Ever look around and realize how many people wear blue jeans every day ??

Be willing to bet everyone on this board includes "jeans" as part of their riding attire.

Yep, got a closet full of denim stuff. Come to think of it, I can't remember ever riding in anything but jeans.

Is it safe to say that Levi jeans are still "Made in USA" ??

"waist overalls" (the old name for jeans)

May be guess again, they are made overseas.

I caught an episode of Pawn Stars where a guy was selling a Levi jean jacket from the 1930s.
!
Part of the trivia includes the fact that the highest price paid for Levi Jeans was $46,532.  Shocked

I can't say that none of their production is here, but I don't remember seeing them listed as still manufacturing here in my recent searches. 

The last two pairs of Levis I bought were (as I learned later) made in Egypt.   ???

The last jeans I bought were: 1 pair of Wrangler Relaxed Fit, 2 pairs of Wrangler Painter's Jeans, and 2 pairs of Wrangler's generic Legendary Gold or something (blank rear pocket), all for $88-89.00 at Target.  Hard to beat that.
