About Crooked Jaw Fashions and its creator, Craig French
French had left his full-time job to devote himself to Crooked Jaw. His business partners are Deniz Tanbasi and Michael Prahalis.
Crooked Jaw Fashions Shark Tank Pitch
In the pre-pitch video shot in Long Island, French introduces himself and his company to the viewers. He speaks of the origin of the name Crooked Jaw which is based on a broken jaw injury he had while playing lacrosse in college. French is eager to seek the Shark’s knowledge, especially Daymond John. At the time of the video, French is living with his mother in order to keep the business afloat.
French, his business partners, and a model enter the Tank, seeking $200,000 for 20% equity. French’s Crooked Jaw clothing line is targeting young MMA fans. He tells the Sharks he sold 1,500 units. His products are being sold to local surf and ski shops on Long Island and has recently started an online retail store. Kevin Harrington sees the red shirt with the demented clown face and wants to have a close-up look; French shows the shirt to the Sharks.
Robert Herjavec asks Daymond how many guys are out there selling T-shirts like French and Daymond 
Daymond is pointing out that neither he or the company is standing out. However, French believes that receiving the needed money will allow him to reach retailers and greatly expand the brand. French then quotes from the tag included on his products:
“There’s no easy way to achieve what I desire most.”
“Perseverance will allow me to fulfill my dreams.”
“No one can stop me from what I want to accomplish.”
To emphasize his disbelief of a profitable Crooked Jaw, Kevin O’Leary retorts by “quoting” a stack of bills:
“I’m money. I don’t give a damn. I just want more money.”
Daymond isn’t into Crooked Jaw because French has merely put out product and built little from that. When Robert asks how many sales Crooked Jaw made, French replies that they made a “very insignificant” amount: $5,000. Robert, stating that French is “crashing and burning,” is out. Harrington is also out.
The Sharks are asking Daymond if he, as the clothing guy, will do a deal. Daymond says French is nobody to everybody thus he’s out. Barbara is also out.
Kevin O’Leary likes French’s story, but doesn’t see Crooked Jaw as a money-making business; he and the other Sharks are all out. Kevin wants to buy some of the Crooked Jaw products and asks French how much they cost. French isn’t taking Mr. Wonderful’s money because the merchandise presented at the Tank is a gift to the Sharks.
In the post-pitch interview, French says he’s disappointed and sad, but won’t let the Sharks’ rejection stop him.
