In 1969 a writer for American Fabrics magazine declared, “Denim is one of the world’s oldest fabrics, yet it remains eternally young.” If continuous use of and interest in an item makes it “eternally young” then denim certainly qualifies. From the 17th century to the present, denim has been woven, used and discarded; made into upholstery, pants and awnings; found in museums, attics, antique stores and archaeological digs; worn as the fabric of hard honest work, and as the expression of angry rebellion; used for the sails of Columbus’ ships in legend; and worn by American cowboys in fact.
As stated above, denim is the fabric of 'hard honest work'. What work is harder and more honest than that of teachers? Let us wear denim!!!

I've never worked at an institution that did not allow jeans. To be allowed to reunite with them once more would be glorious!!!:) Just no low rise I'd say. No one wants to see all that!:):):)

What is more American than the jean, from Wrangler, to Jordache, to Seven, for all man kind?
So understand I'm not petitioning for jeans, I'm petition for Americanism.

I believe in honoring what is requested of us to dress professionally, but it would be such a simple blessing.
Yay to jeans!
