We have been featured in the Japanese magazine Safari. Check it out. Big thanks to all of the Rising Sun supporters in the land of the rising sun (don’t forget we already covered how our name came to be on our blog here).

Here we have pictures showing the fruits of our labor.

The details-focused Blacksmith jean took up the lion’s share of our time. Working with antique sewing machines require care, finesse, and lots of patience. The results make the extra energy we spend very much worthwhile.

The Worker jean continues to be a big hit. Here we have the patches drying after the Made in USA shield stamp was applied.

We raided Mike’s iPhone and found some more pictures from his trip to Tokyo. Japan offers some great meals it seems and the company he kept this time must have nourished his hunger for deep conversations about denim. Among the people he met with are Nobu of Hollywood Ranch Market and Atsu of Stevenson Overall Co.

He spent his time there making sure all our delivered goods are perfect in the stores, absorbing the local culture, working with master retailers, and contemplating denim with others who immerse themselves in the subject. It is our philosophy that just producing and delivering a product crafted with passion, pride, and hard work is not enough. Our dream is to share the knowledge we have obtained along the way that have inspired us to instill rare details into our garments. We hope to get the world excited about authentic stitches from vintage sewing machines and ingenious seam constructions forgotten by the modern minds of mass production. We may seem a bit obsessed with our work but you can be assured every Rising Sun piece is designed and produced with the utmost regard to detail and quality.
