Well said Mr. Newsome.

On the other hand, what is the definition of "jeans"? Is any garment which is made of denim (denim skirts?) also called jeans? Are jeans only made of denim?

Jeans are generally made from denim. One could have a jean skirt the same as one could have a kilted skirt. The former are not jeans, the latter not a kilt. A kilt made of denim is not jeans and according to the article would not be a kilt. Could we call them keans or a jilt? Yes, but people would look at us strange. Can you tell that now I'm just gibbering?
