Rising Sun & Co. handcrafts indigo clothing that capture the optimistic spirit America is founded on, from a time when jeans were not merely made but crafted. By reviving the tradition of quality American needle work we create only the highest grade of garments. Nostalgic for this golden age of craftsmanship, we labor.
We often think of ourselves as actually working in the early 1900's with our 21st century minds intact. We believe in the meticulous pattern making and sewing techniques employed by master tailors of a bygone era. We believe in crafting garments that are certain to last just like in the old days when clothes were tools that helped people provide a living and build a nation. For us the workmanship is crucial. It's our belief that the sum of all the small details make a world of difference. It is this conviction that sets us apart.
From start to finish, we take extra care to assure a quality product for our patrons. Our patterns are vintage inspired fits and construction techniques that have been tried and true for decades. We prefer using selvage, narrow goods on our garments because of the superior durability of a fabric woven on vintage shuttle looms. We use antiquated machinery that has proven to be the best for crafting a product that outlasts others.
Below is a video about Rising Sun's proprietor, Mike Hodis, that was submitted to a contest to find the hardest working man in America. In it, Mike explains the passion and vision behind Rising Sun's garments that set them apart.
