Blimey Cro'Jack

Japan and Italy, great admirers of British heritage brands, get ready to welcome a newcomer. Contradiction in terms? Not really, Cro'  Jack offer high-quality British men's apparel with designs that reflect British heritage in terms of materials and styles. And the clothes are Made in England, unlike some of the more high-profile British heritage labels. Old Tweedy approves considerably.

Duffle toggles and British Duralinen fabric

I'm taken with the nautical feel of the Blimey jacket, with its duffle toggles and British Duralinen fabric, and the super-thick fisherman's sweater. This stuff looks indestructible and its maritime feel wouldn't look out of place in The Cruel Sea (or on a football terrace). Indeed, as we all know, a cro’jack (cross jack) is a piece of nautical equipment - the lower yard on the mizenmast of a square-rigged ship.
