Sleet Drifter Jacket

Like a duster coat Lee Van Cleef might have worn in a sci-fi version of 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly,' this jacket is sinister style and ultimate functionality personified.

Obey Product Spotlight + Obey Feature

Obey's clothing is great on many levels. Nice prices, cool designs, great fits, and all of it originating from the company that legendary street artist, Shepard Fairey founded from a word in the cult sci-fi flick "They Live" and a picture of famous wrestler and actor, Andre the Giant.

At Obey's website, though it is primarily geared to their clothing lines, there is a heavy presence of art and culture. Fairey is after all primarily an artist, so it makes complete sense that the site not only contains artist collaborated-on clothing but also features pages and updates on artists and individuals who inspire us with what they create.

Check out Obey's "Propaganda" page and see for yourself. Be warned: you will be inspired.

FEATURED: BLACKBIRD SOAPS

After the success of our Mt. St. Helen's Soap Set, we decided to expand the concept with a full line of scented soaps. These soaps are made entirely by hand, in small batches, using the best natural ingredients we can find, and are allowed to cure for one month. At the end of that time, we have beautiful bars of soap that are nutrient-rich, help soften skin, and provide wonderful fragrance and lather. As with our other bar soaps, it is a handmade bar of cold-process soap and loaded with good-for-your-skin olive, palm kernel and coconut oils, and are scented with pure essential oils.

FEATURED: BLACKBIRD MOON TOTE

The Moon's prominence in the sky and its regular cycle of phases have, since ancient times, made the Moon an important cultural influence on language, calendars, art and mythology. The Moon's gravitational influence produces the ocean tides and the minute lengthening of the day.

The Moon also has had an influence on our branding and as a result, we present to you the Moon Tote bag. Spacious for any of your needed nocturnal supplies, it's made of durable, heavy duty canvas. Also in our Moon series is our Moon Logo Tee Shirt and the darkly delicious Blackbird Moon Tea. For a full selection of Blackbird goods, please visit our website.
