RISING SUN denim store in Pasadena (LA)

Yeah, good call. If you're bringing the missus you should take her over to Coronado to hit the shops and beach. I usually hit the Del for a beer break.

perhaps some incentive to visit the store? http://risingsunjeans.com/blog/2009/08/10/meet-zoe/

Like out of business closed closed? They are pretty erratic with hours.

that's their blog. it does take some time to load - someone should tell them to downsize their pics.

seems like they're doing more publicity now, especially in japan. you can find the brand featured in japanese shops/magazines. i saw their jeans in the hollywood ranch shop in tokyo going for $650. nice, solid construction but steep price-wise. i guess they're charging for the authentic 1920s vintage design.

Just closed. It happened to me the first couple of times I tried visiting, too. Just weird that it'd be like that at 3pm during the week.

Oh, was that what that was? I thought I had been rickrolled to adultfriendfinder.com . I honestly wasn't sure what I was supposed to be buying but I kept trying to add it to my cart.

I think they close/lock it when they're doing some personal work for customers. There was an old Japanese dude sewing up some jeans in the back today, which you could clearly see. He had someone in front of him. Maybe it was Zoe. <3

really, this thread should be changed to the 'california boardies chat' thread.

All I could think when I saw that picture initially was, &quot;Shell would have had to walk home if Brian saw what was inside the store...&quot;

i thought Zoe Deschanel was doing an instore when I saw the post above ^^^

their hours are erratic, I've walked by during peak hours and would see the door closed and no one inside.

the girl that left in the summer who worked there, she said that the place would close erratically because the owner wouldn't always be there to do the retail part of it. they're still in business though

Went to the store today for the first time, very cool!

Owners nephew was working there at the time, very helpful and friendly. Made sure I saw the back work room where the make everything. Didn't buy anything, but definietly worth the trip if you're in the area.

Also, eat at Elements Kitchen next door, amazing! Had the Lobster, mushroom, and truffle mac n cheese
