Now you are back to these men probably getting pants in Babylon. You see, why I say you cannot keep a coherent thought? At one time you are dogmatic that the only way they got them was through their Babylonian assimilation making them transgressors (that is how your previous posts appeared to me). Now you are back to "probably".
What you fail to understand is that it does not matter where the pants came from. God's precepts are not limited to a geographical area. They are limitless in time and space just as He is. They do not lose their force on the moon and they do not loose their force in Babylon. He is immutable; therefore, His precepts are immutable.
Likewise it does not matter what the average mode of dress was or how popular certain fashions were or were not. What does matter is what God thinks about them. I am certain He does not care about the popularity of an item nor is He willing to take a vote.
The entire argument is meaningless.
The Biblical evidence reveals that godly men wore pants. Godly women did not.
