Reply To: Jeans

sjs: i never said your friend is in the wrong. but i think most people would think something negative if they saw a choshuv talmid chochom wearing jeans. i never said these people are right for thinking that way but fact is they do. if your friend doesnt care what people think of him so be it. but a bachur who never wears jeans but doesnt see anything wrong with them might still not wear them because people might categorize him

gavra: and in monsey, lakewood, baltimore etc people arent worried about shidduchim? a lakewood guy learning in bmg will dress like a yeshiva bachur in public and if he doesnt people will talk and it may affect his shidduchim
