We are just implementing international shipping. It has been really cost-prohibitive previously. UPS is $76, Priority is $32, we've figured out some cheaper options, but we want to make sure everything we offer is at prices we'd p

The section of My Profile was our first stab at taking in measurements, but we're refining it and making the UX much better. We'll definitely let you know when it launches.

This is -exactly- why we're doing what we're doing. What is your body type, if you don't mind me asking? Would love to see where you fit in our size scale and shoot you a shirt.

Great idea! Shoot me an email at will@pistollake.com and I'll get some measurements from you and work on the pattern. Our XS fits 5'6" well, but we haven't tested to see where it starts to become too long. Here are a few

Sorry about that! What're you trying to order and to what country? We'll get to the bottom of it.

Thank you for the support! I wish I could return the favor! The reality is that many people are served really well by standard sizes - but there are huge pockets of people that aren't, and that traditional retailers choose not to accom

1. We just hit $10K, our goal was at least $5K, which is the minimum to place an order for 16 rolls from the mill. 2. Most people are adequately covered by the standard 6 sizes. Ours fit particularly well - how a shirt should. It is a lot a

What'd you get? We had some quirks with the polos, but overall, I'm really proud of how well the first run came out. We're going to continue to make improvements every batch, so let me know if you have any things you'd l

Check out the new henley - it is a one-of-a-kind. I may be biased (I'm a co-founder of Pistol Lake :) ) - but I've never had so many compliments on a shirt before.

Killer - we aim to please. The question is.. was it lagoon blue? :)

Hey Brian, of the partnerships you mentioned, or any others, what is a good example of a deal that killed it for both parties? Any 1+1 = 10 kind of deals come to mind?

something that can't be understated is the strength of the founding and core team, which attracted a world-class engineering team etc. smart, driven people want to work with people they respect and there were (and still are) a lot of baller

We loved From Holden as well; we grew up there and it meant a lot to us. We might have been able to contest the C&D but at the end of the day, those guys have done exactly what we are doing -- poured their blood, sweat, and tears into b

Well then, hopefully we can win you over with quality products, a great value prop, and a nice design and brand aesthetic!

Very interesting concept -- handicap theory. At the end of the day, we're confident our craftsmanship will speak for itself and will be what matters most, and the data from the survey did a lot to calm our own doubts about a name that we we

You mean a link on the blog.pistollake.com index page or within each blog post? Just added to the index page. Thanks for the heads up!

Glad you like the name. We bought the variations we could think of and we'll redirect them soon!

Why don't you think it'll go over well? We're backpackers, conservationists, and tree-huggers ourselves. :)

Dan, we'd love your support. We're sizing for small to extra large on this first run with a couple fits/micro-sizes, including one specifically for the Governator and the tall/lean, which are typically overlooked by apparel companies.
