The History

Before It Was
Boulder Creek

Boulder and Lorenzo were rival towns a mile apart: one a rough logging camp, the other a would-be high-society outpost. By the time they merged, neither side had won. But while the rivalry was still hot and the hillsides were raw with fresh-cut stumps, the locals just called it Stumptown.

From 1875 to 1885, the wooden flume ran lumber from Boulder Creek to Felton. It was also the gnarliest ride in the valley for the loggers who dared to surf the chute at ungodly speeds. No leashes. No backing out.

Stumptown Supply exists to keep those stories on people's backs. This is gear for the people who know that Boulder Creek isn't just a pitstop on the way to the beach.

Stumptown Supply started behind the counter at The Redwood Keg. David came for the extra shifts - his daughter had college to pay for - and ended up reconnecting with the people who make this place what it is.

He's a special ed teacher by trade, but after enough conversations across the counter, he started digging into the old stories: the flume, the feuds, the drive-in nobody remembers. The shirts are just a way to keep the lore in circulation.

California put a price on this cat's head. From 1907 to 1963, the state paid cash on every mountain lion brought down out of the hills - some estimates put the toll as high as 12,500 - the same arithmetic that had already emptied the canyons of the grizzly. When the bounty finally ended, the killing didn't. The lion went from bountied to unprotected to game animal, three rulings in as many decades, and not one of them was on its side. It took until 1990 for the voters to settle it. Nobody consulted the lion. It got quieter, learned the fog line and the moonless hours and the game trails above the old mill sites, and outlasted every ruling written against it. It's still out there tonight. This one's stitched, not printed. White thread laid into a Richardson 112: cotton-poly front that breaks in like a work shirt and holds the shape anyway, polyester mesh through the back for the long part of an August afternoon on the ridge. Snapback closure, so it fits whoever's reaching for it off the dash. Material: 60/40 cotton-poly front and pre-curved visor, 100% polyester mesh back, 100% cotton sweatband Fit: Structured mid-profile, six panel, adjustable snap, one size Colorway: Black on black, white embroidery The Origin: What the bounty couldn't finish.
