Umm -

Let us just be a little careful here.......

"With the construction of a 200,000-square-foot factory in Penjemo, Mexico, in September 1998, that would employ 500 union workers, Carhartt began making new products outside the United States. However, the company planned to continue making its core products at its existing U.S. facilities."

FWIW

And that makes them anti-gun how?
 
Hello
Teach kids with this program Eddie Eagle® through the NRA it teaches kids the safe use and handling of guns.:D Not a program like levis to teach them to be Anti Gun.:barf:

Levi is also known for treating their workers very badly. Which is another reason I won't buy their crap.
 
How can you not support the end of gun violence? Keeping illegal guns off the streets is not a bad thing.
 
I havent worn levis for a number of years, but my dad still wears them. I'm sending him an email right now. I only wear Carhartt and Cinch jeans. The anti-gun company that broke my heart is Cummins Engine Co. :(
 
I think I stopped wearing levis jeans (or any of their products) over ten years ago.

There are much better jeans out there for just a little more ($$).

No doubt!.....There's also much better jeans out there for less $$.....LOL
 
Not sure if they are anti or not, but 7 for all minkind jeans are great. They are a bit pricey,($150-200) but they are cut very well and I really like them. No Levis for me.
 
I once worked for a company run by a very active Republican. Company and employees are strong financial supporters. I'd hate to think any contracts were won or lost because of this.

I buy the best jeans for me. If they were Levis, so be it. But I'm a GAP guy.
 
The PAX group is quite misguided.

The question they want to be asked is: "Is there a gun?" That is nobody's business.

The proper question, if you were going to ask, is: "Are there any guns within reach of children?" That question can be answered "No" without invading privacy.
 
Levi's is anti trucker as well, several years ago they decided to not supply truck stops with their products, as in their opinion, truck drivers were not the target audience they wished to serve anymore. I've not bought a pair of their britches since, guess I didn't hurt them much as I wasn't buying their over-priced products before either.
 
To heck with Levi Jeans and their overpriced, poorly made, mediocre products.
Wranglers FTW!
 
I've worn Levi's (501) since they first came out. I do like the way they fit. However, I'm sure they don't feel as good as a set of cold cuffs will feel one day when my guns are outlawed. I realise this may sound a bit "out there" to some of you, but how many multi-billion dollar Corporations and paid off, hand fed politicians is it going to take to realize their utopian dream? NOT ENOUGH I hope and pray. There will always be resisters and dissidents, just like in the USSR for half a century. It only takes one small flea to make a dog itch and scratch.

I've been kind of pissed about their "stance" for a while, but as ashamed as I am to admit it, I bought them anyway. The last few pairs I bought however, were absolutely pieces of sh#t. The denim felt paper thin and didn't last 3 months before they started to turn almost white and wear through. Sorry folks, but I'm NOT a teeneager who walks around with half my ass hanging out or my pale white legs showing to the world :D. Maybe this is the STYLE nowadays but it sure as hell ain't MY style. I am fortunate in that I can wear jeans (in good condition) to work everyday, for the most part. So when I drop $40 for a pair of jeans that are "freaking" useless in 3 months, it's time to buy a different tag. It's Wranglers for me, and I will be telling them why.

Thanks to the original poster for not only letting everyone know how to get in touch with them, but also for letting us know how little they give a sh#t about us as a "small" part of their customer base. Just like everything else in a consumer driven world, let them know how you feel with your checkbook, but ALSO, just LET THEM KNOW why you will be buying their competion's product from now on, and do it. I heard a coworker suggest the other day to enclose a copy of the receipt for a really big purchase, say around the beginning of school, that shows another brand purchased, and tell them they will NEVER get another penny of your money. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Just remember folks, a significant part of their profit comes from teenagers and young kids. Who pays for those clothes? When those kids mature into adults, they tend to continue buying what they have been accustomed to wearing (for the most part). Yeah, I know, there are some real "special" cases out there from looking at the clothes some of these kids wear nowdays. Stand your ground, and by God, don't buy their crap for your kids either. Take one away from their future customer base as well as their current market share.
 
Pocket carry; an effort to make this thread on-topic...

Nothing new about this. Levi Strauss was a pioneer in the corporate world in the effort to ban firearms.

Keep in mind that DOCKERS, which seem favored by so many for pocket carry, are a Levi Strauss product. Wrangler Riatas are a comparable product from Wrangler. I have carried two SP101s, one in each front pocket, while wearing Riata pleated slacks.

Okay, I guess I need some edumication here. I don't claim to know much of anything about Pax USA, the organization referred to in the quoted message, except that their website reflects two initiatives: One to encourage parents ensure that their kids don't have access to guns where they play, and the second to encourage kids in school to report concerns about threats of violence before they materialize as shootings.

Is there more? Because, if there isn't neither of these approaches seems out of line. It doesn't particularly matter to me since I don't wear Levi's anyway, but it seems a lot of folks here are willing to join a boycott without knowing why they're boycotting. Could someone fill us in on their anti-RKBA efforts, if there are any?

PAX is the organization that started the whole "Ask if your children's friends have guns in the house" campaign. Instead of common sense measures that teach children to leave firearms alone, or for parent to keep firearms secure, they have a different approach-ostracize the children of parents who have firearms.

Something else I have noticed of late. Many of these organizations have changed their names to something that says on the lines of stopping gun violence. The Brady Bunch doesn't come right out and say they want to ban all firearms. Instead, change the name so people don't realize what is happening.

PAX also promotes calling if students threaten to carry a gun to school. No one wants to allow students to carry firearms. What they fail to tell you is most (if not all) school systems have procedures in place to keep adminstrators informed and clear guidelines for teachers and students to follow if they fear a student IS capable of this.
 
A leading concern among youth is the increase in gun violence.

But I thought the annual DOJ/FBI crime statistics report shows that violent crime has been decreasing since the 1990's???





Meanwhile, the fastest growing problem among youth is childhood obesity.

So if they are so concerned, why doesn't Levi stop making big pants???
 
Umm, the reply from Levi's says they are "dedicated to the vision of a society free of gun violence".

Well heck, so am I.

It said nothing about if they are actually against guns as objects. I know, I'm being pretty nit-picky, but that's how we have to be to correctly debate the topic.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns cites that same line of BS, but a quick read of the organizations goals certainly dispels that simple statement. Anti-gunners use that line as a crutch to sound reasonable, but the goal of taking guns out of the hands of all citizens sure as hell would make a society free of gun violence wouldn't it?
