Monsters Fighting Over Jeans
A denim house could not resist putting its own product at the centre of two classic kaiju battles, and the joke lands beautifully: Ghidorah and Ebirah each make off with a pair of jeans. Velveteen on one face and quilted pink satin on the other give it two quite different moods.
Best for: Godzilla collectors; Japanese denim enthusiasts

A reversible Godzilla souvenir jacket from the Osaka denim house Studio D'Artisan, in which the King of the Monsters and his rivals fight, quite literally, over a pair of indigo jeans. Size 42.
The Piece
The black velveteen face takes its theme from Invasion of Astro-Monster. Across the back, beneath the embroidered title, Godzilla and King Ghidorah grapple over a pair of blue jeans on a yellow alien landscape, with flying saucers, a ringed planet and a pale moon overhead, and the words HEATH LIMITED stitched below. The chest repeats the struggle in two vignettes, Godzilla on one side and Ghidorah clutching the jeans on the other. The rib at collar, cuffs and hem is pale blue with white stripes.
Reverse it and the jacket turns to Ebirah, the giant lobster of the 1966 film released abroad as Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster. On blush-pink quilted satin, under THE SEA MONSTER, Ebirah holds the jeans aloft above a dark green Godzilla, with a palm tree, billowing clouds, a red volcano, the year 1966 and IN YOKOHAMA at the hem. Palm and claw motifs sit on the chest, and the rib on this face is green with white stripes. The satin side has two front pockets.
