#1 F you and your slave collars. Thanks for outing yourself as supporting slavery and your hatred for this nation and its people. I will ensure I do not buy anything produced by your company.

#2 Haven't bought Levis or jeans in over a decade and a half. Be easy to keep this boycott up.

#3 They should make bullet-proof pants. Then young black guys in Chicago wouldn't get their asses shot off by other young black guys.

#6 Then young black guys in Chicago wouldn't get their asses shot off by other young black guys.

But only if they pull their pants up past their knees...

#7 I'm not here to suggest we repeal the Second Amendment or to suggest that gun owners aren't responsible.

I've come to bury Caesar not the praise him.

In fact, as a former U.S. Army officer, I took a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

BTW, you be amazed how many 'officers' don't know the Constitution. There's never a test to evaluate their knowledge on that subject. For them it's like millions of button clicking for Terms of Usage that pop up everyday for Accept or Don't Accept. How many actually read those through?

#8 I quit Levi's when they dropped the Boy Scouts (a lot of good that did). Since then, they produce over seas so I could car less about them, liked the product back then though.

#10 I worked there for a few years in the early 2000's. Not a bad place at the time and they did do a lot of good community work but that's when they actually had a CEO who was business focused and not a SJW. Berg is comfortable with his own team - as they say and you can tell that by their commercials.
Their product never fit women well - as Mrs. Warthog can attest. At this point I mourn the loss of a true icon on the sword of PC bullshit.

#11 Go woke go broke. Good luck Levi. You might try to parse this as even handed but once you joined up with Bloomberg you showed your colors.

Should have:
(1) Allied with the NRA for gun safety classes (2) Paid for a national awareness campaign about securing weapons so that thieves and or your own kids on meds can't steal them. (3) Pushed for legislation that puts some kind of accountability on anyone that does a half-assed background check that allows known offenders and to purchase weapons and on mental health professionals that don't follow up on those they prescribe certain medicines known to cause a handful of folks to go bloody crazed.

#12 Businesses doing charity work is ok. When the CEO goes directly after our constitution, it is unacceptable. Big business does not get to spend their capitol om changing our constitution. Big business cant be allowed to breach this.

#13 I would guess it's a marketing campaign appealing to the uber-leftists.

#14 Last I saw they were twice the price of a working man's blue jean.

#15 How about coming out with a line of Levis that facilitate concealed carry?
