I agree with your aims.....but at Walmart one can by a pair of new blue jeans for about $10 bucks (ten years ago you could anyway).....with such hard times and low wages that are a fact of life today it would be hard to get that shopper back to Levis at say $40.

When I was a kid my mom would take me to Sears and buy new Levi's for like $30 at the mall....maybe three pairs for the school year. That was a not an insubstantial sum back then in the 70s.

things are different now.
