Product details

One jacket. One heart.
The Billie is a chore coat for kids who don’t sit still. It’s cut from 100% post-consumer denim rescued fabric that’s already been broken in by whoever wore it first. This one got something extra: an anatomical heart chainstitched in red and butter yellow on the left chest by Sterling Stitching. There is exactly one. When it’s gone it’s gone.
Chainstitch is old-school embroidery. It’s the looping slightly raised stitch you know from vintage workwear and bowling shirts. Each line is steered by hand on a chainstitch machine so no two designs come out the same. That fits a jacket made from reclaimed denim where no two pieces come out the same either.
Why you’ll love this:

One of one: the only Billie with this heart
Anatomical heart chainstitched in red and gold by Sterling Stitching
100% post-consumer denim rescued and pre-softened by previous wear
Boxy hip-length cut with room to layer underneath
Two deep patch pockets (actually functional) and wood buttons
Unisex cut that runs true to size with room in the arms to grow
Ethically made in India built to be handed down not thrown away
TradeUP eligible when they outgrow it

Big heart. Small batch. (Very small. One.)
Note: first image is a mockup using the actual stitching on a version of the jacket that may have slight color differences from the actual jacket. The subsequent two images and video show the actual jacket.
