Riding High
Riding High is a Japanese label specializing in vintage-inspired sportswear and casual basics. The brand emphasizes traditional manufacturing techniques, particularly loopwheel knitting. Its aesthetic draws from mid-century American athletic apparel, focusing on durability, texture, and a timeless, utilitarian subculture rooted in heritage craftsmanship.
History
Founded in 1998 by Mitsuru Horimoto, Riding High emerged during a period of intense Japanese interest in American vintage clothing. The brand utilizes rare, slow-speed knitting machines to produce fabrics with unique textures that modern industrial methods cannot replicate. It occupies a specific niche in fashion history by preserving artisanal production standards. This commitment to historical accuracy and quality has made it a significant contributor to the global heritage menswear movement.
