Blue jeans? The EU imports blue jeans from the US?

[FarCenter]

One of the hypothesized retaliations by the EU against US tariffs on steel and aluminum is EU tariffs against blue jeans.

As far as I know, blue jeans come from China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc.

If the EU is importing blue jeans from the US, they are doing it wrong.

1. If the US is making blue jeans

Let me know where I can buy them. I've looked and found limited options in limited sizes. Frustrating.

2. Yes, I am interested in this. The bourbon is a direct hit on McConnell and the Harley's on Ryan

but I don't know who/what is the target for blue jeans.

3. Levi Strauss & Co is headquartered in Pelosi's district

But their production in the US is very limited.

6. Yes I know but what I have read has been a direct targetting of Repub interests and the blue

jeans idea doesn't line up with that.

4. Made in the USA is a brand made by Levi. Expensive brand imo over 150 I think

Maybe sub specialty brands like that?

5. The true cost of Made in the USA Levis? $178

From the story -- there appear to be some less expensive "made in USA" jeans
https://www.gusset.com/

Looks like they sell direct to consumer and bypass the expensive retailing industry.

9. I just went on Texas Jeans website and ordered a pair for my son.

$39.99 including shipping.

7. Some high-end Levis are made here.

The really nice ones you see on the Brooklyn hipster crowd.

10. Some made in N.C. (Trumpland). EU is targeting Trump supporters.

For the large majority of their jeans, Levi’s are not made in the USA. More than 99% of their jeans are made in countries like China, Japan, Italy, and others.

Levi’s does have a single collection of “Made in the USA” 501 jeans, sourced from a small denim mill called “White Oak” in Greensboro, NC.

If you want to get those Made in the USA Levi’s, it will definitely cost you. The price tag on the standard 501 jeans is typically seen at $178.
