I'm telling you that. The last US Levi's plant closed it's doors a few
years ago in 2003! Haven't you noticed that the denim is now about half as
thick as it used to be? I have worn Levi's 501's since the 70's, and their
anti American business practices and politics really piss me off.

To make it worse they are avid supporters of gun control. That really
pisses me off.

Until they started manufacturing cheaper thinner foreign made 501's in the
last 3 years, it was really hard for me to keep from buying them. Not any
more.
