#3 "consumer appetite for that."

Really? I'd like to see that marketing study. Besides, nobody asked me.

#4 Costco Kirkland picked up a lifetime supply when they were under $15.

#5 Levi's is hugely anti 2-A. Been on my no buy list since long before the trans mania was a gleam in the marketing department's eyes.

#6 I stopped wearing them in my early 20s as I didn't like sitting on my wallet and had gotten to prefer cargo pockets from my time in the military.

#7 Levi’s are generally not a brand that MAGA men are likely to buy. Dickies, popular with blue collar Americans, made some kind of woke mistake a couple of years ago to my vague recall. I can’t remember what they did.
Conservative moms, on the other hand, might stop buying the kid’s sizes. That could have an impact, but I doubt they will see Bud Lite, Disney or Fox levels of backlash.

#8 Carhartt got on the woke bus. Haven't heard that they suffered much for it.

#9 It was them. My mistake.

#10 but I doubt they will see Bud Lite, Disney or Fox levels of backlash.

Nor will we. These three products have immediate results as they are day to day purchases. Clothing is more spread out, other than the quick hit soy beans who go out and buy a carhart beanie to be part of the in-crowd.

Have to look at August numbers for winter clothing stock actual vs. trendline covid adjusted.

Levi's went woke wayback. I think they already had chased off everyone but rich leftest daughters larping as country to hit on Mommy's stable boys.

#11 I still like my Levis, no apologies. They may be woke, but they've been my brand and a pair lasts 2+ years. I know how they fit as they have forever. My pair a year isn't keeping them in the black (was that a faux pas?)

#13 I haven't wore Levi's consistently for the past two years because (of my cycling) the thigh areas chafe too f'n much. The only reason I'm inclined to wear them is from a purely vanity standpoint. I have this one gig where I go into an office for the day and a couple of years ago I walked by two of the women in the accounting department (well, I'm a CPA so I'm there to help out) and I know both of them checked me out. As it happens, two weekends ago I was over one of their houses (buying weed from her) and I called her on it, because I'm an asshole at heart. She's like 'yeah, we checked you out.' Hope this shit can translate to Wranglers or I'll keep being a Masshole and wear shorts into December.

#14 I am amazed how people can be influenced to change their gender or sexual persuasion. Are there any Amish cross dressers?
