    News — French Terry

    A French Terry Dream – Pullovers + Hoodies Galore!

    Pistol Lake – Pullover Hoodie

    Here's a genuine French Terry twofer! 

    It's been a hot minute, but our amazingly warm, cozy, and uber-stylish French Terry gear is back – both as Crew Neck Sweatshirts and Pullover Hoodies.

    Our special French Terry is insanely tightly knit and durable, which means you'll have plenty of warmth, no shrinkage, and no loss of shape on your vast adventures.

    The Crew Neck is officially locked and loaded with Charcoal, Heather Gray, and in short-run colors of Burgundy, Alpine, and Mineral Blue. Plus, the Pullover Hoodie is available in two limited colors to boot!

    Bonus: In the spirit of the season, both styles (Hoodie + Crew Neck) are getting a short-run burst of flavor in Sand. It's an off-white with warm gray tones reminiscent of sandy beaches along the Pacific Coast.

    Grab a few for the cooler temps ahead and let us know what you think!

    Get 'Em While They're Hot: French Terry Joggers

    French Terry Joggers Pistol Lake

    If you’re stuck working at home like us (COVID-19 Update), then this might help your personal process in a positive way. 

    Back in January, we did a pre-sale of our French Terry Joggers and they were a huge hit. Since then, we’ve reached our threshold, sewed them up, and, based on the massive interest y'all showed us, made some extras to stock up the shop.

    Our Joggers are made from 11.2 oz tightly wound, soft French Terry that is 100% milled in Los Angeles. They have a ribbed cuff at the ankle, an elastic waist with an improved drawcord tie to improve versatility – plus a brand new mountain logo snap-closure pocket that fits a phone and will keep all your beloved belongings safe.

    Grab a pair in Charcoal, Black, or Heather Gray.

    Brand New: French Terry Joggers

    Pistol Lake French Terry Joggers

    With the recent success of the Minimalist Joggers we released, we're doing a pre-sale for our new French Terry Joggers.

    We're offering them in our classic core colors: BlackCharcoal, and Heather Grey.

    They come with same comfort and cell phone pocket functionality as our original sweatpants, but now with an updated tapered fit and a back pocket for your wallet.

    Basically, you're not gonna want to take them off.

    The rundown: Our Joggers come with a ribbed cuff at the ankle, an elastic waist with new and improved drawcord tie, and a brand new mountain logo snap-closure pocket that fits an iPhone with a case.
