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

Welp, it’s only Wranglers from now on.

Levi company just committed political suicide.

Who buys the vast majority of the jeans made, middle class guys or whining little faggots and mad Moms?

This guy must have had something go wrong in his head, a brain eating worm?

[Uncle Miltie]

There ya go!

I will never buy another Levi’s product as long as I live.

[SunkenCiv]

That reminds me of that old saying, **** Levi Strauss. Thanks rstrahan.

Does Media Hogg wear Levi’s? And are they supporting him and his travels around the USA leading protests?

[Yaelle]

That’s IT! I’m taking them off right now!

[FateAmenableToChange]

I started buying these American made / sourced jeans several years ago. They fit better and wear longer than any of the mass market jeans and are more comfortable as well.

Just went to New Balance site and found the next pair of shoes I am buying.

Also good time for them to break into the basketball market. I’ll buy them for my grandson if they come out with one.

I don't remember when they went anti-2nd either exactly. It was quite a while back. I know I brought it up in a brief exchange with Rabbi Mermelstein 20-ish years ago when I was investigating whether Manischewitz was second Amendment kosher so its been a long time (They were at that time as far as he could tell).

Shortly thereafter Levis went pro-gay too. We haven't bought any since all that happened.

[Beagle8U]

There is a company that buys all old jeans that it can and ships them to Japan, where they sell for $100+ a pair.

I haven’t bought Levis since they attempted to sodomize the Boy Scouts years ago.

[Pining_4_TX]

You mean the cities with the most “teens”.

[AlaskaErik]

I buy my jeans at gun selling Bass Pro. Never owned a pair of Levis.

[petro45acp]

Stopped wearing LS jeans decades ago when it became known they were board members of handgun control dink.......

5.11 trou since then. never jeans.

Oh, well. Bye Levis.

[Vaquero]

When the million mom march (May of 2000)against firearms was the first I heard of Levi funding anti-2nd amendment causes. I’m sure cowboys who might have wore their product would be shocked and appalled if they knew that.

I was a Levi wearer. Nothing has fit me properly before or since.

health issues has made it difficult to wear jeans. But when I do it is Wranglers.

[bankwalker]

I heard decades ago that Levi Strauss was run by queers.

[reed13k]

Always felt Lees and Wrangler fit better. Only thing I liked about Levis was the button fly.

[reed13k]

List needs updated Dick’s isn’t on it among others.

[Celtic Conservative]

I but wranglers. Levis sucks at the big and talk market.
