THIS GARMENT IS PART OF THE LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION OF LEATHER ADORNED CERITH JEANS. THERE WILL ONLY BE 10 PRODUCED IN THIS MATERIAL COMBINATION, EACH GARMENT WILL BE STAMPED WITH A NUMBER OUT OF 10 TO IDENTIFY ITS PLACE IN THIS LIMITED PRODUCTION RUN.    “FOR BOTH THE CERITH JACKET AND JEANS I WANTED TO FOCUS ON A NEW FORM OF REVERSIBLE CONSTRUCTION THAT IS BOTH CLEAN IN LINEWORK, AND CONCEALS HIDDEN MAGIC IN THE DETAILS. FOR THE JEANS, A HIDDEN FLAP CONSTRUCTION CONCEALED WITH FRENCH SEAMS CREATING AN ILLUSION IN THE MECHANICS OF THE CLOSURE TO BOTH THE WEARER AND THE OUTSIDE WORLD. A HIDDEN WAISTBAND THAT CONNECTS THE LEATHER SIDE OF THE JEANS TO THE DENIM ON THE REVERSE SIDE, OFFER A CLEAN TRANSITION BETWEEN THE TWO FACES OF THE GARMENT. THE LEATHER IS FULLY REVEALED ON THE REVERSE SIDE BY A TWO WAY ASYMMETRIC EXPOSED FLY AND ORGANIC WELT POCKETS WITH SHEER ORGANZA POCKET BAGS THAT OVERLAP TO THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE JEANS. A MIND CONTORTING SET OF DESIGN WORK WITHIN THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE GARMENT THAT CONTRIBUTE TO A TRULY REDEFINED PAIR OF JEANS.”   THIS REVERSIBLE CERITH JEANS FEATURE BLACK VEGETABLE TANNED LAMB LEATHER PANELS THAT ADORN THE 12 0Z CONE MILLS DENIM PANTS, OFFERING BOTH ORGANIC WELT FRONT AND BACK POCKETS, AS WELL AS SILK ORGANZA LAYERED POCKET BAGS. THESE JEANS HAVE A TOTAL OF 12 JEANS BUTTON CLOSURES THAT FOLLOW A CURVED ASYMMETRIC REVERSIBLE BUTTON FLY. THE LEGS OF THIS GARMENT ARE SCULPTURE DERIVED, SEAMLINES CASCADE AROUND THE CYLINDRICAL SHAPE REMINISCENT OF HUMAN FORM, THAT CULMINATE INTO THE FINAL OUTCOME OF THE REVERSIBLE PANT LEG STRUCTURE, AND UNCONVENTIONAL NATURE OF THE FRENCH SEAMWORK.  THE OUTSIDE OF THE JEANS ARE ENCASED IN A RIVETED LEATHER ARMOR HIGH WAISTED OUTERSHELL. THE  EXTENDED PANELS THAT FLOW DOWN THE CONTOURS OF THE LEG, PUSH FORTH THE SHIELDED ARMOR CONCEPT, AND THE CAREFULLY PLACED RIVETS ARE REMINISCENT OF A PRESERVATION PROCESS UTILIZED IN DOCUMENTING WINGED INSECT SPECIMENS. A FURTHER DIVE INTO THE ONGOING EXPLORATION OF GARMENTS THAT GROUND AND PROTECT THE WEARER, WE LOOK TO NATURE AND FIND MANY SPECIES OF ANIMALS WEAR SHELLS AS PROTECTION FROM PREDATORS AND SERVE AS MULTIFUNCTIONAL AID TO THE ANIMALS SURVIVAL. A CERITH SNAIL, FOR EXAMPLE INHABITS SHALLOW SEA FLOORS, AND UTILIZES THE STRENGTH AND SHAPE OF ITS SHELL TO BURROW BENEATH THE SANDBED TO PROTECT FROM BEING CRUSHED EASILY WHILE THE SNAIL FINDS FOOD AMONGST THE GRAINS OF THE OCEAN FLOOR. THESE SNAILS LIVE IN RARELY STABLE ENVIRONMENTS YET THEY ARE CONSIDERED RESILIENT AND RESOURCEFUL, ADAPTING TO MULTIPLE FOOD SOURCES SO THIS SPECIES NEVER STARVES TO DEATH WE WERE INSPIRED BY THIS ANIMAL'S ABILITY TO ADAPT IN ORDER TO SURVIVE, SEEKING SHELTER IN AN ARMOR LIKE SHELL, AND DEVELOPING SKILLS NECESSARY TO SURVIVE IN AN EVER CHANGING HARSH ENVIRONMENT.  THIS EXPLORATION HAS LEAD US TO CREATING THIS PIECE THAT ADORNS THE WEARER WITH A LEATHER ARMOR SHELL, A METAPHORICAL NOD TO THIS CONCEPT FOUND IN NATURE, WHILE THE  REVERSE SIDE OF THE GARMENT ALLOWS IT TO BE WORN AS DENIM JEANS THAT BOAST AN UNCONVENTIONAL SIDE SEAM REMINISCENT OF A DORSAL FIN OR ANIMAL LIKE EXTENSION OF THE BODY AMONGST THE DEPTH OF THE DENIM FABRIC. THE REVERSE SIDE OF THESE JEANS ALSO FEATURE 2 ORGANIC WELT FRONT AND BACK POCKETS, THE BODY PANELS FLECKED WITH CONSTELLATION LIKE HARDWEAR FROM THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE RIVETS.
