Our story · Eugene, Oregon · Est. 2005
Born in the field. Made by hand. Inspired by every season.
Sun & Rain Works is a heritage agricultural apparel brand rooted in real farming experience, handmade artistry, and Pacific Northwest culture.
The beginning
A Saturday Market booth and a screen print frame.
Sun & Rain Works began in 2005 in Eugene, Oregon — right in the middle of one of the most vibrant Saturday Market cultures in the Pacific Northwest. It started simply: handmade t-shirts, original artwork, and the belief that clothing could carry a real story, not just a graphic.
The first designs were screen-printed by hand. The first customers were the people who came looking for something genuine — something that felt handcrafted and connected to where they lived and what they grew.
That original spirit hasn't changed. Sun & Rain Works has always been built around authenticity: real experience, real places, real seasons, made into something you can actually wear.

Nearly two decades in the field
We didn't study agriculture. We lived it.
The founder spent nearly two decades working across farms, orchards, and growing operations — from lemon and avocado orchards in Southern California to rows of kale, spinach, and lettuce in the Pacific Northwest.
This wasn't borrowed inspiration. It was daily life: early mornings, muddy boots, the smell of citrus in the heat, the weight of a harvest bin, the quiet satisfaction of watching something grow.
From the harvest
The orchards and fields that made us.
Citrus orchards in Southern California — one of many crops in nearly two decades of fieldwork.
Handmade craft & fine art
From the orchard to the canvas.
Alongside the fieldwork, there was always art. Fine art, screen printing, the kind of creative work that's made with hands and takes real time. Saturday Market culture in Eugene is built around this — makers who take craftsmanship seriously, who show up week after week with something they've genuinely made.
Sun & Rain Works grew out of that world. The same hands that worked the harvest rows also stretched canvases and mixed colors. Every design tries to carry a little of that ethos: thoughtful, handmade-feeling, unhurried.
We believe the best designs come from lived experience — not from a mood board, but from actually being there. In the field, in the studio, at the market booth, in the rain.
Pacific Northwest roots
Shaped by rain, old growth, and seasons that actually change.
Eugene, Oregon sits at the southern edge of the Willamette Valley — where farm fields meet the edge of old-growth forest, where the rain comes in for months at a time, and where people take growing things seriously.
This landscape shows up in everything Sun & Rain Works makes: the color palette drawn from fog, forest, and harvest gold; the seasonal storytelling; the moody, weathered-but-hopeful aesthetic. It's not a style choice. It's where we live.
What we stand for
The values behind every piece we make.
Authenticity
Real agricultural roots and lived experience matter. We make things that come from somewhere real — not from a trend report.
Craftsmanship
We celebrate handmade culture, artistry, thoughtful design, and independent creativity. Slow work done well.
Sustainability
Earth-conscious living and appreciation for natural systems. We encourage choices that are good for the soil and the seasons.
Community
We make apparel for growers, gardeners, makers, and market-goers. The people who care about what grows next.
The collection
Made for the people who care about what grows next.
Today, Sun & Rain Works makes nature-inspired apparel through Printful print-on-demand, rooted in those years of fieldwork, art, and market culture. Every piece is a nod to something real — a harvest season, a Pacific Northwest morning, a garden in full growth.
