year 8 or Year 9) and went on to represent the College at Henley Royal Regatta are eligible to order The Boat Club blazer complete with prestigious gold trim and gold lining. 

The Henleys Waistcoat (£110.00) - Anyone who has rowed for the College at more than one Henley Royal Regatta is eligible to order a waistcoat. 

Blazers are made to order from our supplier Perry's. Before placing your order, please refer to their measuring guidelines and sizing charts found below. Please note sizes (are in even numbers only) and fit MUST be added alongside delivery requirements before you complete the order.

From Year 9 pupils will have the opportunity to try rowing at Shiplake. They will not require any specific kit initially and may participate wearing College sports clothing. Before the beginning of the Spring Term, pupils will indicate which major sport they will pursue. Pupils selected for Year 9 racing crews will need to purchase some additional items of rowing kit. 

The Director of Rowing will contact parents about requirements at the appropriate time. Prior to their arrival at Shiplake College, it is very difficult to know how much rowing sixth form girls will become involved in. This can vary within each cohort and is very much dependent on the girls themselves and the level of commitment that they wish to make to the sport. As a result of the uncertainty, kit requirements are not defined in advance and we do not advise parents to purchase rowing kit for their daughters before they join the College if they will be novices/beginners. Loose fitting clothes are however more prone to getting caught in the seat slides and blade handles can sometimes get stuck in T-shirts which can hamper performance. Therefore, should pupils take part in rowing regularly, it is recommended they purchase an all-in-one for training, which will also be suitable for racing. 

Other Boat Club kit is optional and can be purchased at a later date. All rowers who enter into competitions for the College require a Club (Bumblebee) All-In-One, Maroon leggings, black long-sleeve tech top, white short-sleeve tech top (you can so use cheaper alternatives as long as they are non-branded) and a black splash top (Catch Wind Shell). Please note that some items are for Senior Rowers only. There are also a couple of items that are available but not essential; the gilet and the softshell top. We have a limited number of brand new (mens and womens) Shiplake all-in-ones on our pre-loved shop which can be found here.

Shiplake Boat Club kit is provided by Five57 Sportsgear, if any items you order do not contribute to the 10 item minimum order quantity required by the company you will be refunded by them.
