I stopped buying Levi's about 10 yrs ago because they are anti gun. I wear Wranglers and they are pro gun. AND only made in Oklahoma, USA.

I quit buying Levi's years ago as well due to their anti-gun stance. I buy Wranglers for $15 a pair or Lee. The Wranglers fit better and wear better. On top of that, Levi's had a store policy that you could not buy more than 3 pairs at a given time and stores were not allowed to discount them, all sale prices had to be approved by Levi management. F*&K Levi Strauss.

A year ago they pulled their manufacturing out of the US and went to Taiwan or someplace.
Thay said the decision was made so they could concentrate on marketing. I went to Target the next day and concentrated on Wranglers! |

I've switched to BDU trousers for almost all casual wear.
They last, they've got lots of pockets, and they're more comfortable than anything else you'll ever wear. I'm wearing desert tricolors right now, as a matter of fact. CJ |

Quoted: Thats a shame that they are anti. A J-frame fits perfectly in the front pocket of their jeans. And if it was up to the groups that they support, you would not be able to own that J-frame - or any other frame. I dumped levi's years ago, they pretty much said they they didn't care about U.S sales as they could not keep up with their european demand. the demand was another reason they restricted U.S. sales and jacked prices through the roof. they offered their support to liberal nanny groups approved by their employees, they lost mine. why support a company that wants to hurt me, especially when there are other alternatives. IMO their jeans suck anyway. |

I'm another Levi to Rangler convert. I switched about 3 years ago after learning of Levi's anti-gun position. My Ranglers fit just as well and cost a whole lot less.

I'd love to switch, but I haven't found anything that looks or feels as good as a pair of Levis. I haven't bought a new pair in years, but I need some new ones now and just can't find anything that works.
I'm thinking Dickies if I can find a retailer with a good selection. |

I haven't bought Levis in about 5 years. Stopped when I heard of their gun stance and I love shrink to fit 501's. When your built like a refrigerator with a head any customizing you can get helps.[}:D]
If you don't like the way Wrangler 13MWZ jeans fit try their 31MWZ style. They are cut a little fuller in the seat and thigh. Also try Kohl's jeans if there is a store in your area. Their classic fit is pretty close to the 501 cut and I've had good luck as far as wear goes. The only drawback to them is you cant get those dark blue unwashed ones. I hate buying jeans that look like they are two years old when new. |

Nothing new there. Levis has been anti-gun for a long time. At least since the mid to late 90's when I found out they were. As such, I haven't bought Levi's in years and the ones I did have were replaced with other brands like Eddie Bauer and Carhartt when they wore out.
It never ceases to amaze me when big corporations take a political stance on controversial issues like gun control or abortion, etc. To me it seems like a no-win situation for them as no matter what stance they take, they are going to piss somebody off. |

I'm a Levi's kind of guy too, I hate the fit of most other jeans.......I do have some Carhartt though and they wear and fit very well. Pricey though.......for that matter so are Levi's. |

Yup, like a lot of others here I wore Levi 501s my whole life until I learned about their anti-gun stance via the Internet in 1999. I wrote them and got a variation of the same letter at the top of this thread basically telling me they didn't want my money.
So, I shopped around a while and now buy Wranglers primarily. I also discovered that the Wranglers are much tougher than the Levis and cheaper to boot. Now I wouldn't switch back even if Levis did drop support for PAX because among other things, they make a crappy product. |

When I started wearing jeans it so happened I wore almost the same size as my dad....
Levi's Lifetime Warranty means I take them back and get them replaced -- free. He had drawers full of wore out Levi's. I took about 15 pairs back and got them exchanged. These jeans were from as early as 1980. I don't think I have paid for a pair of jeans in at least 10 years. Just keep recycling them to the Levi's store. They actually lose money on every pair I take back. [:D] I still have 20 pair left to take back from my dad. [:D] |

Levi's, like most jeans, are cut so high in the crotch that unless you buy those idiotic ass-draggers, you have to be a frigging eunuch to wear them.

Levi's anti position has been well known for years, as has a gun owner boycott on them. Nice to see it brought up for those who don't know though. BTW, Wranglers are a better "fit", on me. (Sherrick, are you any where near "Norman" OK?) |

Only difference is I switched to Eddie Bauers. Only problem is that that means I have to go to malls. I hate malls. That probably has something to do with my overall dislike of people in general [:)]. |

Quoted: NFW that less than 11 children die everyday from natural causes. As surprising as it may seem many more than 11 children die every day from "natural causes". I interpret natural causes to be a disease process resulting in organ failure and would eliminate congential anomalies, chromosomal abnormalities, SIDS, sepsis etc. deaths that account for more than 27,000 infant deaths by "natural causes" in the US per year. According to the latest information available from the CDC the leading causes of death are heart disease, neoplasms, COPD, accidents, (in that order). More than 27 children die per day in the US die from malnutrition which would result in organ failure. When one looks at total number of deaths, motor vehicles account for the largest number, 50 deaths per million children under age 10. Drownings account for 21 deaths per million children, fire 19 deaths per million, while suffocation accounts for 18 deaths per million. Accidents involving toys was far down on the list, claiming 0.4 lives per million children. While accidental deaths combine to create the most common cause of death for children under 10, homicide was the second-highest single cause, resulting in 24 deaths per million. The number of gun-related deaths is 5 in the under-10 age group. The above stats are from the CDC. TT [wave] |
