What We're Looking For

About Us

Criquet is an independent web-driven menswear brand from Austin, TX. We invest in quality of life. Were as well stocked in IPAs as we are IRAs. Were into counter-culture, dive bars and scuba-diving for lost golf balls. Were all manner of men and women but we arent yes-men. Because ordinary is boring. So, whether were 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.
