hargan denim

taking the best of denim, and making something of it.

hargan denim is a clothing brand focused on creating high quality, small batch garments. always made with quality in mind, emphasis on sustainable practices and a shit load of love. all fabrics and materials from repurposed or deadstock fabrics.

what happened to the fashion industry? where did it all go wrong?!

we don’t value anything like we used to. people. money. life. workers are exploited, factories are falling apart killing many people due to bad regulations, overproduction to avoid empty inventories, a massive carbon footprint, water pollution and the list goes on. many articles get written, many words get said, yet not much has changed. the problems aren’t easy to fix, but are fixable when you have the right mindset to make a change.

start small, think big.

we have steadily generated more and more waste over the years, filling our landfills, not to mention a whole host of other environmental problems faced by the u.s. and the rest of the world.

no matter what you think the world’s biggest issues are, you are unlikely to think of fashion as either a problem or a solution. yet, ethical, sustainable fashion could help address many of these issues in a way you’d not expect. even better, clothing is something that everyone needs and uses, make it an extremely accessible avenue for the average person to affect change.

denim. everybody loves denim. so much so, we spend approximately $92 billion on denim products each year. since jeans first appeared 150 years ago, they have managed to transcend age, gender and cultural lines; withstanding every fashion fad and have even turned into coveted collector’s items, fetching up to $46,532 at auctions. denim is a language that everyone understands, making it a perfect avenue to make change.

when i hear the word denim, i think classic, authentic, intimate, personal. denim tells a story. whether it is the first pair of jeans you bought, a vintage pair that reminds you of a memory, or a pair that makes you feel like the best looking human in the world, denim continues to play an active role in your life. i build my denim knowing you are going to be creating another memory in this pair of jeans. taking the time to make that extra stitch for long-term durability, smoothing out that 1/8” curve for comfortability, putting in that little extra detailed stitch for uniqutivity. in hopes that this pair of jeans, with the amazing stories you have created wearing them, gets passed down from generation to generation, bringing back that tradition, classic, authentic, intimate and personal feel that brought denim about.
