Levis Anti-Gun
« on: May 03, 2019, 10:23:56 AM »
Chip Bergh, Levis CEO has offered money to anti-gun groups and organizations.

Guess he is unaware of the western tradition of Levis worn in the Old West. A boycott sounds like a good idea.

I've been hearing that Levis is antigun for a long time.  I still occasionally buy used Levis at Goodwill but haven't bought a new pair in at least 30 years.

I won't spend that much for jeans, so consider me boycotting already. Besides, aren't they made in Korea now?

Last time I visited, proper wranglers were 25bucks in the cowboy shop in Ogallalla (? North Platte maybe?) - I dont know if he even stocked Levis - told me he was used to Aussie tourists coming in with empty suitcases and a shopping list of all different sizes wranglers - pay a couple bucks extra for the prewashed jeans - tell a few stories while he cut the price tags off so we didnt get caught for import duty coming through customs back home.

I've been banging on that drum for over 30 years.

Have you noticed, too, that Wells Fargo took the shotgun away from their express guard a few years ago (maybe he had GPS instead), and now he just gone.
People like me are the reason people like you have the right to bitch about people like me.

I'm certain he does and doesn't care considering it's very old news. Most gun owners I know have been boycotting them for decades and Levis was on the NRA-ILAs list of anti-gun companies 20+ years ago.

His most recent scheme was to be offering money for gun control disguised as promoting gun safety.

Major,

Of you long list the only one I do business with is Panara, because I meet my sister there for coffee once a week. I'll have to tell her to look for another coffee shop. (smile)

I quit buying Levi's years ago when they started their push and support for gay scoutmasters in the Boy Scouts. Let them know then and when they started supporting anti-2nd Amendment issues. The list Major posted, I've boycotted many of them over the years if they have stores in my area when they've openly supported liberal issues and liberal Democrat candidates (or even a few Republican when it may be he case). I contact the store manager and the corporate office and advise no more dollars from me and that I will encourage others to boycott also (which I do).  Even call those that don't have stores in my area for just cause. I used to buy at Target until they started their open bathroom policy to every misfit that couldn't decide if he was male or female. Reference blue jeans, I've bought and loved my Rodeo Cut Wranglers for years.

And then look at the long list of celebrities. Particularly the hypocritical ones like Sly Stallone and Kevin Costner just to mention a couple that have made millions off of gun violence.

Liam Neison(?) comes to mind as well.

Back to the OP.........NO LEVI'S FOR ME AND I HAVEN'T BOUGHT ANY FOR YEARS! Thy've been anti-gun for quite awhile now and when I first heard of it I haven't bought any since!
Some of the other places that were mentioned are worthy of boycotting also but to actually wear Levi's you're advertising for them! No way Jose!

The ones I got at Goodwill, I cut off the tags  ;D
Haven't bought any there in quite a while anyway, because all of them I see only have 5 belt loops and I want 7.

I stopped buying them a long time ago because the leg seams would twist around almost to the front when washed. The quality just went to zero. Then they became anti gun. Wanglers fit me better, lasted better, and had straight seams. I wear Wrangler jeans and work shirts, and Roundhouse overalls. Roundhouse is made in USA and is not anti gun.
I took a quick inventory of what I was wearing this afternoon. Jeans, shirt, boots all made in Mexico. Undershorts and undershirt Vietnam. Socks who knows. Belt buckle Navajo Nation. Hat USA. So, start with NO Levis and expand the no go group as seems right. There are already more on my "no go" list.
I try to be careful about who I do business with. I really try to avoid those who are actively supporting the anti groups. Limits me on movies but that's fine.
