Muslim jeans for worshippers cause a stir
Designed by an Italian company and named after the Arabic term for Jerusalem, Al Quds Jeans are baggy with a high waist to allow freedom of movement during the repeated kneeling for Islamic worship.
They have extra large pockets for glasses, trinkets and prayer beads and also feature discreet green seams at the top of the belt loops, in honour of the faiths sacred colour. The idea behind the jeans is not political, ideological or religious at all. It is a cultural act, said Susanna Cavalli, chief of product development for Al Quds Jeans.
