Come prepared to carry out lots of goodies. Remember, gifts to yourself are gifts all the same.
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.
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.
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.
We here at Rising Sun often fondly dream of the good old days when life was simple and clothes were as rugged as the people who wore them. We are constantly striving to recapture the fleeting memories of old; to hold them close and keep them alive.
Here is a place where reanimation occurs in time for halloween.
”The patched and worn carcases of years past enter the laboratory of Mike’s mind and return to life. We wait, aching with anticipation for the joining of past and present. Blades slice through virgin fabric. Machines roar, punching through the thickest of seams, tracing lines of crimson thread in all directions. Steam billows into the sky with an angry hiss leaving all it has touched crisp and wrinkle-free. With cries of “It’s alive!” and “Don’t forget the rivets” a new piece is born”.
Today, Rising Sun presents to you, the New Darker Engineer Jacket, in the finest 2×1 selvage Cone denim.
