Contemplating Japan from this vista
Mike Hodis walking around Tokyo
We raided Mike’s iPhone and found some more pictures from his trip to Tokyo. Japan offers some great meals it seems and the company he kept this time must have nourished his hunger for deep conversations about denim. Among the people he met with are Nobu of Hollywood Ranch Market and Atsu of Stevenson Overall Co.
With Nobu and Atsu, Food and Drinks
Seafood Delicacies

Meet Levi
Levi's accoutrements
Two days a week a gentleman by the name of Levi (real name) works in our haberdashery. The other days he rides and sells motorcycles (Harleys) while breaking in a pair of Rising Sun Blacksmith jeans. Wear marks are beginning to form. In due time his jeans will have a beautiful fade pattern with gorgeous traintracks and all. His inside leg seam already has a mark from the hot motor.
Come in the shop and shoot the bull with Levi. He enjoys talking about vintage, denim, and motorcycles.

From Rising Sun & Co. Archive to My Freedamn! 8
We have known Rin Tanaka for some years now. His My Freedamn! books explore fashion from categories like motorcycle, Rockabilly, Hawaiian culture, Hippie, and even Grateful Dead tees. Through photography he documents how Americans do Americana.
My Freedamn! 8 is another fantastic volume that colorfully depicts 1960s Pop Fashion with clothing from surf, motorcycle, car, and other cultures. We were grateful that he featured some pieces from the Rising Sun & Co. Archive in the new book.
