LDS Garments: Why I Want Out of This Club

[mUUser]

Appears the under armour option isn't available any longer. Am I wrong?

[mUUser]

In response to my own question, I found out last week:

1. The UA option is alive and well, and

2. The new "cami" option for women is on the verge of being acceptable. If a "short" option for the bottoms were available (say, knock 3 or 4 inches off the length), they could almost pass for an unusually long boy-short look. Regardless, they have a more modern sporty look to it, and hug the female body quite nicely. Also, if she gets the tall-top option, it gives the ladies a deeper scoop along the chest line.

Progress in baby steps ... but it's definately progress.

What does this mean?

What does this mean?

The material is "stretchy" and body hugging like a camisole. Something inbetween cotton & under armour I suppose.

By "on the verge of being acceptable" did you simply mean acceptable to you?

They had quality problems early on with the UA type g's. I split the seems on several pair. I've heard they fixed the problem. I'm hoping they will start making loose fit UA tops in the future.

Do you know the official material name? Trying to find in the online store.

I can't believe more Mormons aren't raising heck about the Church's monopoly on garment production. Lack of competition is killing innovation in the garment industry.

[Shaka]

I believe they are called, "Extra Support".

The early saints used to take pride in fabricating their own garments. I doubt that wearing home-made garments would be verboten, though I'd bet the church would frown on selling garments to others. They aren't a 'kosher' in the sense that someone needs to pray over them, or 'set them apart' for their special service. If folks don't like the current garment options, they should just make their own. Sexy those things up. Women's garments, as fabricated by the church, are really hideous.

Yes, it is verboten.

[RobinFinderson]

Yes, it is verboten.

When did it become verboten? Making one's own used to be the only way to have them.

[RobinFinderson]

Yes, it is verboten.

According to wikipedia, any military regulation t-shirt of any color can be sent to beehive manufacturing to have the symbols sewn into it. What can we infer from this, as well as the fact that members fabricated their own garments for many years, about what constitutes the garment?

doesn't one have to provide proof of active duty status to be able to do so?

[Jacob]

All I'm saying is that it is verboten according to the official handbook. Certain exceptions apply to active military personnel. Infer what you want.

As for me. I wear some of the military versions, though I'm not military and I intend to fabricate my own in the future.
