Ironic that for years Levis tolerated the illegal diversion of their product overseas, especially to Asia. This diversion led to massive organized theft in stores in the US. You might remember those street signs "We buy your Levis" which were placed by well known fence operations that would ask no questions. That together with Levis telling decades old accounts like my own that our store now needed to meet their new requirements caused me to most gleefully tell Levis to take a hike before they cut me off and I ended our decades long relationship with the company. I never did look back as selling Levis was always a loss leader.
