D R E S S W E L L , D O R I G H T, E N J O Y L I F E . SPRING | SUMMER 2016
D R E S S W E L L , D O R I G H T, E N J O Y L I F E . After lamenting the loss of great and hard-to-replace polo shirts from our days growing up together, we set out on the quest to find the perfect shirt. The perfect shirt would be comfortable. It would look great on or off the course. It would take inspiration from the past. And it would bring new ideas about design and materials into play whenever it made sense. After years at the drawing board, The Players Shirt was born. But Criquet is about much more than shirts. It’s about the life we live. For us, the spirit of The 19th Hole sums up what we love best about that life. The 19th Hole is wherever and whenever you’re most at ease. Where you kick back with friends when you’re finished. Where you swap the best stories. Share the best details. Make the best calls. And effortlessly dress for the occasion. Cheers,

T H E P L AY E R S S H I R T If we had been able to find that perfect shirt from our past, we wouldn’t have needed to design it and make it ourselves. But we didn’t, so we did. And others caught on: This shirt has been dubbed the “new old-school golf shirt” by the Wall Street Journal and also named “the perfect polo” by Details Magazine. From shankers to bankers, our super soft 100% organic cotton Players Shirt improves all games— both on and off the course. PICTU RE D RIGH T : The Players Shirt in You’re My Boy Blue, $75 (see p. 6)
