Pistols At Dawn opens flagship store in new Wintergarden

While ladies revel in the shiny glam-rock interior of new Mecca Maxima and welcome newcomers Camper, Coach and Sambag to the Brisbane shopping landscape, gents will find solace slinking down the quieter indoor lane in the metal-embellished façade of the reopened Wintergarden, now home to local label Pistols At Dawn’s flagship store.

With the added element of a retail location, Pistol At Dawn’s creator Andrew Byrne – also of The Cloakroom – is growing the label’s seasonal potential, designing ready-to-wear pieces with a made-to-measure service, this year’s autumn/winter stylings currently on the racks.

Showcasing amazing fabrics and sartorial detailing in a less serious way than a high-end European designer, the Pistols At Dawn collections are more functional and able to be worn casually. Like the philosophies instilled at The Cloakroom, Pistols At Dawn has made faultless service a top priority.

Creating clothing that works seamlessly in the wardrobe, focusing on both contemporary basics for the working lad and playwear for the weekend affair, keep an eye out for the upcoming unlined navy cotton travel jacket, perfect for rolling up, stuffing (gently, please) in an overnight bag and jaunting off for a weekend away.
