The Rising Sun Outdoor Vest takes influence from vintage hunting and fishing gear. One of our obsessions is fly fishing, a sport that is every bit as nuanced as crafting garments out of indigo cloth. When Mike designed the Rising Sun Outdoor Vest his passion for fly fishing influenced some of the details. As he was specing out the vest and drafting the patterns he was also thinking about outdoor sports and the need for a well-made, functional vest.

This garment is made on our antique single needle sewing machines and is full of useful compartments that allow easy, fussless access whether on the stream or on the streets.

The rare fabrication chosen–an indigo dyed canvas woven on vintage fly shuttle looms– is a twist on the canvas fabrics that vintage hunting and fishing vests were traditionally made of. The dye fades beautifully to reveal the character of the fabric.
