I'll be damned! Was it for the Boy Scout thing?
Back when Levi's came out against the Boy Scouts I stopped buying their product. I haven't bought ANY Levi's prod. since then. I never even mentioned it to anyone. I wonder how many others stopped buying Levis since then?

The company's position on the BSA would have done it, but my boycott predated that. The company became politically correct long ago, probably as much from geographical influence as anything else, being headquartered in SF.

There's no evidence that this is due to a lack of sales, rather they're producing the product where labor is cheap.

Same here. Wore Levis every day for 15 years, then they pulled their funding from the Boy Scouts and I've never worn a pair since. Got two pairs for christmas, I took them back and exchanged them for Lee.
