J Brand Factory Downtown LA (Pictures)

Did you know that every single pair of jeans that J Brand makes is shipped from its factory in downtown LA? That's right, even the ones Kate Middleton sports all the way in London. J Brand is internationally recognized, but its roots are still very much LA. And to prove it, J Brand CEO Jeff Rudes was recently inspired to create a collection of City Year jeans to help students in the factory's neighboring areas stay in school; 100 percent of the net proceeds from City Year jeans go to the organization City Year. Get in on the fashion philanthropy by buying a pair now.
