PENDLETON VINTAGE FIT RIDES SOLO: THE SOLO SHIRT

This is absolutely my favorite Pendleton silhouette (Vintage Fit) and model.  The Solo Shirt is just like your standard slim dress shirt only in extremely soft wool.  I've always loved these shirts from the vintage shop worn with a tie and tucked into a nice pair of chinos or worn as an over-shirt.  Now you can get these shirts new in sizes ranging from XXS to XL.  Enjoy.

THIS WEEKEND: BLACKBIRD RECOMMENDS + FUN STUFF + THE WARDROBE TO MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN

This weekend in Seattle there are a few notable events happening that have inspired us here at Blackbird to head out on the town, and to the green, in our finest springtime gear.

Check out BURP on Twitter and catch all the event details here. All our favorite local food joints will be there, including Dante's Hot Dogs, Veraci Pizza, Verite Coffee, and Cupcake Royale, bouncy toys for the kids and a beer garden for grownups, a movie ("Up"- be honest, you cried) around 8:30, and there are bands playing throughout the day!

Band line up:

Also happening this weekend is the Kentucky Derby, and Tavern Law is celebrating by throwing a party starting at 2pm Saturday and invites everyone to enjoy a frosty mint julep while watching the races. Word is there's a special prize to the best dressed derby-goer...

So in conclusion, if you're heading out this weekend to the park, to the races, or to some darker places, might we suggest a wardrobe refresh?

GIFT IDEA #5: UPGRADING WITH UNCLE BILL

You know what your Uncle Bill is: a hilarious, football-loving, big loud guy with a receding hairline and a bit of a belly who sometimes embarrasses himself at family functions by making inappropriate off-the-cuff statements and belching right behind Grandma. What you don't know is what Uncle Bill wants and needs. If we may make a few pertinent suggestions...

First and foremost, Uncle Bill is the kind of guy who works hard and appreciates food and coffee. Ask yourself, would he tear through a Tuna gift set? Can he appreciate a coffee thermos with a lifetime guarantee? You know the answers to these questions.

Uncle Bill's type is also a guy who shuns shopping excursions of any kind. This makes him primed for a bunch of basic clothing and accessory upgrades. Take a look at his belt - it may be time to replace the one he got his Junior year of high school. Do his socks have holes in them? Does he have a decent shirt, and if so, does it have buttons or is it just a T-shirt that he's only worn three times since its last wash? Does he lose or break his glasses all the time? Maybe he needs a case that'll stand up to his constant and abuse.

Ask yourself some solid questions about your Uncle Bill. Then consider the following options:

Island Trollers - 3 Piece Albacore Tuna Gift Set
DETAILS: This gift set includes three 7 oz cans of Whidbey Island Troll caught Albacore. Each Albacore tuna is troll caught one at a time then bled and frozen at sea for freshness. Island Trollers hand trims and raw packs all cans, cooking them only once, preserving the natural Omega 3 oils. Once you've tried their canned sashimi grade albacore, you'll understand why our customers keep coming back for more.
