The Gentleman’s Dispatch: Old School, Done Better

Join us this Friday and Saturday at Thistle & Oak for our Criquet Trunk Show, featuring Jordan from Criquet, who will be in-store with extended sizing and exclusive styles we don’t typically carry.

Founded in Austin, Texas, Criquet was born from the idea that some things—like a perfectly broken-in polo—never go out of style. Their motto, “Old School, Done Better,” perfectly captures the brand’s easygoing sophistication: timeless design, elevated materials, and a fit that feels just right.

Crafted from luxurious long-staple Pima cotton, often referred to as the “cashmere of cotton,” Criquet polos and shirts are soft, breathable, and built to last. Many pieces use organic cotton and thoughtful details likeremovable collar stays, ensuring your look stays sharp, whether you’re on the course or off the clock.

Criquet’s aesthetic nods to the vintage golf classics of the ’70s and ’80s, but with a modern spirit that’s pure Austin—laid-back, confident, and effortlessly cool. It’s clothing made for the 19th hole—that perfect place between work and play.

Stop by this Friday and Saturday to meet Jordan, explore the full collection, and discover why Criquet has become a go-to for men who appreciate heritage quality with modern comfort.
