What Puts a Rise in Your Levi’s?

Got a question for ya…what puts a rise in your Levi’s? It’s not what you might be thinking… it’s the price of cotton and it will make the prices of your jeans rise.

Here are the facts, the price of cotton has more than doubled in the last 12 months and the price on all your favorite jeans could be going up more than five bucks a pair. That’s the bad news… now for the good news!

Here at the Fort Western Stores we are giving you from now to the end of the month to stock-up and save but at that time we will be forced to increase prices on new inventory that is arriving. But, you can save if you stock-up now, and that will save you a wad of cash, once you stuff that into your jeans pocket, then you will have that rise in your Levi’s… SHOP NOW, SAVE NOW!
