    Hope For Spring: One-Bag Polos Are Back

    One-Bag Polo

    Happy One-Year Anniversary to our One-Bag Polo!

    Launched nearly 365 days ago, it was a long-fulfilled and hinted destiny for one of our most-requested items. While a hopeful summer season is right around the corner, now is the best moment to load up.

    Today, we’re restocked in Black, Heather Gray, CharcoalNavy, and Burgundy.

    A solid member of the Midweight Eudae family, our One-Bag Polos are extremely versatile – no matter what situation you may find yourself in.

    Crafted from TENCEL™, recycled water bottles, and spandex, the One-Bag Polo is naturally antimicrobial/odor-resistant, crazy soft, quick-drying, sweat-wicking, and boasts four-way stretch, so it's ready for anything - from pandemic couch surfing to front yard distanced hangs to work Zoomin'.

    So if you're searching to perfect your sunny beach vibes before the snow even melts, we've got your answer.

    Pistol Lake's Biggest Winners of 2020

    Stretch Terry Hoodie Pistol Lake

    The ball has finally dropped on a challenging 2020 – but before we can change our calendars over to a new year, now is a good time for reflection. The last 12 months have brought Pistol Lake plenty of new experiments, restocks of our classics, and experiences that'll last us a lifetime.

    And while everybody here has their own personal catalog favorites, you do too! Just as they do it in Times Square, we're counting down our top ten best-selling products from 2020.

    1. Minimalist Tee

    Unsurprisingly, this reigns as our unanimous No. 1 champion in 2020.

    Eudae is the future, so, naturally, everybody could benefit from a few colorful, multitalented Minimalist Tees in their overnight bag. 

    We keep these staples restocked year-round and you can snag one today in Black, Heather Gray, Navy, Army, Heather Hunter, Heather Pacific Fog, Heather Brick, Light Heather Gray, and Pacific Fog.

    2. Cotton Henley

    Eudae might be our go-to, but there's nothing wrong with rocking a classic Cotton Henley either.

    Beyond our long-time slate of colors, we just launched three new short-run shades in KelpSapphire, and Agave.

    3. All Things Undies

    Since Thanksgiving, we've stocked up on all of our Minimalist Boxer BriefsMinimalist Boxers, and Minimalist Trunk Briefs in what feels like every possible shade – including Black, Pacific Fog, Navy, and more!

    It might be cheating to put all of our underwear in one spot, but we're making the rules here – so enjoy these pillows for your downstairs while they still last!

    4. One-Bag Henley

    But if you need your Eudae to feel a little heavier and thicker, then the One-Bag Henley is the perfect answer to those prayers. Grab our long-sleeved Eudae masterpiece in Black, Heather Gray, Navy, Charcoal, Burgundy, and Hunter.

    5. One-Bag Tee

    Joining the One-Bag Henley this year in all its midweight Eudae glory is our One-Bag Tee. We launched this flawless new addition during the sweatier days, but it's still rising up the leaderboards every month.

    These wonder threads are here in Black, Heather Gray, Navy, Burgundy, Hunter, Charcoal, and brand new short-run Pacific Fog! 

    6.  Minimalist Tank Top

    Another summertime creation cracks our top-ten and we've been so excited about this one! We experimented with long- and short-sleeved versions of gear for years – but there was one question we kept getting over and over: 

    Well, what if you cut all the sleeves off?

    And, thus, the Minimalist Tank Top was born. If you're preparing for a better year ahead, loading up on these tanks nice and early would be a savvy, forward-thinking idea.

    7. Minimalist Joggers

    the Minimalist Joggers because your life will feel much more comfortable with these bad boys on.

    (But, seriously, sleep in these – we promise that's a stellar idea.)

    8. Stretch Terry Henley

    Of all our 2020 arrivals, the Stretch Terry Henley might be our most comfortable. Made with a thicker weight hybrid TENCEL™️ and French Terry material, these are great for cool winter walks and evening jaunts on the beach.

    9. Minimalist Crew Neck Sweatshirt

    Needless to say, the Minimalist Crew Neck Sweatshirt is rapidly climbing the ladder right into our hearts! This Eclon thriller is a fan-favorite in the outerwear department and it's easy to see why. Stay warm, look classy – can you name a better duo?

    We'll wait.

    10. One-Bag Polo

    Simplified and stylish, the One-Bag Polo is our fashionable answer to bar crawls, bowling, and everything in between. Whether you need something fancier for a late-night first date or want to cruise the slopes in style, we wanted to create a collared shirt that was ready for anything.

    So bring it on, 2021 – we're ready for you! 

    Take Less. Do More. Happy New Year.

    They're Here... The One-Bag Polo

    Pistol Lake One-Bag Polo

    A while back, we let you know about the pre-sale of our One-Bag Polo.

    But in order to actually release them, we wanted to reach a threshold that would guarantee Pistol Lake wasn’t creating unnecessary waste. 

    Today, we’re super stoked to announce that we beat our minimum requirement and realized how excited our community was for a shirt like this. Thus, we made the decision to sew some extras up for those that originally missed out.

    Now available in Navy, Burgundy, and Hunter, the time to shine has finally arrived.

    The One-Bag Polo inherited everything you love about the One-Bag Henley – like its ability to wick away moisture, dry quickly, and stay odor-resistant. But we couldn’t just duplicate any run-of-the-mill Polo, however, so we gave it our own minimalist touch. 

    Relieved of buttons and fashioned with a light collar fusing, this shirt will always stand up without looking stiff or rippled. Not to mention, of course, the One-Bag Polo is crafted from Eudae, our ultra-soft proprietary fabric that often becomes a favorite of anyone who touches it. 

    Snag a polo, grab some sun, and stay safe,
    Pistol Lake
