*It's bad enough that Levi Strauss supports all sorts of left-wing causes....now they completely manufacture abroad too. Dickies, the "American blue-collar" label popular with kids, is made in Mexico. Dunno about Wranglers, but they are probably made elsewhere too.
Why did I put this in the "Culture War" section? Because fashion and niche marketing is part of culture.
It's time for patriotic white Americans to co-opt a jeans label for themselves, and I nominate USA Works. Ordering from Denim Express, you can't beat the price, plus you dodge the sales tax and get free shipping on orders over $50:*

"At a time when most companies have chosen to manufacture overseas, USA Works has chosen to keep business here at home. These jeans are 100% American made by Americans. An unbeatable quality jean at an unbelievable price."

BTW, before you purchase that next set of Levis....
[url=http://clinton3.nara.gov/Initiatives/OneAmerica/Practices/pp_19980729.6563.html]One America - Project Change[/url]
In 1991, Project Change was created by the Levi Strauss Foundation (LSF) to address racial prejudice and institutional racism in Levi Strauss and Company plant communities. The program initiated in three pilot sites--Albuquerque, El Paso and Valdosta; in 1993, it was expanded into Knoxville. Each site is located in communities where Levi Strauss and Co. has facilities, and each site has a multiracial task force comprised of 12-15 volunteers from a cross section of business, law enforcement, religious, government, neighborhood association and nonprofit and community institutions. Beginning with a one-year planning stage and then moving into a three-year action phase, the task force stimulates locally driven strategies that: change institutional policies, ease tensions between majority and minority groups, promote diversity in the leadership of key community institutions and prevent overt acts of racial and cultural prejudice.

its hard to stand in the way of the rush overseas. "we" are quickly becoming makers, builders (and inventors) of nothing...preferring to pay foriegners to do all the work for us.
