GOVERNOR GENERAL WEARS COPPLEY AT ROYAL WEDDING

His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston and his wife, Sharon

On Friday, April 29, while everyone was feting the Royal newlyweds, we at Butch Blum found an additional reason to raise a glass - the Governor General of Canada, His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston wore a Coppley morning coat, vest, and striped trousers - all items available through Butch Blum in Seattle. It was almost like dressing him ourselves, although that honor was fulfilled by venerable Canadian department store Harry Rosen.  Cheers to the Royal couple, and cheers to the Governor General - obviously a man of excellent taste.

If you'd like a morning coat similar to His Excellency's, we are more than happy to help out. Pricing is comparatively reasonable - between $1500 and $2000, depending on fabrics.

LINEN? IN SEATTLE?

Shoe - Timberland Boot Company - $250

It's no secret that we LOVE linen at Butch Blum - it's a terrific fiber that can be woven or knit in dozens of interesting ways, and it's relatively easy to care for, wear, and enjoy. The trick is learning to love the texture - crinkled, wrinkled, scrunched, it's always going to give your outfit that beachy softness that summertime is all about.  April showers bring May flowers - why not wear a linen outfit when picking them?

AS SEEN ON TV - COURTNEY COX'S JPG TANK TOP

Tank top - Jean Paul Gaultier - $275

Check this out - this little tank top, made in Italy of a semi-sheer double layer of polyamide by Jean-Paul Gaultier, is a super cute way to perk up a spring outfit. Apparently Courtney Cox thought so too, because she wore it on this week's episode of ABC's sitcom Cougartown.
