Guns not welcome at Levi's stores for safety reasons.

Are there any jeans that are made in the USA now?

I have a few pairs of Levi's, but I buy all my jeans from Wal-mart. I'm no hipster, I don't wear skinny jeans.

Duluth has a US-made option.

I looked about a year and a half ago for Quality Wranglers since I can tell they're not made with the quality they used to be.
I found USA made Wranglers but they were crazy expensive. I wasn't going to spend that kind of money without seeing them first.

I'd boycott them but my butt looks too good in my 514's.

Take a look at Dickies. The company has been around for a century and pitched in during WWII.

I can't buy jeans online. They all fit differently. I have found that some brands, like Dickies, are way too big.

So you're saying... naw, I'm not going to take it. Too easy. Someone else can hit that slow pitch.

 

[iChokePeople]

Works for me every time. Except for once, that is. But I gave them a hard look and they backed off.

If they are the 13mwz you can't go wrong with them. That's all I wear started back in my PRCA days.

Most times you can count on them to last years but on occasion they may not last longer than 8 seconds.

I'm all for supporting US products but 85 bucks for a pair of jeans????

You expect Joe Smith worker to work for $3/day like his cohort Ching Dao across the pond?

And I refuse to buy anything from Duluth until they drop the artsy watercolors in favor of actual photographs in their catalogs. Sorry, I want to see what I'm buying. If I want to see art, I'll go to a museum.

I like Carhart jeans WAY better anyway. I just wish they hadn`t discontinued the carpenter jeans I love.

This may have already been mentioned. With businesses like this, we need to vote with our wallets. A "gun free" store is a "not my money store". I have walked into one store and did not immediately see the no firearms sign. Upon seeing it, I began to walk out and was asked by an employee if I had found what I was looking for. I informed the employee that I did.

And leaving behind a "no guns no money" card for the employee to relay to management is even more effective.

Exactly.

If you don't tell the business you are unhappy and leaving (for ANY particular reason) then they have no idea. Let them know they lost business and why.

 

[rugertoter]

Yeah, more of a Wrangler or Lee guy myself.

As you move up the perceived value chain, that's pretty middle of the road. Anything with domestic or Japanese 100% cotton denim is going to be pricey. Chinese denim and denim blends will be cheaper.

Find The Perfect Pair of Raw Denim | Heddels Scout Denim

You can search by country of origin for the material, where it's actually manufactured, etc. You'll find a lot of US and Japanese offerings over $200 a pair, but there is a company in TX that offers limited sizes at $40 a pair (those with a waist size over 37" true measurement need not apply).

Levi Strauss isn't just giving a "friendly suggestion" not to carry in their stores, but they have for years been an active donor to the foremost anti-gun organizations in the country.
This is no mere squabble over semantics.
This is an insurmountable conflict over basic principles.

 

[bradbler]

technically it is their store. id still carry though hehe
