Boycott Levi Strauss
I just read an article published by the NRA that says the CEO of Levi Strauss is promoting the anti agenda to the point of even paying his employees extra to volunteer in anti gun programs.Several years ago the NRA posted an article in the American Rifleman that listed anti gun businesses + to boycott their products. The only one I remember now was Kraft Foods. I have never bought another Kraft product since then.I know my little act of not buying a box of mac+ cheese won't mean much but if all the gun owners in this country ban a product;that might make a difference as the companies in question main goal is the bottom line.

I've boycotted them for years. 10 or 12 years ago, the NRA put out a list of anti gun organizations and they were on it then. Levi's were what I wore for years and as much as I hated to give them up, I went to Wranglers. I won't support them.

What Hogbreath said. Haven't bought Levis for many years now. To hell with them.

It’s Wranglers for me. I cut off a couple of Levies patches from some jeans and emailed a picture of the jeans minus the patches and told them no more of my money. Ever.

Same for me-Wranglers. I haven't seen any need for Levis since I was a teenager. Now I see even less than no need to buy them.

Yeah,I have been wearing Wranglers for years. I just thought it would be good to get the word out. I wish the NRA would publish an updated list of anti gun companies.As I said,it's the bottom line for companies + several million customers not buying their product is a sound incentive for rethinking their stand on this issue.

I wish I had seen that list long ago. I wear them, but once they fall apart they will not be replaced by the same. I will return to Wrangler. It seems Levi’s is realizing their San Francisco roots.


I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills.

For years, I have been wearing only Beretta Classic Jeans. They are made in the United States and sold by a PRO-GUN company. They also seem much better made to me than than those from the big two, which I don't think have been made in the USA for a long time.

I generally wear Carhartts, but ran across a brand called Prison Blues that is intriguing. They are made by prisoners with the idea of giving them something productive to do and teaching them a trade. Sounds like a good cause and I'm going to try them.

About 30 years ago I had a A/C customer that I was building metal for who had been in prison for shooting a guy in a bar parking lot (self defense but that did'nt really matter;he still did time).He said that there was a guy inside who was a wiz at rewinding electric motors,then added,of course there was nothing else to do.
