Kohl’s said they are strengthening their commitment to the movement and to the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
“We’re strengthening our commitment to the Milwaukee community with a $1 million donation to five nonprofit organizations that serve diverse communities.

They must really hate the other 87% of the population. Hate that money, too.

I will no longer shop at Kohl's. They can kiss my grits!

Mike brought this to my attention this morning since I have been planning to take my grandsons there for some new clothes...not now.

Yep ... used to shop for school clothes there too. @mystery-ak so what brick and mortar stores are open these days? Target -- nope they cater to the transgender and LBQRSTUVWXYZ crowd, Penney's is going out of business -- I haven't shopped at Macy's or Dillard's in almost 10 years ... I don't know if they're even open around here.
We have a store called Beall's --- that's about it around here.

All of our major stores have left...we have Kohls, Target and a high end store called Von Maurers....Funny I got a 30% coupon off for Kohls today in the mail..that's when Mike told me about this.
I may have to go out of town to buy clothes..I would go to Walmart but they won't let you try on clothes... 9999hair out0000

Never did I ever think that we wouldn't have stores to shop at ....that is what this pandemic and BLM crap has done! Purposefully, I might add. I could just scream!! I'm so sick of this crap! 9999hair out0000
We do have a couple of outlet stores next couple of towns over -- I'll have to see if they survived -- limited stock and quantities usually. My sewing skills have much to be desired!

I don't know about that, the ones near me have changing rooms for the women, have no idea about men's never looked.

Never did shop there for much, pretty much only for their brand of cargo shorts I like but the majority of time they have my size in stock, I guess I don't fit the mold of what they think people should look like.

I get my stuff mail-order, from Duluth Trading Company. Great commercials. Extra-long shirttails, and the pants have 11 pockets.

I have several pocket T's. Their button downs are amazing too, I have a few with vented yokes.

Yep... And Buck Naked underpants... And a bunch of their Alaskan Hard Gear. I am trying out their flannel this year. Used to wear heavy flannel from Penny's, their Big Mack line. Haven't had a decent flannel shirt in years and years. So I went to blanket flannels, which are too hot inside. So I amlooking forward to trying them out. I have not been unhappy with a single thing from Duluth... In fact, everything I get there becomes a regular part of my wardrobe.

One more POS company to BOYCOTT for life.
BLM is a terrorist group already responsible for the deaths of a number of police and others.

Best I ever found was 20 years ago when we had an outlet store here for Ducks Unlimited. They would wear for years as work shirts in the yard. Now I wouldn't buy because I require a durn pocket. Wonder if they are still good, I found a "clearance" page at their website.

L.L. Bean has great T-shirts too. I do like their stuff. Lands End has brick and mortar stores now too.

Try em from Duluth you will not be sorry. I tear up a regular wallyworld t-shirt in 60-90 days. I have had all my t's at least 2 years now, some of em 4 or 5, though those are not very presentable anymore. I am fixin to order up another batch, and when I do, those older ones will become shop rags.
They come extra long, made of heavy material, have a reinforced neck, and have a pocket (which I require too), and another thing - I am very wide in the shoulders, and have trouble generally finding shirts (generically 3XLT-4XLT)... These guys have triple-x right in stock.
Yeah, if you work for a living, you need to know about all of Duluth Trading Co. , guaranteed.

But Duluth is cheap too, if you watch their sales.

It's impossible in the age of Covid to buy clothing, anyway. We're not permitted to try anything on. Apparently, the flu spreads via slacks.
I used to be able to find nice pants at Kohl's, but will have to look elsewhere. (And I told them so via Twitter). The JCP I used to frequent will close for good on Sept. 26. I think there's still one Macy's within 50 miles of me, though. That's about it for in-person shopping (and trying on) of clothing. :crying:

Men's clothes are different. Once you hit your size, it never changes if your weight doesn't, so clothes can be mail-ordered and you can be confident they'll fit.

Exactly. Different manufacturers of women's clothing can make the same size vary greatly. There are some brands I don't even bother trying on, because nothing they make - no matter the size - will fit.
It's not fair. I demand reparations.

I have Male Privilege. :tongue2:
Male privilege -- I can vouch for that for my hubby. He hates to shop -- I shop for his underwear, t-shirts, pants, shirts, etc. Now, as for guns, ammo, and tools, those items he'll shop for. Those he deems the necessities in life...
I bought him a work storage unit with workbench that fills up almost an entire wall in the garage ---he's filled it with all kinds of gadgets, tools, stuff he'll never use but has to have ... you know -- the important necessities in life! *****rollingeyes*****

I can answer to that. I HATE shopping in stores/systems in traditionally female venues.
Male oriented venues are FINE. I have been 'shopping' at the same parts stores, lumber yards, sporting goods shops and etc for thirty something years, and you know what? I know where everything is, because it is in the same damn place it was 30 years ago. And the layout between stores seems to follow a pattern...
That ain't the way it is in places designed for the female mind. The whole dang show is amorphous. Always changing.
Kinda like life. Since my divorce, my furniture has been in the same place, and will remain right there, with very little change, until I die. Try that with a woman around.

