Wrangler supports the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association. I don't know much more about them except their Riggs Workwear jeans are extremely durable and the hubs says they're also comfortable.

Yeah I've gone full-on Duluth and 5.11. Still have some Carhartts for outside chores.
Shame about Nike. Their Army boots are the best of the lightweights. Guess I'll look at Danner or another brand next time.

There is very little that isn't made in the US any more. Even consider the textiles themselves, cotton probably grown elsewhere, fabric woven elsewhere, dyes, thread, yarn, ink, etc. You get my drift. So it may have been made in the US but it started elsewhere. Most likely sharing those original sources with brands people want to boycott. Even look at tools, most likely they came from the same manufacturer who just stamps a different name in the handle. We can continue to not buy products from X place, but at some point we will all be naked living in a cave again.
Levi also owns Dockers and Denizen brands too.

You pay for em, but they last 2-3yr or more of daily abuse. The ones I have on now are 2yrs old and will probably last at least 2 more. Super comfortable too. Not as light as the Nikes are though.

Website changed my buying habits for sure. They sell jeans made in Texas if that’s not merica enough for you I don’t know what is. They carry all kinds of things like silverware, jeans, shoes, garden tools, if it’s still made here they have it. I will never buy crap from China anymore if I can help it.

I like them a lot. More room in the crotch and I like the side pockets for my wallet and phone. I now wear them all the time, not just for work. They have rip stop in the material so even when I get a bad spot it doesn’t spread.

And today I get a 30% off Levi sale notice thru Paypal. I went to the Levi website and mentioned the offer and the fact I am a gun owner so they could go pack sand and maybe Bloomberg would make up for my lost sale.

Don't think they have jeans yet, but they have some awesome shirts. Not everything is U.S. made, but stuff that isn't, you can check a box & pay a dollar more for it to be U.S. made Great pro 2A & military slogan shirts

I stopped buying carhart awhile ago. They just dont last for me.
I will only buy Key pants now. Cheap and tough. I can buy two pairs of Keys for the price of one pair of carharts.
