Gap Jeans

Gap jeans are a staple of American casual wear, representing a brand that defined the retail landscape for decades. Originally founded in 1969 with a focus on denim and records, the brand evolved into a global fashion powerhouse known for its accessible and classic style.

While the brand is deeply rooted in American culture, its manufacturing is highly globalized. Gap products are manufactured in a vast network of third-party factories across dozens of countries, including Vietnam, Bangladesh, China, Cambodia, India, and Sri Lanka. This international production chain allows the company to balance cost, quality, and scale.

The brand is owned by Gap Inc., which also oversees other major retailers like Old Navy and Banana Republic. As of 2026, the company remains headquartered in San Francisco, California, maintaining its status as one of the largest specialty apparel retailers in the United States and globally.
