Boy, Dicks keeps doubling down on stupid.
Toms I get... they are a liberal hippy-dippy company, but I'm surprised at Levi. Guess they are no longer the miner's friends that they started as.

There was a time in my younger days when people saw firearms daily on the shelves of a very large number of stores.
It's not a good thing when stores drop the sales of firearms. The comparative lack of visual firearms exposure in stores nowadays has had much to do with demonizing firearms over the years in the minds of many.
That said, with this puke of a CEO, Dick's needs to be out of the firearm's business entirely.
Can't happen soon enough. Good riddance. Hope you close entirely.

Levi's donated a substantial chunk of money to Gabby Giffords group last year. As mine wear out, I'll be replacing with Wranglers...I've already retired one pair and bought Wrangler....unfortunately the waist number went up by 1...
Screw them...

I haven't owned a pair of Levi's in twenty plus years. They were liberal/anti back then. Look where they are from that crap hole San Francisco.

Dicks and Levis have been dead to me for a while. Never heard of TOMS or RXR.

I'm not calling on a boycott of these companies. Very simply me and mine will use our dollars elsewhere.
Wrangler jeans are just more consistent in their sizing, cheaper too. Dicks actually mentioned their sales decline being due to lack of gun sales and their position on the AR in their Earnings Conference call, so they know and continue their ways.

Really? Levi was giving money to Million Mom March back in the 90s. Haven't worn their garbage in years.

Tractor Supply stocks "boot cut" Wranglers. JCPenny used to be the only local retailer who occasionally stocked Levi's 517s, sometimes. Since I'm at TSC regularly to pick up chicken feed (and occasionally to pick up chicks,) I'm a Wrangler guy.
Ditto. Funny thing is my kids don't wear jeans ever. It's not fashionable in their crowd.

Alex, what are four brands or shops I never buy?

And better built.
My kids only wore them when they were toddlers and didn't have a say.
I grew up in them starting with the cardboard-stiff fresh off the assembly line style.

Heroin is illegal in all 50 States and the City of Bloodymore gives junkies a clean safe place to inject their poison.
If only, simply making something illegal could stop the use of it.

Cardboard stiff is right! Like wearing dimension lumber duct taped onto your legs.
Brings back memories. That was when nobody called them jeans. They were dungarees. And Mom would absolutely refuse to wash them until they got dirty because they were brand new.

I have a stack of Levi 559's in the closet at home; wearing a pair now. I see no reason for a jeans manufacturer to stick their nose into politics and take a side. As my existing pants slowly wear out one by one, I'll reconsider what I replace them with.
It sucks too; after spending years to find the brand, model, and size that fits exactly how I want, some jackass in upper management goes and jumps into politics. There's no need for it.
