I was vaguely familiar with Levis' anti gun attitude and the other day I decided to email Levis and tell them why I refuse to buy their products (I have an old Levis jacket). I expected a B.S. response, but what I got was a hard core marxist anti gun response:

Hi ****,

Cassandra here from Levi's(R). Thanks for checking in with us.

For several years, Levi Strauss & Co. has focused on empowering youth to make social change on issues they care about. A leading concern among youth is the increase in gun violence.

We hope to take a leadership position on this issue by supporting PAX, a non-profit anti-violence organization, dedicated to the vision of a society free of gun violence. Levi Strauss & Co. supports PAX's goal to bring all Americans together to support common sense solutions to the gun violence epidemic.

If you'd like more information about the PAX organization, please visit their web site at www.paxusa.org.

If there's anything else we can help you with, just email us back or give us a call at 1-800-USA-LEVI. We're available Monday - Friday, 6:00am - 4:30pm Pacific Time.

Thanks again,

Cassandra

This email might as well have come from the most extremist left wing nutjob at the U.N.

Buying anything with Levis on it is the same as sending a check directly to the most rabid anti gun group you can imagine.
 
Nothing wrong with washing and line drying your jeans and donating them when worn out. Is this what you are complaining about? :D JK

I love my Levi's, I just look so good in my slim cut boot pair for being a big guy. I haven't tried Wrangler's yet, next time I'm jean shopping I'll look for some. Besides, Favre is the cover boy (man) for them, and I look up to him as role model.
 
With the fear of sounding very anti gun.......who cares.

This is turning into the age old "buy American" so the economy can improve. It never will just because you buy American.

You cannot fully isolate yourself from anti gunners in every aspect of your life at all times forever. You can take logical steps like joining and participating in the NRA or by getting into CMP.

Why not be totally right wing while your at it and live off the grid so the money grubbing power companies cannot profit off of you.

Did you know Microsoft promotes a liberal agenda? You better get rid of your computer. Buy a Mac but wait, they support a liberal agenda too. Good luck in your quest my friend because the anti-gunners are too many to avoid.
 
Wow! Do you mind if I copy that response to include in another email to them to let them know why they just lost 11 more customers with my immediate family?
 
I'm all for the environmental stuff... but PAX is actually a PRO-violence group, not an ANTI-violence one as they claim. They are anti-gun. More guns = less crime. Less crime = less violence. Therefore, PAX is pro-violence. Levi's ADMITS to supporting PAX. I cannot in good conscience donate to pro-violence supporters like Levis. Wore them faithfully for years, but haven't in the last 15 since I found about about their pro-violence stance.

The GAP and Arizona are two quality brands of jeans I've had good luck with in the place of Levi's.
 
I noticed that they said they want a society free of gun violence.

1. Who doesn't want that? But the gun control advocates think passing new laws are the answer. Also, they should be careful to distinguish between aggression and self-defense, something the general public too often fails to do.
2. Why single out gun violence? Why not include baseball bat violence, brass knuckle violence, etc? Aren't all forms of violence bad regardless of the tool?

While many of the folks here at THR are familiar with these lines of thought, I don't think the people at Levi's are. If you haven't responded, maybe you could provide a response along these lines.
 
You can also buy pants from Beretta, Browning, Filson, and others who aren't exactly known for being anti-gun. They're not cheap, but what the hell.:D
 
I won't buy them anymore even though their belt loops seem to facilitate the best placement for my IWB holster's clips (hey maybe I should send them a picture :evil:).
I'll stick with Carhartt, they are more durable anyway.
 
Maybe it's best that I don't know who all the anti-gun companies are, but when I find out that one is, they're off my "buy from" list. No more Levis!
 
Levi's is based in San Francisco and support a bunch of liberal causes, and has for a long, long time. Their recent creepy commercials showed this to a lot of people.
 
Have you seen some of the Levi jean comercials lately ?

It even has a part about "Get your weapons ready ....Have you your pistols ?...Have you your sharp edged axe's ? "
Are they sending out mixed signals ?

Shoot. I really like my Levis jeans...they're all I have purchased since I stopped wearing Toughskins as a child.

I'll have to give this some consideration...even though they conceal my IWB rig quite well. Maybe I should send photos, too. :p

You should. Love sticking it to companies when their product is excellent for what they are trying to fight.

I don't get Levi commercials lately. So friggin weird. Next time I will ask if they have any jeans that can comfortably fit pistols and sharp edged axes.
 
Levi's are going for the fashion market, and have been for a while. They're not trying to sell clothes that make sense, to people who need rugged pants.

I'm not sure which was the chicken and which was the egg, but everyone I see lately working outdoors, wears Carhartts, not Levi's.
 
All -

Just so you know........re Levi's.

"By the 1990s, the brand was facing competition from other brands and cheaper products from overseas. Production facilities in Canada and the United States closed and supply of finished products came from places like China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Lesotho, Dominican Republic, Colombia and Mexico."

Gun violence is much worse than knife,or baseball bat violence.Everyone knows that when you are killed by a gun that you are much deaderer than if you were killed by a knife,baseball bat or text messaging soccer Mom.Oh the humanity !:banghead:
