I can remember in the 1990s, when gun haters were desperately trying to keep Missouri a No-Issue CCW state.
IIRC only MO and IL were officially No-Issue at the time, although others were effectively (Aloha Spirit!) No-Issue. Money came pouring in from pro sports franchises (not the MLB team IIRC), Levi Strauss, Sara Lee, Hanes, ... As a result, there are several brands that I have been boycotting for nearly 30 years. |

I joined in 2016, saw it immediately and cut Levi's out for good. Before that it was my go to and I would buy at least a half-dozen pairs a year. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've always hated Levi's. This. They never fit right in the crotch. One day I got in the car and sat 180lbs of me down on top of my nuts. After seeing the afterlife for a few mins, I limped into the house, threw those jeans in the trash, and layed down with a bag of frozen corn. Damn that sucked.

To offset stuff like this, I make an effort to help arm and educate people who do not own a gun, or to help people buy/build their first AR15. I love teaching new shooters how to protect themselves and how to property shoot. I've also introduced a couple dozen people to shooting sports and hunting. There are also 7 new GSSF match shooters in the DFW area because of my efforts.
I hate Levis. They are poor quality and dont even look good. My wife and I threw our Levi's in the trash years ago and will never buy anything from them ever again. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I once called my cable TV provider and threatened to cancel service in order to get them to lower my bill. It had been creeping higher and higher for years, I was a long time customer and I always heard that's the game. Tell them they better lower it every few years and they would. The sales rep confirmed that I was requesting them to reduce my bill or I wanted to cancel service, I said yes that's correct. She put me on hold for a few minutes and suddenly my TV displayed no service. She came back and said your service is canceled, please return the equipment to your local store or mail it back. The instructions to do so are on the website. Will there be anything else? ....did say what I said....but I didn't expect that response.  And thats how I came to cut the cord with DirecTV. That was in 2010 or so. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Should be a law that corporations are required to STFU when it comes to constitutional rights. I remember mocking a couple of guys in our shooting group back in 99 for wearing Levi's, they had no idea. Grown men bragging about mocking other grown men…over pants. Classy. I buy what I like, I listen to the music I like, I watch the movies I like, and I vote how I like. None of them have a damned thing to do with the other. If you based every purchase on politics, you’d starve to death naked. Levi’s didn’t become a clothing leviathan based on their politics, nor have they gone bankrupt over them. They are successful because they make a good pair of jeans, and they always have. Not as good as they once were, but nothing is. I find it entertaining when folks talk about how crappy they are in the same breath as they eschew their politics. I guess justification makes it easier on folks. |

That company has been run by hard-core leftists for at least 40 years now.
ETA I haven't bought any of their products since I had to deal with them on a contract when I was working for Andersen Consulting in the '90s. They were a huge PITA, and got the laptop of one of my office's traveling managers infested with some stupid boot sector virus. I had to fix it. The manager then handed me a 3.5" floppy disk that he said had his project documentation on it. I put it in my desktop machine (an IBM PS\2 ) and the Norton anti-virus software lit up like a fireworks show. The manager asked me if I could fix it. I said "Sure!" and put two bigass staples through it.That guy never liked me after that. |

I think my newest pair is about a decade old; when I got into guns and found out how awful they were I stopped buying them. I have some seriously worn out jeans that I don't wear but won't throw away. One pair has a hole in a rear pocket from carrying a flashlight, I ruined a sodbuster when it fell out from the hole and landed on the pivot end on my driveway.
Any suggestions for a 589 fit in 36x38? Part of the reason I stuck with them (and Columbia) is most companies stop about a size short from what I need. I even had two custom sized pairs, jeans and cargo pants, when that was a thing they did. |
