I think I have worn Levi's most of my jean wearing life.

1. Great to Hear!

I have worn Levi's blue jeans almost daily for nearly fifty years. They are an iconic American brand. I'm happy they are supporting real American values instead of folding like a cheap suit like so many other once-proud institutions have.

2. This story is

riveting!



Seriously, good on them!

[GiqueCee]

4. Legend has it...

... that, according the the Wayback Machine, the original Levis had rivets in the top corners of the back pockets. But cowboys complained that the rivets damaged the cantles of their saddles, which were considerably higher than today's western saddles with their Cheyenne rolls and such. So the good Mr. Levi did away with the back-pocket rivets.

7. Great piece of trivia, GiqueCee

8. Da nada...

... you're welcome!

3. Hooray! I just got two new pairs of button fly 501 classics

[everybody everybody]

10. They're not made in America anymore.

Haven't been for years.

13. Your point? This thread is about DEI.

[everybody everybody]

14. Good morning!

I just want to let people know that Levi's isn't a good old-fashioned apple pie American company based out of San Francisco anymore. During the Reagan '80s when our factories were shuttered and jobs sent to Mexico, Levi's was still made here. When they finally left it was a punch to the gut.

[Scrivener7]

15. And again, this thread is about DEI. Do you have anything to say about that?

16. Pardon our manners, please. And welcome to DU!

I think it is perfectly appropriate to add some tangential information to any discussion.

[Scrivener7]

17. I sometimes read profiles.

[everybody everybody]

18. Thank you so much!

I realize it wasn't exactly what was being discussed but the company's policy being praised kind of obscures the fact that it doesn't have the same relationship with this country as it used to. As a woman, Levi's jeans for men saved my butt--literally--in the early '90s when the Britney Spears fad of low-riding jeans showed the butt crack when you sat down. That was horrible enough but they were also so uncomfortable. The problem was that by then they were no longer being manufactured in the USA and I believe I had dye issues with streaks forming. That's a no-no.

5. WTF? There is no public support for "Hate they Neighbor"?

Republicans should have heard of the Christian phrase "Love Thy Neighbor". And Quakers would add, "no exceptions!"

6. Big shoutout to Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY).

He's an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune. Looks like I'll have to go back to wearing Levis again (I've been a Wrangler guy for quite a while).

[Pinback]

9. Great!

I own a few pairs and will keep patronizing their brand.

[Biophilic]

11. Trump/gop/project2025 are forcing this country to take sides.

I’m hoping it surprises the hell out of them and their followers.

12. They've never fit me very well, but I guess now I'll fork out the money to get them tailored.
