It has been awhile since we have posted some detailed pictures of our shop and since we just did some rearranging I thought now would be a good time. Of course these iPhone pictures don’t do it justice, you really need to stop by and see the place for yourself.
The Yukons are our most period accurate waist overalls that we make here at Rising Sun. If you know anything about us and how we do things then you know that makes these some very period accurate trousers. These are a Rising Sun original that wouldn’t look out of place on the shelf of a general store in the 1890′s. We are just putting the finishing touches on a new batch Yukons here in our shop and I though you might like to see some of the process.

Well hi there. I’m the new guy. The amazing underling. The gopher. The one who does the little things with pleasure while soaking up all the knowledge I can find! I’m a summer transplant from New York who is out in Los Angeles to entrench myself in LA’s vibrant denim culture. I have but one year of study left at Cornell University as an apparel design student who focuses on menswear in general and denim in particular. Denim is the love of my life. It’s that simple.
My name is Jesse F. Ruoff and this is my post.
That’s me right there, wearing our signature Engineer jacket. There are only six left so grab one if you want one! Hey, it’s no shirt off my back…oh wait, yes, yes it is exactly that. But all of our jackets go to good homes. How can they not? They’re great jackets for great people just like, hmm…oh I don’t know, you perhaps? Yes you. No, not that guy reading your screen over your shoulder, you.
A little habit of mine is to make bracelets out of the scraps of whatever I’m working on at the moment. The leather is from a personal bag project while the indigo selvage was leftover from constructing the Engineer jackets. My whole arm would be covered if the bracelets didn’t break, get lost, or become nasty. I’ll get there eventually!
Look, new bags!
All of us here at Rising Sun have been fans of Archival Clothing for years. Rising Sun has been in contact with Lesli and Lynn, the ladies of Archival, and they are amazing. We share the same commitment to traditional quality and American craftsmanship. Our paths crossing was quite inevitable and it has finally happened! A limited quantity of Archival Clothing bags are now available in our Pasadena shop and are disappearing as quickly as they came.
When I saw these bags I was blown away by the quality and simplistic detailing that belies their utilitarian sensibilities. Who wants to look like an authentic bad-ass sporting a wax cotton rucksack? Me. Oh, and everyone else too. If you can get a hold of one of these bags, do it. Don’t wait. Life is too short to settle for bags that don’t repel water or use locally sourced materials to support the American craftsman and thus single-handedly uphold the American dream!

Long overdue and after many requests we have put together a summer catalog. There are some new styles that will be available later in the summer. Check it out and contact us for availability.
Well I know that we mentioned some time ago that we were going to be getting in some special one of a kind ties by Otis James. Well they are here and they are brilliant. Ottis is a bright young tie maker from Nashville that makes all of his ties himself one by one, and goes so far as to do all the hand lettering on the ties. Mike and Ottis spent about an hour working on the basic tie designs as he wanted something exclusive and new for Rising Sun. There combined efforts produced some of the finest ties you can buy.
Notice the selvage detailing running diagonally down the tie. The unique bias detailing is proprietary to Rising Sun. This detail is available on both the chambray tie and the denim tie.
Also of note is the field bag in the display case. This is a field bag made by Archival Clothing in Eugene, Or… More info on these bags to come.
Here is our friend Christian wearing his Rising Sun selvage apron on the job at Intelligentsia Coffee.
Christian is no stranger to being photographed in Rising Sun gear.
Thanks Christian!
