Nestled on a quiet little corner in Old Pasadena sits Rising Sun & Co. Indigo Goods, a denim and duck (cloth) shop and haberdashery. If you have an appreciation for denim history, tailoring and vintage furnishings, you’ll want to hang out here. Currently on display in the window is some frontier-inspired denim wear: a dress, workwear jeans and shirts. An imposing fur coat stands in the foreground to modern slim and straight leg selvedge jeans folded on wooden pallet tables. Scroll down to the end to see a tailor at work on someone’s jeans inside the back room haberdashery!
Stay tuned for our up-close interview with the folks behind this super cool shop.

The largest location of the Yellow Rat Bastard chain resides in Soho, NY. The urban street wear line based the concept of their store on a Sin City comic, so the graphic details and dark windows make a lot of sense. We did see some pops of colored denim and some fun back pocket stitching detail, like the Union Jack and a bunch of dancing skeletons. Converse sneakers were pinned up one side of the wall and mannequins stood three-wide dressed in layered urban-winter attire. We do admire their consistency.

Madewell in Soho, NYC always goes above and beyond the call of generic window display, with crafty, kitschy, vintage inspired concepts. From their jars full of metal sewing notions to the vintage film cameras and spools of yarn, we get inspired just peering through the glass. This time around we found hand-dipped spoons in different hues of paint strung in the windows—such a charming touch! And of course, there were highly tempting jeans in the window too.
