Evidence for the price Above what this price band usually documents
On the product page: nothing
On 31 July 2026 the JJIEDDIE JJBASIC loose fit jeans were checked, item number 12252646, €29.99, 68% cotton and 32% recycled cotton.
A country of manufacture appears nowhere. No country of manufacture appears on the page, nor in the data sheet behind it. Structured product data is present; an origin field is not among it.
One click further: Tier 1 and Tier 2
The parent group, Bestseller, publishes a public factory list as a downloadable spreadsheet with two sheets: Tier 1 factories and Tier 2 materials suppliers. Both carry factory names, both carry addresses.
The second tier is the remarkable part. Almost every house in this research publishes — if anything — only Tier 1, the garment factories. GANT even calls its panel “Factory lists”, plural, and holds a single link. Here the materials suppliers sit alongside.
The group puts the scope itself at more than 400 suppliers and 700 factories across 18 countries. In addition, 847 facilities are listed on Open Supply Hub.
The widest gap on this site
Jack & Jones therefore has the fullest disclosure in this research — and a product page carrying not a word of it.
At Levi's at least the country appears on the page. At Mango it appears in plain words. Here the only route runs through the corporate site, and nobody buying €29.99 jeans goes there.
We offer this without reproach. It is not a contradiction but a question of remit: the list belongs to corporate communications, the product page to sales. For the customer the difference is decisive all the same.
What we did not carry over
The founding year.
The research log gives “1975” — but that came from an error page serving fallback homepage content. A year taken off a 404 page is not a source, and we do not record it.
And the row count of the spreadsheet.
The file was not downloaded and counted. The figures given — more than 400 suppliers, 700 factories, 18 countries — come from the page’s accompanying text, not from the spreadsheet itself.
How we checked
We went through the product page and the company pages by hand, opening every collapsible panel individually. All quotations appear in the brand’s own wording; figures and fields were verified against the page source. The date of each check is given with the source.
Verifiable statements with a source, not a rating. We publish no ethics score of our own — for that, follow the external link.

A garment is made across several countries. The label almost always names only one of them. Which one, and what falls away in the process.
We asked twenty brands across four groups the same question: does the product page say where the item was made? The answer has nothing to do with price — and that is the real story.
Questions readers ask
Where is Jack & Jones made?
The product page does not say. There is no origin statement, neither visible nor in the source.
Is there a factory list?
Yes, and an unusually complete one: a spreadsheet with Tier 1 factories and Tier 2 materials suppliers, each with names and addresses, plus 847 facilities on Open Supply Hub.
Why does Tier 2 stand out?
Because almost every house in this research publishes at most Tier 1, the garment factories. Materials suppliers appear nowhere else.
Can a pair of jeans be traced to a facility?
No. The product page does not even name a country.
Who owns Jack & Jones?
The brand sits under the Danish group Bestseller, which also publishes the factory list.
