In the 1980's, jean jackets were invited into ApoPento world....holes, tears, and buttons on these jackets were optional but appreciated....It was stylish with the times but yet completely modest for our girls....The problem was, no one has bothered to kick the Jean jackets out the back door after they overstayed their welcome....
In fact something funny happened in the Apo world with jean jackets in the late 80's/early 90's, the people who cared less about trends and being stylish started to adopt the jean jackets as their own, away from the the trendsetters.... Apparentely they are quite warm...
So whenever a fashion trend finds itself somewhere in between being considered stylish, and being considered very functional this only means one thing:
It's bound to be sold at Wal-mart! Which of course means that we will never see jean jackets leave our Apostolic denomination.....
Which means at some points Apostolic will be considered fashionable when the jean jackets do make their run at being in style, and at other times Apostolics will be wearing clothing that is considered 5 years expired.
Jean Jackets are here to stay, and whether the ladies got their jean jacket from wal-mart, forever 21, express, the Fashion Bug, or Lane Bryant, every Apostolic female has at least two and they wear them on several/many occasions: Mid-week services (what says informal attire better than jeans as a coat?) or fall youth functions or summer youth group or whenever they can't figure out something better to wear (which makes jean jackets the informal equivalent to leopard skin print for formal attire)....
