Model: Hagen Relaxed (W33 L34) Material: 100% Cotton, Japanese Denim Production: Handcrafted in Los Angeles Wash: Medium-to-dark indigo with pronounced whiskering and patched repair accents Pockets: Unique rear patchwork with striped and solid denim inserts Lining: Signature black-and-white gingham pocket bags Hardware: Branded rivets and donut-style fly buttons engraved “Cult of Individuality” Construction: Chain-stitched hems, red accent stitching on waistband seam Closure: Button-fly Likely from the early-to-mid 2010s (circa 2012–2015) when Cult of Individuality’s “Hagen” and “Rebel” lines defined their artisanal identity. The brand used small-batch Japanese denim for limited runs - usually from Kaihara Mills, known for its consistent indigo depth and break-in fade patterns. The finishing in Los Angeles adds to the brand’s premium cachet. Unlike many L.A.-washed jeans, Cult of Individuality’s Japanese denim runs were low-volume, hand-finished, and fabric-driven. Collectors prize this line because it represents a bridge between Japanese selvedge heritage and modern American design — similar in philosophy to PRPS, RRL, and early Rag & Bone.
