BLACKBIRD FEATURED ITEM - OUR LEGACY HOBO COAT

The era of the yegg. Salt Chunk Mary and the Johnson family. Hobo codes and bindlestiffs. Migratory worker, vagabond, restless tramp, the wayfaring stranger. Riding the rails, eating mulligan stew out of a tin cup by the fire. Sleeping under cover of the moon under California blankets. Balling the jack out of town behind the eight ball with the big sleep close behind you. The inspiration we bring to you with this coat is as modern as it is archaic. Your own life’s course is for you and no one else to decide.

From Our Legacy comes this totally rustic return to hobo outerwear of the early twentieth century. An overcoat to literally live in until the weather starts to turn the other way come next May. At it's base, its a navy blue herringbone tweed coat made from an 80% wool 20% nylon blend. Features include wide notched lapels, a four button front closure, slanted double welt front pockets with flaps, and one-piece raglan sleeves with tucks at shoulder. Inside is a quilted nylon body and sleeve lining with single interior patch pocket. Wear this top coat over a cashmere sweater or a pair of dirty overalls. Walk in it with an ivory handled cane or a bindle. Either way, you'll look like a million bucks to us.

BACK IN BLACK: CIRE TRUDON SPIRITUS SANCTI CANDLE

Back in Blackbird is the religious experience to your nose that is Cire Trudon. Though all of their candles deliver the goods with rapturous notes and scintillating scents, there is one that is just for you. Stop by our Apothecary in The Field House and sniff around for the evidence.

The Spiritus Sancti Candle is a holy union where flickers of crimson, gold, and olibanum waft reverently into a holy perfume of altar candles and the luxurious wake of censers filled with burning amber. Under the nave the choir jubilates, heavenly scents caressing their souls.

BLACKBIRD FEATURED ITEM - BILLYKIRK PADDED LAPTOP FLIGHT BAG

Billykirk bags are infamous for not only their top grade components but also for the bad ass Amish craftspeople that make these beauties by hand. Another feature is that the more the bag sees use, the more rugged and one of a kind the patina of the waxed canvas and Horween leather gets. The end result is a bag that is an immediate conversation piece and that can take a licking and keep on ticking. In fact, we bet it could even survive the old Samsonite Gorilla test...

This bag's features include a 100% cotton waxed canvas shell in grey, two adjustable Horween leather handles, padded interior lined in heavy duty nylon, interior zip pocket, and Horween leather bottom. Measures: 16.5" x 18"

20% off today only!

Billykirk products are handmade in PA, USA by Amish artisans. Horween leathers are treated with natural oils, beeswax and vegetable based dyes to age with dignity.

BLACKBIRD FEATURED ITEM: OUR LEGACY ZIP BOOT

Our Legacy's aim is " to create timeless garments in a natural, well-dressed, and comfortable way... not over-strained, nor too fashion driven; conservative but playful and relaxed in expression; sophisticated yet light and nonchalant; made to look thrown together in a perfectly natural way..."

Our Legacy makes timeless styles of clothing for the modern post-preppie. What's that? Well, someone who likes to dress up but in such a way that the effect is not dressed up at all - sort of a casual formality in an outfit's appearance. The clothing they make has been a favorite of ours since we began carrying it (see our multiple blog posts on any number of their items).

What most of you might not know is that they make limited runs of high quality men's shoes and boots. The Zip Boot in black calfskin is one of their quintessential footwear styles that goes as easy with a trouser as it does with a cuffed pair of jeans.

NEW AT BLACKBIRD - MARK MORRISROE

Mark Morrisroe was an extremely prolific performance artist and photographer within his short lifetime. He founded Dirt Magazine, performed in drag as Sweet Raspberry (a character of his own creation) and pushed the early limits of x-ray, polaroid, and zerox as art. By the time of his death in 1989, he had turned a dark and tragic childhood and adolescence (he was born to a drug-addicted mother and began hustling at 15) into a prolific and stellar body of work.

This publication is illustrated with more than 500 images, some of which have never been seen before, and is accompanied by newly commissioned essays and an extensive biography. For anyone interested in the maverick fringes of contemporary art, the creations brought forth from it, and the artists that dwell there, this book is a definitive biography of an underground genius who wrestled his demons and won.
