About Us
Criquet is an independent web-driven menswear brand from Austin, TX. We invest in quality of life. We’re as well stocked in IPAs as we are IRAs. We’re into counter-culture, dive bars and scuba-diving for lost golf balls. We’re all manner of men and women but we aren’t yes-men. Because ordinary is boring. So, whether we’re making shirts, outerwear or old-fashioneds, they need to be high quality, they need to be done our way, and they need those little details that make all the difference. Proudly from Austin and comfortably off-course.
