FEATURED ITEM: BILLYKIRK RUCKSACK



Perhaps the ulitmate in backpack/rucksack/lap top bag design, the Billykirk Rucksack is an extra sturdy carryall that will tote your laptop, a change of clothes, some provisions, and have enough space left over to accommodate even more goodies.


But that's not all. Made of super tough waxed cotton canvas and using Horween vegetable tanned leather for its leather straps, the bag is weather proof as well. Its also lined in nylon for easy cleaning and padded for extra comfort.


As if that weren't enough, its hand-made in the U.S.A. and guaranteed to last a damn long time. We've got two left and their days are surely numbered...

SALE ITEM OF THE DAY: BILLYKIRK LEATHER TOTE


You will be hard pressed to not find something at our Ballard, Portland, and web stores right now that is both dangerously discounted and stylishly practical. Billykirk bags, especially this black Horween leather tote with luggage tag, are a prime example.


Billykirk products are handmade in Pennsylvania, USA by highly skilled Amish artisans. Horween leathers are treated with natural oils, beeswax and vegetable based dyes to age with dignity. The combination of the two result in heirloom products that look completely unique, that are built to last, and made within U.S. borders.

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.

BACK IN BLACK - BILLYKIRK


If you missed out on Billykirk last season you've probably been depressed. Cheer up because they are back! Act swiftly as these bags sell out within two weeks.

What we love about the Billykirk Fall/Winter 2012 collection is the rich autumnal color palette featuring cool ash grey and moss green, mixed with warm caramel brown and black. The composition of waxed canvas results in a material that will crinkle and age over time, creating a unique piece that is specific to you and how you wear it. Horween leather pairs beautifully with waxed canvas and adds structure and masculinity creating a perfect accessory for a mans wardrobe. The Schoolboy Satchel is a favorite of ours, and matches the Carryalls perfectly. The mix of warm and cool tones plus leather and waxed canvas is spot on for fall.

If you aren't familiar with the brand, Billykirk offers an incredibly well crafted product that has longevity worth investing in. Whether you consider your style casual or dressy, wear jeans with a button up or a grey tweed suit, you should have a Billykirk bag by your side. The Bray brothers have said, "our product is an extension of your personality." These pieces are specially and thoughtfully made just for you, and we are honored to share them!
