Denim in Seattle: Introducing The Blackbird Ballard Hazlewood Jean

When you think of Seattle fashion, somehow brands like Comme des Garçons, Robert Gellar, Odyn Vovk and Rick Owens aren’t the first to come to mind. But, when you walk into menswear store Blackbird, you soon find that you’ve stepped into a menswear style oasis in the charming Ballard district, and you’ll find these progressive brands and more are in stock. Recently, Denim Therapy dropped by to check out Blackbird’s Hazlewood jean, a limited-run (150 pairs each style) of straight leg jeans (in raw indigo Cone Mills denim, “Stolen” Black mid-weight jean, and indigo Japanese nep 13oz denim fabrications). Sales Manager Rick Moe says producing their own jeans was a part of Blackbird’s evolution as a full lifestyle brand. We have to say we’re both pretty excited and bummed that you can only get the Hazlewood at Blackbird stores.
