About PISTIL
Pistil is the shared vision of a small group of friends with deep roots in the outdoor industry. We launched Pistil in 2003 to take accessories seriously, bringing sophistication and considered design to this often overlooked category. Pistil remains operated by the original founders, in Hood River, Oregon. We make high-quality hats, caps, visors, beanies, headbands, scarves, and handwear for active, fun-filled lives. Lighthearted style focused on function: that’s what makes a Pistil product.
THE PISTIL LANDSCAPE
Pistil is headquartered in the Pacific Northwest. This stunning region is known for having both a laid-back attitude and a deep wellspring of creative energy. Living and working in Hood River, OR (our forever home), we enjoy close proximity to Oregon’s ruggedly gorgeous mountains and rivers as well as the metropolitan buzz of nearby Portland. This pairing of wild natural beauty and vibrant creativity is what we’re all about. If you’re in Hood River, swing by our Design Studio and Brand Store and check out some of our latest creations or just say howdy.
THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED
We believe the best creative ideas happen through a playful approach to design, but we take the craftsmanship of our products very seriously. Every detail counts — from the shape of a cap’s button to the width of stripes on a scarf. These little things add up to make a hat distinctly a Pistil hat, and a scarf unmistakably a Pistil scarf.
And we live in a naturally stunning and creatively vibrant region, known for its laid-back attitude as well as fresh, innovative energy. It inspires everything we create.
Whether it’s the Spring/Summer or Fall/Winter collection, each season brings something unique. In the warmer months, we focus on sun and fun with hats and accessories designed to keep you cool and comfortable, blocking rays with responsibly sourced materials. As the weather cools, our Fall/Winter collection offers something for every adventure, from cozy morning coffees to high-altitude hikes, with fresh colors, patterns, and graphics in our best-selling styles. Year-round, it’s these thoughtful details that define Pistil.
