Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Levis or Wranglers, and what does it say about you?

Never heard of Patagonia myself. Maybe those folks just don't know what Patagonia supports. It is getting hard to find companies that don't support some objectionable cause. For all the comments about Carhartt being made in America, I was looking at them on Cabela's and many of the carhartts are imports. Then they have a few labeled Union Made in America ... boy are they expensive.

I don't think I have seen that brand either but I am a pretty simple guy when it comes to clothing.

Every time I see a friend wearing Patagonia, they get the lecture. Every time. Until they get it.

Sounds like flowers to me.

I was unaware of Levi Straus's prominent anti gun stance and that impacted me the most.
I wear mostly Wranglers, that fact just sealed the deal.
We all need to support/boycott companies that have inputs into our chosen lifestyles.

I quit wearing Levis about 15yrs ago when then dropped support for the BSA. I didn't know about their anti-gun stance, but I'm not surprised----------a liberal is a liberal.

I wore Wranglers for about 10yrs, and have switched for the last five to Carhart, Prison Blues and Dickies dungarees.

Being a West Aussie cattle rancher, the only time I see wranglers in any numbers is at a rodeo. The Boot scooters love them too. Some will hate to hear this, I see some of the Gay community emgrace them over recent years. Most rural / farming / ranching folk wear Levis, tho there are other brands too that are popular - Thomas Cook, Yakka, RM Williams etc, etc... Lee bull Denim had a small following [including me], but Lee fell by the wayside when they droped the Bull Denim here. I don`t mind what people wear in their choice of denim or why. Politics aren`t in it here... If it did, I would be naked, starving, broke and without wheels! Funnily enough, Levis has said nothing anti-hunting or anti-firearm in this country that I am aware of. Neither have Wrangler, RM Williams or others... Which makes them a minority. Wrangers some hate em, some like em. Levis, some like em, some hate em. Wranglers are just Not for me, don`t like the cut or the look... Levis 501s and Walls Washed duck pants for extra hard wear, for me the 2 can`t be beat! Long Live what ever you want to throw your ass into...

ps: Carhartt are a good solid Brand. I met with their management team in Deeborn a few years ago, when I was looking to retail their products here Down Under. Yes some is US made to satisfy US unions and some is foreign made, same as Walls and others. Carhartt have a great product line, but people didn`t like the name anymore as it was no longer grass roots American. Had trouble with Carhartt wanting to control me and my operation with their own people too... So swithced to Walls. They are a great bunch of folks...
