This question was a general one, having nothing to do with Shabbos speicifically. The bottom line is that jeans are more appropriate for some types of casual activities and work situations, and suit pants are more appropriate for other types of activities and work situations, We should not be negatively judging people altogether, but especially not to judge their frumkeit based on whether or not they choose to wear denim clothing. That is very elitist, IMO. And to imply or state outright that someone who does wear such material somehow needs to do teshuvah or is not worthy to ever be a rov, is beyond absurd. With the cost of jeans way higher than most of the “elegant” things I purchase to wear, it is foolish to think of them as cheap clothing.
