SALE ITEMS OF THE DAY BY BETA UNIT

With a focus on unconventional functionality, finishes, engineering, fit and wearability, Beta Unit is an independent clothing label based out of Encinitas, California. As a small group of designers who grew up in the 80's and 90's, inspiration is drawn from the unintentional art caused by imperfections and limitations within technology as seen in primitive computer graphics, ancient photography, broken fax machines and malfunctioning code.

NUANCES OF JULIUS

We here at Blackbird are one of the only stores—if not the only—in Seattle that carries pieces by Julius, designed by one Mr. Tatsuro Horikawa. We found this article on a tip from one of our salesman—Nico—and it's well worth reading if you're familiar with Horikawa's work. Even if you're not, read up and stop by the 'bird for a firsthand peek at some of this stuff in our new "Top Secret Upstairs Store." It's as practical and wearable as it is strange and idiosyncratic—a confluence of the anomalous and familiarity.

LIGHT 'EM UP: VINTAGE PIPES AT THE FIELD HOUSE

We at The Field House have collected an assortment of vintage pipes and various pipe-related appurtenances for your puffing pleasure. For those in the habit, or those simply aiming to do gramps proud, we've got you covered. If you're looking for some habits to accompany pipe ownership, you might consider looking into claw-hammerin' banjo, stick whittlin', kickin' up dust and hollerin' at whippersnappers. At the very least, The Field House can get you started with a new (old) pipe.

First off, the piece de resistance:









DETAILS: Cream-colored meerschaum pipe of mysterious provenance, resembling a flower. For those that are unfamiliar with this material, meerschaum is a lightweight and malleable mineral, commonly found in the Black Sea. However, deposits of this clay-like stuff are also found in Pennsylvania, Morrocco, Spain and a few other strange locations (thanks, Wikipedia). Wherever this hand-carved ivory bud finds its origins, it's certainly a beauty. The shapely, leather-covered, rusty-clasped case seen in the pictures is included.
$147.00









Vintage Chalkware Pipe Stand with Bear
$129.00




Vintage Smoky Mountain Wood Pipe
$39.00







Vintage Scottish Terrier Pipe Stand
DETAILS: This obedient little guy is so irrepressibly adorable, we couldn't help but to name him Scottie Pipe'n. Name change welcome (and dependent) upon purchase.
$46.00




Vintage Big Ben Pipe from Holland
$89.00




Vintage Royal Duke Import Briar Pipe
$90.00
