Perfect for Any Occasion
The OBEYEBO If You See the Buddha: Realization Men's Bomber Jacket is for those who recognize that realization comes not from silence, but through creative confrontation. Wear it boldly—whether on the stage, in the studio, or in meditation on the move.
This isn’t just a jacket. It’s a reckoning—by OBEYEBO and Philip Slagter.
The If You See The Buddha clothing collection by OBEYEBO takes its name and spirit from a
provocative Zen koan that urges seekers to transcend dogma and fixed ideas on their path to enlightenment.
In Philip Slagter's vivid 2019 acrylic painting, this challenge is embodied in a wildly surreal vision of
duality, desire, and illusion—where the sacred and the profane ride side by side. The Buddha is reimagined
not as a still, meditating figure, but as a blue-skinned, many-armed, ecstatic outlaw with a revolver and a
grin that cuts through illusion like a blade. A nude figure reclines joyfully in this deity's lap as they
gallop across a psychedelic Western dreamscape, surrounded by symbols of lust, life, and liberation.
The If You See The Buddha collection channels the painting's rebellious spirit into garments that
blur the lines between sacred symbolism and pop surrealism. Look for prints that mix lotus blossoms and
six-shooters, cowboy boots and cosmic halos, riding the tension between freedom and faith. This collection
is perfect for spiritual iconoclasts, cosmic cowboys, and anyone who dares to question authority—especially
the internal kind. These are clothes for the road you walk alone, when you're not afraid to pull the trigger
on your illusions.
