A Navy sportcoat is a basic every man should own, but the Crittenden Signature Silk & Linen takes it to a whole (lighter) level. Read about how industry legend Critt Rawlings developed this summer gentlemen's best-seller.
When Critt started the Crittenden line over 20 years ago, a few things drove him: providing a great quality product at a truly unheard of value, cutting out some of the high markups that he felt other brands misused, in order to encourage and enable more American men to dress well, and finding the most unique and high quality fabrics at the best price.
Critt was ahead of his time, as usual, in heading to Asia to examine the quality of products available in certain regions. He found along the way gorgeous silk fabrics he hadnt seen used in tailored clothing, and so began the story of our number one best selling coat for over 20 years, the Crittenden Signature Silk & Linen Jacket. An exclusive fabric developed by Critt with his trusted Asian mill, this "formula" is a proven winner for its lightness, soft handle, and breathability. Along with our true French-facing (unlined except for piped seams, sleeves and butterfly yoke) and soft construction, this fabric makes for a sportcoat thats nearly as light as a shirt. Available year round in navy, in Spring/Summer you will always find 3, 4, or more brights and neutrals (pink, purple, red, coral, black, sand, and cream have been some past season favorites), along with trousers and vests to make a suit or mix with other warm weather staples. As we say, you may have a navy blazer, but if you live in a warmer climate, are headed to a summer wedding or on a sharp summer holiday, you need THIS navy blazer. Its so light, naturally wrinkle resistant, and travels beautifully: your trip to Italy just got easier and cooler. Our number one seller for summer grooms and groomsmen, fathers of the bride or groom, graduations and any summer special occasion. Indeed, the only problem with our Silk & Linen is getting your hands on it as it sells out quickly. Never fear, though, summer warriors: we restock throughout the year...
