"We're still an American brand...."

Not really, you are a foreign brand/company that has offices located in America. Having your headquarters here does not make you an American brand/company.

I heard this last night on late nigth radio while on a long trip and I thought it must have been a joke. I remember getting new Levis right before my first days of high school and thought I was so cool. It's sad to see traditions vanish.

workers earning an average of $10 to $12 per hour

You can either pay more for merchandise or move jobs overseas. You can't have it both ways. Check out your labels and see how many products that you buy are made overseas. WalMart's parking lot is not full because they have great customer service.

Hey, look here, the company seems to be sorry, but it's shareholders are forcing it to go abroad. And why? Because Joe Public doesn't buy LEvi's, because Joe Public wants $10 jeans and he doesn' care where they're made. So, to blame Levi's doesn't seem quite fair -- they are losing market share and I don't know, but I'd guess nearly all other denim manufacturers make jeans outside the country -- the number one being Walmart
