The Ranch Hand
Here at Rising Sun we crave the authentic things in life. This is why we often look to workwear of the past for inspiration. There is one iconic worker who had to take lots of abuse and still look rugged and handsome at the end of the day. The Ranch Hand.
Once again, Rising Sun’s Ranch Hand Jacket brings the this rugged charm back to life.
Since we know many of you have been waiting, we are happy to announce them finished just in time for the cold winter weather. This two pocket, pleated jacket, made from our signature brown duck is a timeless piece. We kept the details the same, using tobacco colored contrast duck on the inside of the waist band and the cuffs, and a steel buckle made from bending steel wiring as a back detail.
A brand new in-vest-ment.
As always, we here at rising sun want you to be the dapper gentleman that you dream of being. Well we have a piece here that will stoke the fires of your heart. This piece is so stunning you’ll charm passers-by without saying a single word.
This piece is the Gent Waistcoat. It is crafted from the finest of wabash printed dot stripe selvage canvases. The gent features a flatbusted center back seam with inside selvage detail. The inner pocket is selvage edged with a custom Rising Sun patch. Its deep hunting pockets can subtly hold anything from your safely concealed passport to fresh quail. The chest pocket has been enlarged to perfectly fit your smart phone. This may be a vintage inspired piece but we consider your technological needs. With its plethora of features and hearty duck canvas this rusty beauty will be the pride of your wardrobe.
The Former Farmer
October has ended. Like every year, the seasons continue their slow rotation. Fall always makes me ponder the past. Two-hundred years ago our great grandparents would have spent this time enjoying fall squash and brisk clear mornings. Pumpkins dotted the fields instead of grinning from carved faces. (Fun fact: the carving of jack-o-lanterns didn’t catch on in America until the 1890′s when immigrants from Ireland introduced the custom.) And what were they wearing when carting tottering towers of ripe orange pumpkins? Why a farmer shirt of course! In the spirit of the season we have produced our own take on this classic piece.
Our Farmer Shirt continues the rugged traditions of these pre-1900′s work shirts. Made from wabash printed dot-stripe black selvage twill, it features the half placket pullover design favored by farmers of the time. With it’s bib front and secure chin strap it can stand up to the toughest abuse and protect the wearer from the harshest conditions. Gussets at the side seams feature selvedge edges, while the unique chest pockets mix the formality of welt pockets with the function of flaps. Beautiful mother of pearl fish-eye buttons add the final touch of polish. Our ancestors my not have looked this classy but that’s no reason you shouldn’t.
First Lookbook
On a June morning we decided to gather up a few friends and head out for an impromptu photo shoot. We drove to a friend’s remote ranch in Altadena and started shooting. While drinking beer out of mason jars we were treated to live music by our fellow artists. The entire day, with the place and the clothes, harkened back to a simpler time. The end result was a glimpse into what occurs when like-minded individuals come together for a common cause. Thus was formed Rising Sun & Co’s first lookbook.
The hardcover bound book can be purchased for $50 at the Rising Sun & Co. store in October. For those who love getting mail, shoot us an email to have it shipped right to your door in all its high-gloss glory.
