Pretty soon, everybody here is gonna be pantsless, shirtless, and shoeless, just sitting around wrapped in a bedsheet typing . . .

LOL. Nope, sheets are made in China. I'm trying not to envision a bunch of mostly nekkid folks sitting in front of their monitors.

Please pass the mind bleach.

Not all of them. I don't have these yet, but I'm considering them next time we need more sheets . . .

I haven't worn jeans since 1972, partly because in college it was The Uniform, and A Statement, and I just didn't like them.
Politics has a lot do with where I spend my money. I will not give my dollars to companies that are anti-gun-nor to countries.

I have a pair of slippers marked levi strauss,came from mexico.
Guess I will either have to wear them out or use em for targets!

I haven't worn jeans in years. Last time I did, Carhartt's. I'm sure there's something unholy about Carhartt...

You may be right. I hear Carhartts have become quite popular within a certain demographic.

I just found out about their anti gun stance. Like the idea of donating them and eliminating two sales. Hope they and Nike tank!

Does Levis make overalls?

I've worn Levi's most of my life. Up to the mid 80's, I never had to to try them on, I knew my size and they were consistent. About 1990, I got fed up because of the size and design changes and tried Wranglers and Lees and they were sized different, but were consistent.

I've bought 3 pairs of Levi's in the past 25 years and that was because they had tan jeans that I loved the color and Levi's only offer them every few years and I buy a pair.

When I do buy a pair of Levi's, I donate $20 to the NRA!

Another example of how out of the mainstream I have become. I've never heard of Carhartts. BTW, someone earlier mentioned shopping at Goodwill. My wife buys most of her clothing there and it's surprising how much she finds that appears to have never been worn. Last Christmas she bought me four beautiful Greg Norman golf shirts that seem to be brand new for $3 each.

I stopped wearing jeans of any kind in 1997, when I went to India. See there, NOBODY wears jeans, it's khakis galore, and after wearing khaki pants all day, every day, and realizing just how comfortable they were and how professional they look, I never went back to jeans.

I even go hunting in khakis!

I'm also not fond of anti freedom companies though.......

Who wants to look professional, the day after I retired, I went into my closet and took all of my button down shirts and my work pants out and took them to a good will box, then I went out and bought several pair of Wranglers and about 20 tee shirts and thats all I have worn since.I shave when I feel like it, my wife says I look like a bum but it sure does feel good.

I first noticed that Levis became flimsy and quick to fall apart back in the late 1990's.This was shortly after "stonewashed" became the standard for most of their products. Rather than making jeans more comfortable and giving them an aged appearance, I believe that the real purpose of "stonewashing" was to serve as a sort of Trojan Horse to usher in shoddily made jeans. Because they were already broken-in when you bought them, people took a lot longer to notice that something wasn't quite right and the jeans didn't last long at all. Some fools were even buying new jeans with holes in the knees!! Little did they realize that you could buy a brand new pair of "regular" jeans and, in only a few months time, wear your own holes in them. I remember the belt loops tearing off and the hole in the crotch seam as being pretty much a given after only a few wearings and washings. It is hard to believe that Levis remains in business by this point in time.

Lots of Nike stuff there now, I've heard . . .

Good for you. I'm a lot of the same way.

The Levis jeans I bought recently (post #60) were very well manufactured (where, I don't know), and seem to be made of excellent material, so I am surprised to read of all the complaints about poor quality. My dissatisfaction with them is the company's politics and the condescending, patronizing tag they put on the pants saying not to wash them very often. WTH??? I don't know when my pants need to be laundered?

But even worse is their anti-Second Amendment advocacy. I'm done with Levis for good. I'm not going to burn anything, though, just like I didn't scrap my Ruger products when ol' Bill Ruger stabbed us in the back (Google "the Ruger Letter"). Those companies just don't get any more of my business.

Message to Levis: "Shut up and make jeans".

From the numerous reports I've heard over the years, Bill Ruger supplied the best remedy against the effects of dangerous high-capacity rifles...he marketed the seemingly worthless Mini-14 and Mini-30 series of rifles which jammed on every other shot.
