I once 'worked the door' on a nightclub where the Manager worded an entrance notice with something similar, and it hurt to have to turn away people who were wearing very clean, smart and very evidently EXPENSIVE jeans and casual wear because after letting some in the manager remonstrated with me explaining that he had meant; " suit trousers and formal shirts and shoes and NOT jeans etc".

He had this theory that men in suits are less liable to start fights and risk their clothes being damaged/soiled, and less likely to 'slit' seats(??) and less likely to 'stick used chewing gum on the seats and tables(???)

By the way, as some 'fashionista' in the 60's once said; Jeans are one item of clothing which INSTANTLY betrays the fact that their wearer does NOT wash them regularly, and it is true; dirty jeans are so noticeable.
