When American Apparel first made headlines in the early 2000s, the story was all about a retail company that made all of its products right here in the U.S.
"We make 'Sweatshop Free' T-shirts. Our goal is to seek profits through innovation not exploitation," wrote CEO Dov Charney in a 2002 letter to the editor of Adbusters magazine.
While that "made in the U.S.A." message never left the company, it has been overshadowed in recent years by over-the-top ad campaigns, sexual harassment lawsuits, a federal investigation into illegal immigrant labor, and fear of bankruptcy.
But as the company's wholesale and internet business have helped sales rise in the past few months, American Apparel is once again highlighting its unique position in the apparel market by giving consumers online access to their downtown Los Angeles factory, the largest garment factory in the United States.
Its in these locations that the fabrics are knit, dyed, and processed before being sent to the downtown location. This video is a little lengthy, but shows how the whole process works.
Located on the 1st floor of the downtown factory, employees in the Fabric Department inspect fabric coming in from the dyeing centers before they sent it up to be cut.
In this video, Hugo and Lamont show you the department.
Located on the 4th floor, the Cutting Department takes the newly arrived fabric and gets it ready to be sewn. The cutting is done with computers and by hand, in some cases.

Kobe Bryant and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers have lost trust in new head coach Mike Brown's system and continue to hold private players only meetings, according to ESPNLosAngeles.com.
Some players have even discussed abandoning Brown's offense and going back to the triangle system they ran under Phil Jackson.
Los Angeles is averaging an astonishingly low 94 points per game, which is good for SECOND WORST in the Western Conference. It's the worst points-per-game numbers for a Lakers team since the league instituted the 24-second shot clock nearly 60 years ago, according to ESPNLosAngeles.com.
The Lakers also have an unbelievably awful 6-14 record away from the Staples Center that includes losses to woeful teams like the Washington Wizards, Sacramento Kings, Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix Suns, and Detroit Pistons.
That loss to the Wizards came Wednesday night. After the game Brown blamed their struggles on "poor ball movement, an over-reliance on individual play and inconsistent effort on the road."
Brown also had this to say regarding Kobe's shot selection (note: he was 9-for-31 from the floor):
"He was one of the guys that I did not think took great shots in the second half."
The "poor ball movement and an over-reliance on individual play" smacks right in the face of what Kobe has been doing all season long.
Kobe's usage rate, which measures the percentage of team plays used by an individual player while he's on the floor, is a really high 37.8 percent. Kobe's usage rate has not been this high since the 2005-06 season, when he was completely devoid of any help and lost in the first round of the playoffs.
Despite having Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum, it's clear Kobe feels the same way about this year's team as he did back then: they're not very good and he needs to carry the Lakers on his back in order to win.
Here's Kobe's "I don't really care" reply to Brown's comments about his shooting:
"OK. It's fine"
Brown thinks the Lakers can rely on their defense to win games and would rather Kobe relax a bit more on offense, however.
So where do the Lakers go from here?
Kobe's frustrated with the way the organization has dealt with the Gasol trade rumors, but he would not mind if Gasol and/or Bynum were sent away in a package for Dwight Howard or anyone else.
Having an All-Star big man over a struggling Gasol would certainly help, but the Lakers are already a solid defensive team.
Picking up a point guard like Rajon Rondo would be a better solution to the Lakers "poor ball movement" woes.
Then again, the issue isn't so much who comes in to save this team it's whether or not Kobe and Brown can coexist.
Seeing as Kobe runs the show no matter who diagrams the X's and O's, Brown is in a lose-lose situation. He can continue to push his way and get the same disappointing results and un-receptiveness from his players, or he can give in to Kobe and see how that goes.
Brown tried to do it both ways with the last great star he coached, LeBron James. Remember how that turned out?
As long as Mike Brown is the coach, the Los Angeles Lakers will struggle to keep up with the Clippers and hold off the rest of the Western Conference's playoff contenders.
Likewise, Kobe isn't going to trust any coach not named Phil Jackson, so don't count on anyone else out there solving these problems soon, whether it's a new acquisition or a new coach.

In recent months we have witnessed the end of an era as Eastman Kodak (NASDAQOTH: EKDKQ.PK) comes to the end of its reign. The long standing company has faced major revenue losses and downgrades into penny stock status as the company finds itself on the edge of becoming obsolete. Kodak filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on January 19, 2012.
Kodak has put into motion the selling off of properties in a variety of venues in an effort to reorganize. Among the properties being sold is Kodak?s online photo service, which has just received a winning bid by Shutterfly, Inc
Despite Kodak?s difficulties the pending sale to Shutterfly has resulted in a surge for Shutterfly stock. Officially, the sale is not final until it receives approval from the bankruptcy court during the court supervised auction; however, that hasn?t stopped Shutterfly from adding a 19% gain, at last check.
In a continuing effort to restructure the company Kodak has also placed roughly 1,100 patents on the market seeking to raise between $1-2 billion dollars. The funds will go a long way in renovating the company and bringing it back to life in a more streamlined fashion. Kodak does face a dispute with Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL)
A hearing on March 8, 2012 will decide whether or not Apple will be able to file a patent infringement suit against Kodak preventing them from selling certain patents. Apple claims that Kodak?s digital cameras, digital picture frames, and printers were originally of Apple origin and are not Kodak?s to sell.
Shutterfly will transfer all of the U.S. and Canadian customer accounts and images for Kodak Gallery to their own database. Customers will be allowed to opt out of the transfer should they choose to do so. The transfer will be a considerable undertaking as Kodak Gallery supports over 75 million users.
Once news of the deal reached the floors, Shutterfly experienced heavy options activity resulting in roughly 7,500 contracts being moved; nearly 17 times more than normal for the company?s activity.
The potential deal between Shutterfly and Kodak has definitely positioned Shutterfly to finish above its normal 10 and 20 week moving averages. The move has also caused analysts to predict favorable trends in the upcoming months.
