Rising Sun Jeans Company

What it is: A company that makes unique custom-made jeans.

Why it's cool: Rising Sun is like the new Levi Strauss—their modern jeans are composed of all quality, hand-cut fabrics and sewn by a person on a sewing machine. There's no factory, no conveyer belt assembly line, no robots, and all products are made in America.

They do, however, maintain a certain back-in-the-old-days appeal (many of their sewing machines date back to the 1920s), and they believe in crafting clothing that will last. While they do custom jeans in-house, they also make and sell jeans in standard store sizes.
