Cool! I think I just found my new preaching uniform. I can't wait to unveil it this Sunday.

Your problem, Jax, is you are not properly ignoring certain scriptures!

Any thoughts on it only mentions men wearing breeches?

Isaiah 32
11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.

Speaking of breeches or britches as I've also heard them called.

After Adam and Eve's sin, Genesis 3:7 in the Geneva Bible reads: "Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig tree leaves together, and made themselves breeches."

Then in verse 21 says: "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them."

There is a marginal note for verse 7 which says, "Hebrew, things to gird about them to hide their privities."

Then there is a marginal note (I assume this is an alternate reading) for verse 21 which says, "Or, gave them knowledge to make themselves coats."

some thoughts:
--does this mean britches are wrong for both men and women but coats are OK?

--when it says, "unto Adam also and to his wife" does that mean some of their children were present and needed clothing?

I was thinking that earlier. If we're going to look to the Bible for specific directives on clothing, it seems that we can find a basis to teach against men wearing pants, too, not just women.

The Biblical clothing standard was robes. Even when men tucked their robes up, it was only temporary.

Are you saying girding loins is the same as breeches?
