Are Wranglers still made in the USA?

How about Carhart?


Just more reason to tell Levi's to go take a jump.....

The Levi's Brand clothing hasn't gone down in price (at least not the pants), yet they have supposedly been moving their manufacturing out of country as a cost cutting move..... Where's MY cost cutting? So now a pair of Levi's that use to cost $4.00 per pair to make in the US, now costs $1.75 per pair to make elsewhere. That same pair of jeans will still cost $55 in the store.....

Even if Levi's cut is only $10.00 per pair (really doubtful), I don't see how 150% profit per unit looses money.....

LS has been steadily losing market share. Their competitors have been elbowing them aside for years. The most lucrative consumer group are teenagers and they are not interested in Levi's. It's not about profit margin per unit, it's about not being able to sell enough units. At least, not in America.
