I USED to wear Levis...but haven’t for a while.
For sure, this action makes me about the last person on the planet who will buy Levis again.
Companies should stick to selling goods and/or services, and stay the F out of politics. With a divided country, ANY move into the political arena will be guaranteed to piss off about half of your customer, and potential customer, base. If I was a shareholder, I’d be REALLY pissed, and I’d put forth a resolution to fire Chip Bergh, FOR CAUSE.
Welllll.... BYE.
“Americans shouldn’t have to live in fear of gun violence...”
Hey genius, if you don’t want people to live in fear of gun violence, make the criminals live in fear of the noose.
(OH NO! HeadOn’s a racist!) FAR, FAR, from it, but I refuse to live in fear of political correctness. The noose is a very effective deterrent, a particularly gruesome public spectacle. Note: PUBLIC!
Thanks for posting Raymann.
Levi Strauss’ CEO and President Chip Bergh wrote it Fortune on Tuesday that the company “simply cannot stand by silently when it comes to issues that threaten the very fabric of the communities where we live and work.”
“You may wonder why a company that doesn’t manufacture or sell guns is wading into this issue, but for us, it’s simple,” Bergh wrote. “Americans shouldn’t have to live in fear of gun violence. It’s an issue that affects all of us — all generations and all walks of life.
...you condescending, hypocritical, tyrant-enabling SOB.
GFY, and the same to your company - I will NEVER buy Levis jeans again.
Last time I bought one of their products was probably around 1992.
If that.
Been buying Wrangler and Lee at Wmart for years - good enough and cheaper than Levi’s.
I have not bought Levis since the first time they came out as antis. Duluth Trading or Arborist since then
Strange - all of these iconic brands committing suicide today.
Just came back from the Ellensburg Rodeo (one of the big four). All Wrangler, and man do they do a good job with their brand. From east of the Cascades to West of the Appalachias I would imagine its all Wrangler.
Wrangler and Lee for me.
5.56mm
There are more legal guns than people in the US... with probably TRILLIONS of rounds of AMMO...
If Legal Gun owners were the problem, you’d know it.. dumbasses...
Enjoy watching your sales disappear
Same Here!
Wrangler just fit better too
I haven’t bought Levi’s for more than 20 years because the family has heavily supported Handgun Control, Inc. and successor/related organizations. This includes Dockers, by the way.
More people live in fear of a tyrannical government than “gun violence”.
I will never buy another pair of Levis. I can’t just stand by and let some corporate morons attack my God given rights.
Didn’t read all the way through but I’m assuming they’re NOT in favor of going after games and criminals, or letting more of us CCW?
Jeans, feh. Everyone now wears khakis.
Can you stand by broke?
Bummer. It’s so stupid when corporations dip their wick into politics. They know they will get a debilitating STD disease losing money for themselves and their stock holders. Really stupid but it sounds like the unfortunate reality we live in now.
Soon we will have to check the approved list of products to buy because so many corps have gotten this leftist venereal disease.
Just today; no more Nike or Levi’s. Yesterday; Dick’s and the Red Hen. Someone should start a list and make a webpage so this is all easily accessible.
I’d boycott them but I never buy their jeans anyway. However, I will definitely encourage others to do so.
Well, we can’t stand your pants any more, Levi.
