I’m not sure about the chukas hagoy issue, but I heard a shiur once and the person speaking said that denim was a very strong material made and used predominantly by laborers, like people in construction, masonry, etc. Thus, the material and the things made from it became defined as working-labor class material, which, depending on the person wearing them, can be beneath their stature. Kings and princes have not in previous generations gone around wearing these types of clothes (times have changed everywhere).
