Craftsman Clothing

Update April 2024: the brand has probably closed its doors, the site no longer works. There are testimonies on social networks from people complaining about not having received their order / their refund on orders placed in 2023. The Craftsman Clothing brand defines itself as a purveyor of "sportorialism", cleverly contracting the words "sport" (in the old sense of the term, therefore "casual clothing") and "sartorialism". That is to say, she draws on the most casual and elegant elements of the classic wardrobe: suede leather safari jackets, rugby polo shirts, Henleys, Gurkha pants in all flavors (from washed Japanese denim to textured linen, including corduroy), cotton-linen-silk Bermuda shorts, striped overshirt... The emphasis is on strong pieces, and overall, it's quite successful, even if someone who dresses head to toe by the brand would risk overdoing it. As for the quality they claim, it is not usurped: there are beautiful Italian or Japanese fabrics, beautiful leathers, real care given to details and finishes. The quality/price ratio is undeniably good, especially for "niche" pieces which tend to sell for more, even if some would probably expect less because of the manufacturing in Hong Kong. The latest news is that the brand was also planning to launch a program of “made-to-measure” pants online, which are also customizable. In short: Craftsman clothing is a great address for those looking for both the canons of classic elegance, and a touch of originality and daring. However, take into account quite long delays between shipping and receipt of your order due to the geographical distance, as well as possible customs fees (even if the team has never experienced this yet. )
