Was it for the Boy Scout thing?
There's no evidence that this is due to a lack of sales, rather they're producing the product where labor is cheap.

Which brings up an interesting question....
How can a company make a product for an average cost of $5.00 per item, add another $1.50 per item for marketing, and then the product sells at retail for $50-65, and not make a profit?
So now they will make the same product overseas for a total of $2.50 per item and suddenly make a fortune?

"There's no evidence that this is due to a lack of sales"
from article "invigorate drooping sales"
huh?
I also stopped buying Levi's when they overtly stopped supporting the 2nd amendment and took positions against the BSA. As far as I'm concerned they can go belly up.
