Boycott !

Post by GunnyMack »

Saw that Levi Strauss has gone full ANTI-GUN. CEO told employees to join anti groups.
I've never liked their products so I dont have to worry much but some here might feel like burning their jeans!!( please, no pics of you standing in your skivvies while burning your 501's!) :o

They've done similar before, and as such I haven't worn Levi's for decades.

That and I can buy generic jeans at Big R or Bomgaars for less than 1/3 the cost.

This being a family-friendly, high-class place, I can't tell you what I think of the Levi corporate position. No Levis at my house! :evil:

Life seems to be getting easier. I now have no"hard" decisions about where to eat fast food (Chick-fil-a, In-N-Out burgers) and what to wear (no Levis, no Nike)... :lol:

There's no many anti gun companies now. I was in Columbus, Ohio last weekend and noticed a sign on the Buffalo Wild Wings door "No firearms permitted in this establishment".

Levis has been anti gun for a long time. Haven't worn their garbage in 25 years.
Buffalo Wild Wings sucks anyway. Being anti gun is just icing on the cake.

Yeah, I have a Wrangler sort of butt - a MUCH more comfortable yoke (crotch design) for me.

I've thought about calling buffalo Wild Wings and ordering 100 wings. Then when it was time to pick them up I'd call again from the front door and say I just saw your sign so I can't come in and get them so I guess i'll just go to Hooters.

I've done similar things; even negotiated a big business-account transfer to a bank once, then saw the sign, and said "Is that sign serious...?" ['Yes sir, why do you ask...'] "No way I would ask my employees or my spouse to come to this branch, if you don't allow concealed carry...!"
I just turned around and left, shaking my head. The manager called a few times and I just told him "If you want my business, change your policy" He went so far as to say "Well, we don't really enforce it..." but said 'corporate' wouldn't allow the signs to be taken down.

It is always good to push back against nonsense like that. I've not bought Kraft products since the 1970's due to their anti-gun attitude. As Dan Bongino says....."conservatives never forget".

Sorry guys... the boys just fit better in 501s... besides, their resale after I've worn them out is better than Wranglers. 'Sides, the wife loves poppin' those buttons!!! 8)

Although, for ridin', Wranglers get the nod... :P

Not to mention the sales girls at the outlet store are easier on the eyes than the ones @ Wal-Mart!

As for those "anti" eateries... well, I just ignore their signs... doesn't apply to peace officers! And love it when they offer "halfsies" for our "boys in blue"!

I’ve worn Levi’s exclusively since the mid 70’s , well that was until about six months ago when I decided my twenty year old Levi’s might need some replacements worked in the rotation . Anyway I bought some thru mail order and when I got uhm the fabric was about half as thick . So now I’ve bought five or six pairs of Carharts to work in the rotation . Quite frankly if they still made the same fabric I wouldn’t change , but the rest of you do what you want .
