BILLI-001S - Billiken Selvedge Jeans - Regular Straight
The "Billiken" collection by Studio D'Artisan pays homage to a beloved deity that holds a special place in Osaka's culture. Billiken is much more than a simple symbol; it has become a cultural icon woven into the fabric of daily life in the city. Known for bringing good fortune, academic success, and happiness in matters of love, the deity draws visitors who gently rub the soles of its feet, hoping their dreams will come true. Though Billiken originated in the United States, having been created in 1908 by artist Florence Pretz, it found a lasting home in Japan. The statue carries the inscription, "The God of things as they ought to be," which, when translated into Japanese, reflects the idea of guiding life toward its ideal state. This belief suggests that Billiken helps steer events and circumstances toward how they should naturally unfold. The jacket is for someone who really likes to peacock. These pants are a little more subtle with the little Billiken poking from the pocket and the pocket bags honoring the deity. It's just enough to let you know you're wearing something special without screaming it to the world. 14oz Unsanforized Selvedge Denim One wash treatment 100% Cotton 5 button fly Miniature coin pocket with hidden selvedge ticker and Billiken Embroidery Custom branded rivets and buttons Key hole rivet Hidden back pocket rivets Raised belt loops Chain stitched hems Billiken print twill pocket bags Red Selvedge ticker Billiken gold foil goat leather patch SDA leather patch Made in Japan table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; } th, td { border: 1px solid black; padding: 8px; text-align: center; } th { background-color: #f2f2f2; } Size Waist Front Rise Back Rise Upper Thigh Knee Leg Opening Inseam 29 29.9 10.4 13.8 11.0 9.1 8.1 34.6 30 31.1 10.6 14.0 11.2 9.3 8.3 34.6 31 31.9 10.6 14.0 11.6 9.4 8.5 34.6 32 32.7 10.6 14.0 11.8 9.6 8.7 34.6 33 33.9 10.6 14.0 12.2 9.6 8.7 34.6 34 35.0 10.8 14.2 12.4 9.8 8.9 34.6 36 37.0 10.8 14.6 12.6 10.2 9.1 34.6 38
