Pistola at CHROME

Nearly 100 Pistola styles at a time: the Lexi mid-rise bowed straight (the fit that started the barrel-leg conversation), the Wes and Eli high-rise barrel jeans, the Cassie super high rise straight, Lennon and Evie crop boots, Lana and Penny wide legs, the Hendrix and Harlowe baggy jeans, Donny rolled-hem boyfriend, Charlie straight, the Saige, Kimora and Gigi shorts, the Parker romper and Jordan zip-front jumpsuit, plus the Sloane oversized button-down, utility skirts, the Tracy moto jacket, the Elin denim shacket and the alpaca-blend and ponte knits. Sizes 23 to 30 in denim and XS to L in the rest, most jeans $148 to $228, and only in-stock sizes show.

Pistola was founded in Los Angeles in 2013 by Grace Na, a 20-year apparel veteran, on one idea: premium denim construction and fabric at a lower price than the labels next to it, for a woman who needs her clothes to work as hard as she does. The line grew out from jeans into the utilitarian pieces here — rompers, cargo pants, shackets — with the same street-smart cut.

Fit: Pistola's mid-rise styles (Lexi, Aleks, Donny) run true; the super high rise (Cassie) and barrel fits (Wes, Eli) are cut with room through the hip and taper at the ankle, so stay true or go down one if you're between. Stretch levels vary — the Vintage and Rigid washes are firmer than the Coated and Vintage Stretch. The jumpsuits and rompers have their own page, and the whole women's denim wall with Agolde, Joe's and Free People.

Questions we get about Pistola

Which Pistola jean is the barrel leg?

The Wes and the Eli are the high-rise barrels; the Lexi is the mid-rise "bowed straight," a subtler version. All three are here in the current washes.

Does Pistola run true to size?

Yes for the mid-rise fits. The high-rise straight and barrel styles have room through the hip; if you're between sizes, size down. The product page lists the rise, inseam and the model's size.
