Introducing Timbo

Do you know Timbo, the working brother on the left? Perhaps you have seen him performing at a cool local venue with his band Speedbuggy. He may look stylish decked out in Rising Sun clothing but he knows he does not need to baby our crafted garments. We are inspired by his hard-living lifestyle and will be featuring him on our blog from time to time.

Check out “Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda” below, the cow punk video Speedbuggy recently shot. Timbo is the front man.

Happy Thanksgiving

It is Thanksgiving time and the Rising Sun & Co. team would like to thank all of our supporters for their patronage and encouragement. Thank you for appreciating all the sewing details we so so paintstakingly insist on in our humble haberdashery. Thank you for supporting Made in USA. Thank you for coming to our parties. It has been quite a journey and you have made it worthwhile. Happy Thanksgiving!

Now enjoy this short YouTube clip we found of a Wrangler commercial that aired during the 1986 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. It’s good ol’ Willie Nelson. One day we will ask that man to do a Rising Sun commercial.

Friday was a glorious night of live music, denim discussions, b Now that the party libation has cleared our systems we can give a proper recount of our blues bash last Friday.
