We have spent the past few months developing these Watch caps, and finally have them down to the point where we are proud to add them to our Fall collection. These Watch caps are similar to those worn by Navy men during WWII. The ribbing around the edge and stitching is key when it comes to fit and look. We have developed them in seven different color-ways and patterns…all very cool.

We are selling all solids at $55 and patterns at $60. Get em while they’re fresh!

Check out our Handsome Coffee Boy Doug wearing his…

Rise at shine at Handsome Coffee House

admin — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 17:19:08 +0000

Tyler Wells of Handsome Coffee Roasters has been a friend dating back to our Old Town Pasadena days, being the passionate and driven person that he is, teamed up with two friends to open their own coffee company. Handsome Coffee sells some of the best hand selected fresh coffee beans from all over the world.

We have been watching the progress of their new coffee shop over the past few months, recently we stopped in, and were quite impressed with the look and feel of the place. The aesthetic of the coffee house is very much so similar to ours.

Our photographer was in town for a few days, we thought why not seize this opportunity to have a collaboration between Rising Sun and the boys at Handsome Coffee. They are definately a bunch of cool cats and we thank them for their support.

Hey guys! On the recent Rose Bowl Sunday, we had the privilege of having some of the most outstanding individuals in the industry who stopped by for a visit. We were hanging out with Aki Iwasaki who is the creative director of Red Wing Shoes, Japan. We also had Ouigi Theodor in the house… the creative director of The Brooklyn Circus! Emmett Harrell who is a longtime designer and co-founder of Akademiks and his offshoot line PRPS also joined us. Julian Imrie of Julian Boots who is well known for his well crafted boots, and Adam and Amy Lafferty from Libero Ferrero, responsible for their luxury leather bags. Here are some pics of our day!

Newest Edition to the Rising Sun Family

admin — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 06:56:54 +0000

The newest edition to the Rising Sun work shop is a vintage Union Special 35700 Feed off the arm Chain Stitch Felling machine. We rebuilt it and are about to put it into use.

This machine is the workhorse that made your 1930s-1950s era work shirts. It also sits on the original Union Special table, with original folder.

The machine has a very rare 3/16s of an inch gauge set. This will stitch the same double needle stitch that the most sought after vintage work shirts have.

Henry Ford said, ” you can have any color you want, as long as its black…”

We will be producing a limited run of Chambray work shirts in the coming weeks utilizing this machine for the Fell seams. Stay tuned.
