What to know about The Rite Stuff
Pre-WWII patterns, copied closely
The range is built from vintage archive sourcing and research, reproducing American workwear and sportswear of the 1920s to 1940s rather than reinterpreting it loosely.
Taiwan-run, Japan-made
American designer Bryan Shettig runs the label from Taipei, with production handled in Japan by John Lofgren's workshops using period-correct and deadstock fabrics.
Shirts and knits, not outerwear
The catalogue centres on chambray and hickory-stripe work shirts, henleys, loopwheel tees, work pants and scarves, sold direct and through heritage stockists.
