ABOUT DTJ
Dog Tag Jeans is about more than just selling upcycled name brand jeans; it also serves as a platform to bring awareness to PTSD. DTJ donates 10% of their net profits to local veteran and first responder organizations. Giving back has always been an important part of why the brand was created.
