You people kill me. A single pair of jeans is not the problem. Thousands and thousands of pairs of jeans are the problem. That's where Walmart and the open mouth breathers who frequent Walmart come in. When you get into the "I have to pay the lowest price possible for everything, even if it falls apart after one wash" mentality then you are being penny wise and pound foolish. Thanks to Walmart, and other like them, and people like you, we are propping up the Chinese economy, and moving American Jobs south or overseas. All so you can buy your pair of inferior jeans for $3 less. What's the problem as long as you get a good deal - and a pink slip in a couple months.

Good God, are you ever a self important fool. Go to Sears, Bloomingdales, Macy's or any other store a pay more for the same product if you wish, but most people prefer not to waste the money. Walmart didn't bankrupt Levi Strauss, they have been in financial trouble well before they sold any product to Walmart. Blaming Walmart for societal problems is ridiculous. The company creates jobs(if the jobs all sucked, they wouldn't have 1 million employees) they heavily contribute to local charities, they employ the elderly, the handicapped and many first time job holders. I know most Americans must be wrong shopping there according to you, but I don't think anyone is forcing them to shop in their stores. Why don't you compete with them and you just sell Made in America products only, I'm sure people will flock to your store, the only problem will be finding the products to stock your shelves, Walmart didn't create the problem for manufacturers, unions did.

You people kill me, completely lacking in facts you go straight for the insult, very telling.

People pay for the quality they want. Some people are willing to pay more for quality, some aren't. Some companies cater to the low end of the market, some cater to the high end.

Don't look now but we've had an entire year of job growth in the manufacturing sector.

I buy the value I'm seeking, if no American company can provide the quality I want for the price I'm willing to pay, then no American company deserves my money. I'm not gonna get a pink slip anytime soon, my company makes the best product in our field and have the majority of the market, and I stand by the fact that people should buy our product because it's the best, not because we're an American company.

It's people like YOU that have propped up bad American companies like Ford that make inferior products and charge too much. If you went for value instead of worshipping location maybe Ford would actually have learned to make cars that don't suck, or they'd have gone out of business like they richly deserve.
