Whew. I was worried they were talking about collar stays.
Good. Lower demand = lower prices...........................It’s a law................
I met a guy in Orange County that was head of Marketing and Sales for Levi’s, I told Him this:
I always bought 5 pairs of 501 shrink to fit, all the same size, starting in the 90’s every pair fit differently and they wore out real fast. So Now I buy Wranglers, and EVERY pair fits the same and they last twice as long as the 501’s, and are half the price.
Sad that denim is now considered “dressing up”. The slobs are winning and wearing sweatsuits to business meetings and funerals.
Jeans are the coldest item of clothing to wear in the winter and the hottest to wear in the summer. In fact, most britches are sweaty to wear any time of the year. I wear skirts and dresses winter and summer.

Don’t like blue jeans. Never did.
They are uncomfortable. (and it’s not because I’m obese. I weigh about 100 lbs)
Might be because Levi’s quality sucks now.
What, dirty t-shirts and ball caps are going out of style?
I haven’t worn jeans in over 30 years. It feels like wearing cardboard.
I’m wearing sweatpants right now.
Extinct for now perhaps, but they will be back in vogue in 20 years or so. I’ll make sure to save the pairs I have and will them to the children. They can sell them. Perhaps they might even be able to start a business when they come back into style.
I bought 4 pair yesterday. I must be out of style. Oh well.
But, now that things have been fundamentally transformed, Levis are gay and should stay in the closet.
Wranglers, otoh, haven't been sexually liberated with social justice...yet...and are still just reasonably priced denim jeans.
I like the Wrangler brand Jake from State Farms, too.
Levi’s are now made outside the Country because they said it’s too expensive to manufacture them here.
The Price for Levi’s is higher than it’s ever been, nearly $40 a Pair.
Costco sells their Brand of Jeans for under $18 a Pair, made outside of the Country as well.
I remember when Levi’s was considered All American and proud of it. Those days are long gone.
I have been buying my farm work pants from Duluth Trading for a number of years now. I buy the ‘firehose’ brand and they are simply amazing at how well they last and how comfortable and versatile they are for working around the farm
On a different note they are NOT cheap or cheaply made. I recommend them whole heartedly for anybody that does actual physical labor instead of office work.
Was not Levi-Strauss one of the first publically pro-homo businesses?
