Levi Strauss Company jumps on gun-control bandwagon
Fortune Magazine ^ | 09/04/2018 | Chip Bergh

Posted on 09/04/2018 10:35:03 AM PDT by rstrahan

I’m proud to announce that Levi Strauss & Co. is partnering with Everytown for Gun Safety and executives including Michael Bloomberg to form Everytown Business Leaders for Gun Safety, a coalition of business leaders who believe, as we do, that business has a critical role to play in and a moral obligation to do something about the gun violence epidemic in this country

No Levis in our home. Wrangler only.

They have been on the side of gun grabbers for a loooong time.

Plain label jeans: about $10.

Want ‘em faded? Bleach, five cents.

Want ‘em scuffed? Five minutes with scissors.

Want ‘em tight? Buy too small, shrink ‘em in hot wash.

Paying a lot for pants to sling dung in: really stupid.

Chip Bergh might have a point: Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the country and Chicago has stopped all gun violence. Worth thinking about....

"Levis aren’t what they used to be as they wear out quickly. Have better luck with Wrangler."

I've noticed over the last couple decades that my .45 I wear in the small of my back has been wearing holes in my Levis the last few years. My Wranglers hold up much better to end of my barrel - wear point. Most of my Levis have been reduced to yard work mud work clothes.

I wear Wranglers. I quit buying Levi’s years ago. Have seen no reason to look back, either.

the Strauss descendant that ran the company embraced every left-wing fantasy available then and about broke the company

Yep, that's when I learned of their gun grabbing.

Not surprising since they were early to jump on the pro homosexual bandwagon. LS used to be my favorite jeans brand.

These gun grabbers should focus on the elephant in the room that is causing a big part of the gun violence. It is the drug epidemic that is causing gang formation, control over the drug market, the waging of street justice over fraudulent drug sales, and the effects on the human mind when drugs sabotage decision making areas that control homicidal tendencies. It is the yoke of addictive drugs that becomes easy money for a legion of opportunists, whether it is on the street level or in the high ranks of government. It is all an exploitation of the user caught in the trap of drugs that sabotage their minds.

I ask why have not the poppy plantations in Afghanistan not been destroyed? Why are we letting Mexico become a central player in poppy cultivation? Poppy fields in Mexico is like having nuclear tipped missiles in Cuba.

Why have we not employed the arsenal of technological methods to destroy the drug distribution system? This is not the 30s. All is the result of the money and the resulting poppycock. Our nation has developed the technological means, but not the will because of government corruption. Guns are only a scapegoat to draw away the focus of what is really happening and the solution.

Haven’t bought their over priced crap for years, not since they first jumped on the social justice bandwagon, and that was a long time ago.

Re: Want 'em scuffed? etc...

I just tossed a few pairs of worn-out jeans. Frays, rips, bleached out nearly white, etc, just not fit to be seen in public anymore.

Mrs Wbill pointed out that I was likely throwing away a fortune.

After wearing them for years, the last couple of pairs of Levi jeans I bought had the belt loops tear free soon after I bought them. About 3 years ago, I started buying Wrangler. I now see that that their products had only become as crappy as their values and judgment. Maybe it was foreshadowing. . . I didn’t know how good my decision really was.

I’ve always bought Lee jeans. I don’t see them on this list, so I’ll stick with them.
