Orvis Collection
We are privileged to be a part of a curated collection of American-made garments for Orvis, the outdoor outfitters. Fifteen years ago, Mike was fly-fishing in Alaska wearing an Orvis Wading Jacket, little did he know then; that sometime in the future, his two passions would come together. We are honored to be presenting these [...]

Hodis in a ’34 driving through the mountains Julian in his Engineer Jacket, Outdoor Vest, and Indigo [...]

Spring is in the air and there is no better suited garment for the crafted workwear/outdoor fiend than a Rising Sun Outdoor Vest. This single needle constructed vest is made on our prized black head Singer. It is a little different than other black head single needles out there but we will get into that [...]

We have been swamped with production for stores carrying Rising Sun in Japan where we are now more popular than ever. Here we have pictures showing the fruits of our labor. The details-focused Blacksmith jean took up the lion’s share of our time. Working with antique sewing machines require care, finesse, and lots of patience. [...]

I am not talking about the workwear brand. Not the clock tower bell either, although Ben Phillips is from the UK. He made a special trip to see us and we thought our meeting deserves recounting. On the lazy Pasadena morning after Christmas, while workers of Rising Sun and other local institutions were at home [...]

So when we heard about a denim designer so obsessed with craftsmanship that he went through gold mines to dig up the century-old jeans worn by the workers, we knew this was the guy you'd want cutting and sewing your next pair. Namely Mike Hodis of Rising Sun & Co. Jeans, a cult label that crafts each pair of dungarees by hand in a three-man workshop in Pasadena, available exclusively at AB Fits.

Timbo is a sleeve-rolling, guitar-playing, fast-thinking, handy dandy carpenter. We dig his cow punk music. We like his easy style. He is stylish without needing to try. It helps he is often found decked out in Rising Sun clothing for its built-to-last construction. This is Timbo. Hear him roar. And croon. Those sighing sounds are [...]

Do you know Timbo, the working brother on the left? Perhaps you have seen him performing at a cool local venue with his band Speedbuggy. He may look stylish decked out in Rising Sun clothing but he knows he does not need to baby our crafted garments. We are inspired by his hard-living lifestyle and [...]