Walmart does have changing rooms but since Covid they are locked..my grandson asked a sales clerk to unlock them so he could try on some jeans..was told you have to try them on at home and bring them back if they don't fit...it's just nuts!
-
Same with men's clothes. Even if they give a measurement of 36, 32, 38. They are frequently different. I wear 32 waist jeans with no problem. But I have 36 waist jeans that can't even get on. Have 38s that fit snug and other 38s that fit like clown pants.
Same with bedding. Anything I buy for my bed (Queen Size) sheets, pillows, cover, whatever, I always buy King Size. So many Queen Size sheets will not fit on a Queen Size bed. Strange but true. The most common issue is they underestimate the depth. They sort of get the surface area more or less right, but they are short on the depth so it doesn't work.
With clothes, bedding, and most things, I always buy 'too big'. I would rather deal with too much than no enough.
BTW on topic, Kohls management are retarded fools for encouraging the BLM thugs. Think about the next rioting/looting binge. They are going to head straight to Kohls to get their BLM gear. And then burn the place down. Can't imagine the group of mush-head millionaire ultra-Liberal executives who thought this was a 'good idea'.
Hey guys! I've got a Great Idea! Lets encourage all the looter thugs, shoplifters, robbers, and rioters, to come to OUR STORE! You are on to something Chad, that sounds like a marvelous idea. Simply marvelous!

@mystery-ak
You,and everyone else with a Kohls nearby should do your shopping elsewhere,and then stop by the Kohls and ask to see the manager. When you do,show him your receipt,and then tell him that was money that WOULD have been spent in his store if his store hadn't started sucking up to communists that seek to destroy American.

Sooo,why not stop by their store before returning home from your next shopping expedition,and rub it in their face by showing them the receipt from another store and telling THAT store manager why you did your shopping somewhere else?

Okay, sounds like a plan. I’m all in.
As for cutting up the card, that’s a safety move. Getting my wife to stop shopping her favorite brands requires a fail-safe measure.

Oh contraire, I am one that likes my furniture in the same dang place --- the furniture fits exactly in that spot and looks best in that spot and is the most functional in that spot -- so there's absolutely no point in moving it -- except to occasionally dust or vacuum and it goes right back to its spot. So leave the dang furniture where it is!!! Thank you very much.

Brava, my dear! But I fear you are the exception to the rule! And I will GLADLY leave the furniture where it is! Except for coffee tables. I barked my pinky toe on my last one (for the final time) and it cost me 400 bucks... because I physically threw the damn thing out the picture window.
And thereafter the restriction has remained - NO coffee tables - with the exception of one moment of weakness, when a lady friend, certainly well past girlfriend status, requested that I might relent... With suggestions having to do with what could be done on a coffee table that... um... had nothing to do with coffee... And a sure promise of some lengthy demonstrations... A momentary weakness brought it into consideration, I admit. Yet still, I did not relent.
I don't know what it is with women and those evil things. :shrug:
-
I'm chuckling -- I've broken my toe several times on coffee tables, but the biggest disaster was when I took my grandson (4 at the time) to the local nursery to buy a baby palm tree that we could plant together. We picked out the perfect palm tree, put it onto the cart and we went to grab a bag of top soil and coming back I tripped over the cart, came flat down and broke my toe! I hobbled for a good 6 months, it took that big toe forever to heal. My own fault.

HA! I know how that goes! And you can't just stop and lay up for it either. Tight lace up boots and carry on, hoping you can limit thunking that dang thing on something to 50 times a day.
At least I have the limited pleasure of logging boots in such situations... I doubt they'd go with more feminine attire. :beer:

My normal attire is Crocs/flip flops or sandals -- could be why when I break toes they don't heal quickly -- I'm prone to stubbing the same one. I wear tennis shoes to go for walks or tromping through the wooded areas -- it's just too hot to wear anything else. For colder days I have high top tennis shoes. I have dress shoes (funerals and weddings) but since I retired very rarely find the need to wear them.

It is SO weird thinking about how different folks live. Mostly I am in boots. Normally big leather hikers with knee high gaiters - The gaiters are for ticks ( and snow in the winter)... spray em down every now and then with promethrin and no more tick problems. Two pair of sh*tkickers with a full ride heel - One being last year's dress boots, now working boots, and the other being this year's dress boots. I have a preference toward them if I am on the ranch where a vibram sole can be a bit messy.
I have light weight hikers that I use kinda like tennys, and tevas (sandals) for on boats and casual summer... but my mocs are for around camp and comfort, when I ain't barefoot.

Well, I think we both dress simply and for the climate that we live in.

That's not going to do much good -- the information or the complaint will go to someone in customer service and probably not make it much further. The person in customer service is working for minimal wages and needs a job.
Best thing that can be done is to form a protest (peaceful) outside of Kohl's OR perhaps a safer more effective way is to write and/or call Kohl's Corporate offices. They need to hear from all of us, loudly and clearly. I'm hoping that boycotting makes such an impact that they have to start closing stores! Hit their profit margin usually sparks some attention.

Point of order here: Kohl's being left-wing is nothing new. Herb Kohl, one of the owners, was a Democratic senator from Wisconsin all the way up until 2012.

Whether or not they've been left wing is really secondary. The point is that the are selling BLM merchandise. We need to make our voices heard with phone calls, e-mails, letters and boycotting their stores.
