More virtue signaling from the Left. Not a good idea to anger half of potential customers.

-—not new for Levi’s—they got on the anti-gun bandwagon nearly forty years ago (along with every other left wing California fantasy) and nearly broke the company-—

I wonder if China tells these CEO’s “If you want access to our market, these are the political positions that we want you to take”.

In 2016, Levi Strauss asked gun owners not to bring guns to their stores.

I didn't know Levis had stores. So, they don't want me there with a gun, but since a gun is an inanimate object, then it must be me they don't like. Well, I won't go where I am not wanted, and my gun and my money will stay with me.

If they want to do something useful start making some of their clothing out of Kevlar.
I’ll bet a Kevlar lined denim jacket would sell.

Nothing new for them

It occurs to me that maybe these leftist run companies don’t realize something obvious to us. Do they realize how easy it is, truly easy, to abandon their products? Nike and Levi’s.... You come out in support of measures I disagree with, I’ll look at other products first. But when you come out in support of a leftist agenda I vehemently disagree with and believe is bad for my Country... I’ll never purchase your products again. The thing is, that’s no real sacrifice on my part. There are lots of alternatives to your products. I can decide you’re dead to me over morning cereal and never look back. Companies would do well to simply stick to the business at hand, mind their markets. But that’s not how lefties operate. To them it’s not enough that they hold their leftist beliefs. No, they feel compelled to not only evangelize them but also impose them on others. The very antithesis of “liberal” and diversity and tolerance and acceptance and all those other lies they cloak themselves in.

Levis does not really serve the farm/ranch/working man demographic anymore. They have ceded that portion of the market to Wrangler. They have gone, almost exclusively, into the urban and suburban fashion conscious market.

The interesting question is whether the urban hipster brand can survive untethered from the authentic working man root. Or will tomorrow’s hipsters shun Levis in favor of the still authentic Wranglers they seen worn by their auto mechanic, construction workers, and country cousins.

Serious question: Wrangler or Lee jeans, or Carhartt? And why?

That’s fine. I prefer the fit of Wranglers better anyway.

Levis are still the best quality fit jean. Others hang oddly on your body.

But I have replaced Levis for everyday work jeans because those wear quickly.

I’ve worn 501 Blues for 48 years. I’d hate to have to buy anything else. Just shut up and sell jeans.

After 60 years of nothing but LS, I’ve worn my last pair.
