Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire No more Levi's for me

I have worn Levi's all of my life, they were always my jeans of choice but no more, I will not spend money with a company that is openly supporting the LGBT movement and making a run of pants to celebrate the movement.

p.s. - any suggestions about another brand of jeans that fit and feel like Levi's?

but you were fine when they were anti gun all these years?

Levi's have backed lgbt movement for at least 20 years. Switched way back.

Well yes, something that doesn't have a rainbow on the outside and a butt-plug on the inside.

Wranglers fit better anyway.

A local farm store carries Dickies for about $18 a pair.
They fit fine and last as long as the more expensive ones. I'm into price and function, not brand names.

Levi's haven't been welcome at a cowboy match for as long as I can remember. Always wore Wranglers.

So, will that run have zippers on both the front and the back?

My area is Wranglers only. And Carhartts show up often. Never see a pair of Levi's 'cept when the Colorado tourists pass through.

I know it's tough to keep up on the politics of every company we buy stuff from.. but thought everyone was aware of Levi's proclivities.

This and at 1/2 the price.

I quit Levis in the '90s when they quit donating to the Boy Scouts. Wranglers for years and Carhartts now.

Being a guy that wore Levi's most of his life, especially for their longevity, I switched when they stopped making jeans that fit my bulked up legs from too much weight lifting and hard work. Wrangler's were the westerner's favorite, seems even cowboy types wear a uniform and follow fashion trends. When I retired, I found labels on these products that showed they were no longer US made. Then I found this brand, US made, stronger than a tow strap, they even make biker jeans with Kevlar reinforcement (I haven't ridden a bike since 1980 so no application). I haven't worn a pair out yet:

Ain't cheap, but fit superbly, compliment my western shirts, cowboy packers and custom big hats.

TFF!

I think it will be a BUTT-on fly opening in the rear.

I got ice tea in my fuggin' nose!

I wished I could say this...

So its Levi's still for me. But I have nothing against the gay folks, its their deal not mine.

The anti gun deal sucks. But I'm lucky I only need 2 pair of Levis at any time. Going more Carhart and Duluth lately.

Dickies, Wranglers, or Costco for me - in that order.

I love being able to point to the label and say "Kiss my Dickies."

Those look like nice Jeans.
Don't like Levi's 'cause they grab my nuts.
Now it makes sense.

Carhartts are pretty decent too - I tend to wear them hunting/in the woods. They'll take a beating.

AFAIK, Levi Strauss has been anti-gun even before I was born, and for the record that was in 1938. Once I learned that fact I quit wearing them and have not worn a pair since sometime in the mid 1950's. Then they came out as being against hunting in any form. I've called a few people out that I knew were shooters and hunters on how coming you're supporting the enemy. This gay support crap is just more icing on a very crappy cake than I will never partake of. Note to Levi Strauss, GFY and I mean that in the nastiest form possible.
