We’re closing Pistol Lake - thank you for your support
Dear customers,
We are writing this with a heavy heart: Pistol Lake will be shutting down for good. The decision didn’t come easily, but after many months of deliberation, we’ve decided that it is the right course of action.
The shop will stay open for a couple months but inventory is limited. There won’t be any future restocks.
Orders are final sale only; we won’t be accepting returns for any new orders starting today. The final day to initiate returns for orders placed prior to today will be January 31st.
We want to say thank you to each and every one of you for supporting us, providing feedback, chatting with us at our warehouse sales, and passing on the good word to friends. You’ve each been a part of our Pistol Lake family and mission and made it all possible – we can’t thank you all enough! It’s been incredibly rewarding building Pistol Lake with you cheering us on over the past decade.
We started Pistol Lake in 2012 with the intention of creating exceptional men’s apparel ethically here in Los Angeles. Up to this very day, we’ve proudly produced all of our styles locally. We’ve made sure everyone involved in making our products is treated with dignity and offered fair wages. We feel immense pride in staying true to the values that Pistol Lake was built upon.
In spite of the joy we’ve found in growing a small brand here in Los Angeles, it has come with many ups and downs. This past year presented new challenges that have been difficult to navigate as a very small business. Despite a lot of hard work and sacrifices from some really passionate people, we haven’t been able to build a profitable or sustainable business.
A few more logistics:
For any folks that have unused gift cards or a gift card balance, we encourage you to use it right away. Gift cards will continue to be accepted until the online shop is no longer live.
Our pre-owned gear resale site, Reloaded, will continue to be live to buy and sell until February 28th. However, we no longer will offer store credit to sellers. You will be paid in cash for all sales.
Thank you for all of your support on this journey – we couldn’t have made it to this point without you.
Our deepest gratitude,
The Pistol Lake Team
Ryan, Andrew, and William
