We don't like their donations but economically I bet they gain way more then they lose. With less than 200K of trappers in the USA and being a global company we are not loose change in one of their front pockets.
Bryce But that is no reason to give them a pass! People always talk about recycling, and the part they play is not even minuscule to the big pic, but it makes them feel better. That is how I look at this. I wore levis all through my teenage years clear up to presant, but have switched to wranglers now because.....well the girls like wrangler butt, so I'm told. Truth of the matter, I can't hardly get my big paws into the front pockets of wranglers, and still like the fit of levis better, but alas, no more! I'll deal with the tight pockets!

They pulled their support of the Boy Scouts years ago when the scouts refused to have gays as leaders Did Levi re-instate their support for BSA after they caved in having gal leaders...?

Go to Levi Strauss company website and you'll find that they donate a percentage of sales to "Everytown for Gun Safety" a Michael Bloomberg group dedicated to banning guns, even if they say that's not what they want, only "Common sense Gun Laws". They also donate to groups that want to ban hunting,trapping, and wearing of fur. I'm not totally thrilled about some of the other groups like the Rainbow coalition either. The gist of this is DON'T BUY LEVI PRODUCTS !!!!!!!!! nuke 'em

I quit buying Levi's years ago... The price kept going up. And the quality kept going down... especially the thickness of the denim, tissue paper thin.

I switched to All American Clothing Company almost 10 years ago. They have the best fitting jeans I've ever worn. They're a bit more expensive but worth the price. You can read the story of Lawson Nickol who founded the company here: https://www.allamericanclothing.com/ABUS.html

Had some 501s in 80s, the last Levi's I ever owned. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
