I hope I am not hearing snobbery among the commenters here. Blue jeans – I prefer the term “dungarees” – are necessary or advisable for anyone who does manual labor – carpenters, electricians, masons, roofers, construction laborers, warehousemen, among others. Not all frummers are white-collar workers. Flannel and worsted have no place at a construction site or in a warehouse, and Yidden who work in those trades and jobs are as frum as any of us.
