>I think blue jeans are a sin outside of the city or suburbia.
I can see where you're coming from with that point, but I'm just curious if that is a well-sought ideal. Do you mean fancy jeans or all jeans?
I grew up in rural Oklahoma, in a family of ranchers/farmers and rednecks, and work jeans have always done the trick around here. I wear them in the pastures and the wilderness.
