About Pistil

Pistil launched in 2003, founded by friends with deep roots in the outdoor industry. They set out to take accessories seriously, and the label remains owner-operated by its founders in Hood River, Oregon. The range covers hats, caps, visors, beanies, headbands, scarves, handwear and bags. Its lighthearted style puts function first. The Fair Isle set draws on classic Nordic knitwear and uses soft merino wool. Sustainability runs through the business: manufacturers share Pistil's criteria on environmental protection, social equity, economic fairness and animal welfare, and the label has eliminated or greatly reduced polybags. Independent outdoor shops such as GearX and Great Outdoor Provision Co. stock the range.
