Henbury brings fresh colour and same trusted quality to its 2026 collection
For more than two decades, Henbury has been synonymous with premium quality and innovation in the corporate apparel sector, delivering stylish, high-performance garments designed for modern professionals. Each season brings thoughtful updates that balance classic style with modern practicality. For 2026, the spotlight falls on innovation through colour and comfort – refreshing some of the brand’s most popular wardrobe staples with new tones and textile precision.
This year, the Henbury collection welcomes new colourways to its trusted classic H475/6 CoolPlus Polo Shirts and a polished new shade for the H729 Men’s ¼ Zip Jumper. These updates celebrate versatility – expanding creative possibilities for decorators while delivering even greater comfort, confidence and performance for the wearer.
The CoolPlus Polo
There are few garments more essential to modern workwear than the polo shirt – bridging the gap between professional polish and everyday ease. Henbury says its CoolPlus Polos “have long set the benchmark for that balance, combining timeless design with advanced moisture-wicking performance”.
For 2026, the Men’s H475 and Ladies’ H476 CoolPlus Polo Shirts evolve once again with new contemporary shades:
• Baby pink is soft, refined, and refreshingly modern; a confident pastel tone that adds a touch of warmth to corporate or hospitality uniforms.
• Teal is sophisticated yet striking, bridging classic navy and modern turquoise – ideal for teams wanting distinction without excess.
• Chocolate (H475 only) is a rich, earthy neutral that complements existing palettes and brings depth to any uniform set.
• Airforce blue (H475 only) is a polished, confident blue that remains a customer favourite for its professional versatility.
These colours extend the options for this proven classic to 31 shades, opening new possibilities for corporate identity, leisurewear, and decoration projects alike, points out Henbury.
The CoolPlus Fabric Advantage
At the heart of the H475 and H476 lies CoolPlus technology, a specially engineered polyester fibre designed for maximum comfort and performance. Its unique cross-section increases the surface area within each fibre, explains the brand, creating “superior capillary action” that draws moisture away from the skin.
For the wearer, this means:
• Quick-drying comfort that keeps wearers cool, dry, and fresh – even during long hours or active use.
• A light, breathable feel thanks to the micro-piqué construction that maintains structure while allowing air to circulate.
• A crisp, professional appearance that resists creasing and holds its shape wash after wash.
Henbury’s CoolPlus range has nine garments all with this performing fabric, with the new H075 T-shirt being added to the collection in the middle of 2025.
For decorators, CoolPlus offers a smooth, stable surface ideal for embroidery and print. Its consistency and colourfastness make it a reliable base for corporate logos and designs, ensuring results look sharp and vibrant. “This dual benefit – comfort for the wearer, reliability for the decorator – defines what Henbury does best: timeless apparel built with precision and purpose.”
Smart and understated – the ¼ Zip Jumper is now available in light heather

The Henbury ¼ Zip Jumper, now in light heather
Rounding out the 2026 update is the addition of light heather to the H729 Men’s ¼ Zip Jumper – a piece that brings understated sophistication to smart-casual dressing.
Crafted from a 50/50 cotton-acrylic blend, the H729 offers the best of both worlds: the breathable softness of natural fibre combined with the strength and durability of acrylic. The new light heather tone introduces a subtle, modern neutral that coordinates effortlessly with core polo shades, chinos, or outerwear.
Perfect for layering, this jumper transitions easily between office and off-duty environments. Its fine gauge knit ensures a sleek silhouette, while the quarter zip detail adds a contemporary edge. For decorators, the tight-knit structure provides a stable surface for embroidery.
2026 inspiration
The 2026 colour introductions were inspired by shifts in workplace style and market demand for versatility and individuality, reveals Henbury. “As hybrid working blurs the line between formal and casual, customers are seeking garments that look professional yet feel effortless. The new baby pink, teal, airforce blue and chocolate tones reflect this move towards softer, contemporary colour palettes seen across retail and uniform sectors, offering warmth, personality, and modern appeal.”
Light heather in the H729 responds to growing demand for refined, easy-to-layer knitwear that complements a broader range of corporate and casual wardrobes — proof that Henbury continues to evolve with the needs of today’s professionals.
