When I was in Bethel in the mid 1970's I used to wear jeans. It was allowed,,but then Grant Suiter(GB) gave a few mourning speaches durring breakfast about the evils of wearing jeans,, also the evils of flushing the toliet after you pissed in it and wasting all that water,,which cost the WT money.
After a few of his(Grant's) speaches it then became law,, no one was to wear jeans at bethel either for work cloths or casual. Grant tried to sell the idea that jeans were something only (or mostly) homosexual men wore and since homo's set the fashion trend of wearing jeans and wearing jeans may mean your homosexual,,(a kind of twisted logic), on that basis he mixed up the wearing of jeans with homosexuality.
BTW I still wore jeans at bethel because I was broke, and still had a few pair that were new and comfortable. Even with the ban in Bethel no one ever stopped me when I was wearing them,, to tell me I couldn't wear them,, they would hint and say, "you know you shouldn't be wearing these at bethel".
