FROM OUR MERCHANT IN RESIDENCE, NORM SAJOVIE

ORIGINAL HUBERD’S SHOE GREASE (7.5 oz, $9):

“Waterproofs and conditions my work boots—and smells real good!  Since 1929, the original pine tar and beeswax formula. Contains no animal fats or tallow, preserver additives, or synthetic compounds. Comes in a metal can, as most good things do.” —Norm Sajovie


TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT FROM MIR04

SAJCAT TSHIRTS (screenprinted by hand, various sizes, $15):

“When I was in seventh grade growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, my classmates nominated me to draw a picture of a wildcat—our school mascot—for the cover of our yearbook. Stoked that they had chosen me, I ran home as fast as I could and busted out my Magic Markers. It was a tough assignment. I ended up working through the night at the foot of my bed in dim light, drawing dozens of wildcats while my little brother slept. I can’t remember if I drew what I imagined a wildcat looked like or used a photo from the encyclopedia for inspiration, but the end result was embarrassingly awful, especially considering how much work I had put into it. My stomach hurt. I expected the worst. I thought everyone would be disappointed. But I signed it SAJ—my nickname at the time—and presented it later that morning anyway. To my surprise they all thought it was rad and voted to put it on the cover.” —Norm Sajovie

TONIGHT! TONIGHT! TONIGHT! TONIGHT! TONIGHT! TONIGHT! TONIGHT! TONIGHT!

As you might know, Norm is not only the kindest soul in Portland but he also always knows of the best music, films, and everything else before anyone else. Seriously! Now you can get a special glimpse into his private world as we proudly presents the unveiling of his Merchant in Residence tonight, 6-8 p.m.

SUNSHINE’S BEST ACCESSORY

This weather has us falling in love all over again with our signature scent from OLO. With notes of lemon, rose, jasmine, and sandalwood, Nationale 6/7 is like spring before spring—kinda like that bright blue sky in February, I guess (9ml/$40).

Also, for all the out-of-town fans, Nationale 6/7 is once again available from our online shop. Apologies for the delay while we moved websites…
