IT ISN'T AUTUMN UNTIL THE LEAVES TURN RED
Here in Seattle, the start of autumn can be a fickle little creature that lures all your warm under-layers back out of the closet, and wraps you up in toasty little shells made of wool and fleece.
Early, on that first hazy morning, you finally come to grips with the idea of summer being over, as you sip your coffee and the rain starts to fall. You pull on your jeans, thick socks, boots, a longsleeve shirt or two, and your favorite scarf- you look smashing- then you head out the door to run some errands.
You're strolling through the supermarket. You're in the checkout line, you glance at the tabloids as the checker scans and the bagger bags, your wristwatch indicates it's just past noon. With a grocery sack in each hand, the doors graciously open for you. You take one step outside, BAM! The rain has stopped, the sun is shining, it's seventy-four and three-quarter degrees Fahrenheit, the humidity is unexpected and unbearable, and you've got a long walk home.

Sound familiar?
The trick for fall is to layer appropriately.
Here's an idea just crazy enough to work: long john bottoms under shorts.

Here's an idea just crazy enough to work: long john bottoms under shorts.
Here I am putting this idea into action. I don't claim the idea as my own, by any means (just look at a picture of our Founding Fathers in any United States history textbook), but I can tell you this combo is a wonderful thing when the weather is capricious at best.

Long johns have other wonderful applications as well.
Throw them on under a pair of brand new raw denim jeans this winter to avoid that painful break-in phase all together. They make great pajamas too!

IN HONOR OF 234 YEARS of AMERICANA, BUY AMERICAN
Hand-sewn shoes still made in America
Photo courtesy of ACL
When the American economy went south, Blackbird made the decision to invest in brands that produced their products in stateside. Our goal was to keep our dollars here which meant we were going to create jobs in our country. At that time, our list of American made brands totaled around 8 but today we boast over 32, and Alden's factory went from a 2 month turn around time to 6 months and Redwing has added more shifts that produce 300 more pair a day. Something is working.
Today seems like the perfect day to celebrate our American made brands and their commitment to rebuilding our economy. Take a moment to acknowledge these brands and support their commitment to America.
