Crew Clothing steps up in sportswear with comprehensive new line
Dedicated running jackets, gilets and shorts, are produced in a lightweight woven fabric and come with reflective detailing.
Finally, the Technical capsule has breathable, sweat-wicking fabric with four-way stretch for performance and recovery.
Prices range from £25 to £65 with the Crew Sport collection available through any of its 41 stores and online from 17 June.
Head of Marketing Naomi Parry said: 'Entering the sportswear space feels like a natural progression for Crew. Born out of a Salcombe windsurfing shop, we launched our very first collection with rugby shirts designed by a GB skier [so] sport is in our DNA.'
Calling the line 'a natural progression', she highlighted the brand's close sporting legacy which, in the last decade has been built through sponsorship partnerships with Henley Royal Regatta, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and the England Red Roses rugby team, 'and Crew Sport is the next step in our journey'.
She added: 'We know our customers live active, varied lifestyles, and we think this new collection will be the ideal addition to their wardrobe.'
Head of Design Jo Miller also said: 'Designed to transcend age, gender and fitness level, our new athleticwear collection blends our timeless heritage with cutting-edge details.
'We've become known for our signature touches over the years, and you'll find that here too. Whether it's the unrestrictive storm flap on our running gilet or the thumb holes on our track top, we've thought through all the little details.'
The launch also comes with a marketing campaign that reflects not only the brand's British legacy but injects some humour too. 'We don't take ourselves too seriously and hope that will come through in some of the copy we are launching with,' noted Parry.
Taglines include 'Your park-run-and-a-pint Crew' and 'Barbells-and-a-brunch Crew'… 'it's mixing that sport and team spirit [and] bringing it all together in that British tongue-in-cheek humour'.
She added: 'In essence, Crew Sport's sporty but doesn't take itself too seriously, is stylish but not too showy, made to make you feel good and fit into your lifestyle… and the added mix of heritage and humour is what will carry it through'.

Sam Lobban joins Thom Browne as CEO after leaving Nordstrom
, the American luxury label known for its sharp tailoring and owned by the Ermenegildo Zegna Group, is undergoing a leadership shift. The brand has appointed Sam Lobban as its new chief executive officer (CEO), recruiting him from Nordstrom, where he currently serves as executive vice president and general manager of the Apparel & Designer division. The British executive is set to join Thom Browne in early September, taking over from Rodrigo Bazan, who has held the role since 2016 and is stepping down 'to pursue new opportunities.' 'Sam Lobban is an innovator in merchandising and has notably secured collaborations at Nordstrom with major brands, including Thom Browne,' the Italian luxury group stated. Lobban began his career in 2010 at Selfridges in London, before joining the founding team of online fashion retailer Mr Porter a year and a half later. He remained there until 2018, then moved to Nordstrom in 2019, where he rapidly advanced through leadership roles. The Italian company thanks Rodrigo Bazan, recalling that under his leadership, 'the company reached sales of 315 million euros in 2023, with 116 directly operated stores worldwide, becoming a symbol of contemporary luxury made-to-measure.' "Under Rodrigo's leadership, Thom Browne's sales have almost tripled since our acquisition. We thank him for laying the foundation for our future growth," comments Gildo Zegna, CEO of the Zegna Group, which acquired the label in 2018. "Rodrigo's entrepreneurial vision, as well as his essential role in defending Thom Browne's intellectual property rights against Adidas, have helped protect and strengthen the brand's authentic and unique identity," he continues. While Thom Browne has enjoyed exponential growth in recent years, the brand had nevertheless begun to slow down, and this change of guard was to be expected. In 2023, the label saw its sales fall by 17.2% (-20.8% in organic terms), to 314.8 million euros, while its adjusted operating profit reached 27.3 million euros, with a margin of 8.7%, compared with 15.5% a year earlier.
