hey all! I started Pistol Lake because I wanted to make a difference.
Growing up a lot of my family sewed shoes in Maine, and the industry provided a lot of people livelihoods. That manufacturing has all but left America, but we think that if we bring advances in technology, textiles, and manufacturing into apparel, we can not only make fundamentally better things -- but also bring a lot of opportunity to a lot of people.
Our goal in creating our new fabric, Eudae, was to create something that lets you pack light, travel more, and consume less. Something that looks natural, but performs -- to allow you to travel the world with just a single backpack. The fabric is soft like silk, but rugged enough for any adventure, and it's insanely breathable and moisture-wicking. It's a blend of fibers made from recycled bottles and the pulp of Eucalyptus trees.
Now we're going to build a small, but technically-advanced, factory here in Los Angeles, so we can take the next big step toward our goals of not only make gear that let's us live active, adventurous lives, but also allow us to make a big impact on everyone that makes the things we wear.
I'll be around all day if anyone has any questions or wants to shoot the shit. I built tech companies for a while before Pistol Lake and am happy to talk about manufacturing, textiles, apparel, or the shift from building tech companies to making physical things.
