People,for centuries,if not millenia,had "SUNDAY CLOTHES"/ Sabbath (for Jews),which were their best clothes.They wore these clothes NOT to impress others,but to show respect to GOD and to the worship of HIM. It was reverential! This never meant that the clothes had to be expensive;however,it did mean that they weren't "work clothes",which really are what jeans are; even those that cost hundreds of dollars.

It used to be common knowledge that people behaved differently, depending upon what they wore. There were school clothes, play clothes, and dress-up/party/church clothes for children and comparable ones for adults. And this was a time,when people did NOT own ,many clothes (even those in the upper middle class and above !); unlike today.

My best clothes are those that last the longest. They are stiched securely and made of fabric that doesn't tear easily. In terms of pants, this means jeans. I've never, ever had a pair of dress pants that would stay in good condition as long as a pair of jeans, assuming equal duration of wear.
