The president and CEO of Levi Strauss & Co., Chip Bergh, has announced that the iconic company, "a pioneer of the American West," will donate more than $1 million to gun-control groups to help end "America's gun violence epidemic," a step the NRA denounced as a "particularly sad episode in the current surge in corporate virtue-signaling."
In his announcement, through a commentary in Fortune magazine, CEO Bergh stated that Levi's is "known the world over as a pioneer of the American West and one of the great symbols of American freedom." Nonetheless, "as business leaders with power in the public and political arenas, we simply cannot stand by silently when it comes to the issues that threaten the very fabric of the communities where we live and work.... [D]oing nothing is no longer an option."

Never once owned a pair of Levi’s, only Wrangler. Have a dozen or so Wranglers and love them, always have.
I was in Walmart’s jean section today and ran into to two guys who said they would never buy Levi products again because of the anti gun activism. Both are Wrangler customers, like me. BTW, the cost is $16.87 a pair for Wranglers.
The ABSOLUTE ARROGANCE of these uber-rich globalist elites can ONLY be corrected through TOTAL economic boycott.

“... president and CEO of Levi Strauss & Co., Chip Bergh”
Chipberg sounds like a flavor at Baskin Robbins.
What a meshuga! What would Levi say? Strauss was so verklempt - he almost plotzed! Oy vey!
That’s enough Yiddish, ain’t it?
Chip Bergh=chip toast.
Wrangler time. Even Costco (unless they are sub contracted to Levi)
Cabela’s has their own brand of jeans.
I really like them.
Stopped with the Levi’s years ago when they went full retard...
Well, costco ceo is a big time obxxx buddy so there is that. Not sure on their 2a stance but I wouldn’t think they are big supporters.
I know lots of jeans made here in Los Angeles such as 7 For All Mankind etc but they are pricey.
You can buy 4 pairs of “Rustler” by Wrangler, for what 1 pair of “Levi’s” costs.
I love Wranglers. I love that they sponsor the PRCA Rodeo. I love Justin Boots for the same reason. They foot the medical for the PRCA.
I can’t stand Levi’s and I grew up with them. Sad.
Haven’t worn or bought their crap for years.
I much prefer Duluth Trading Company’s Chinos.

Excellent for concealed carry.
Good point!
Generic? All my Wranglers have been purchased at Walmart for about 16 bucks each.
Levi has become way to political and there stuff is 3rd world CRAP
Plenty of options for hard core denim heads.
Good. Buy Cabela’s Jeans!!!
Levi Strauss & Co. To Donate $1 Million+ To Anti-Gun Groups.

Rustler jeans are made by Wrangler also.
