If this is true, I'm excited to see the modesty standards change over night.

RIGHHHT??? And makes me think if this really happened suddenly school dress codes in Utah will change. School dress codes honestly seem like trying to impose garment level modesty on kids and teens. I hate it.

I don't know. This could just be a new line of garments they will say are appropriate for working out. It's the churches way to combat the athli-leisure trends. To many TBMs are taking off their gs to hit the gym and then staying in their workout clothes and the church doesn't like that. So here comes the new athletic line of garms. It will add a whole new layer of self righteous judgment for the uber TBMs. They can give and extra judgey condescending look when they see a TBM in workout clothes that aren't garment friendly.

Of course with new workout garments, we will need new workout clothes. I'm sure some ambitious 70 is starting an MLM for workout clothes that compliment the new workout garments. He will give his new clothing line a subtle plug during this up coming general conference, where he will urge the faithful sisters of the one true church to host parties and harass their friends in the name of modesty.

We had the rumors a couple of years ago that the civil marriage penalty was going to be removed around 2014-2015. Nothing came of that, of course, so I remain skeptical. It does sound amusing to imagine all the stalwart men of my ward wearing wife beaters under their shirts. This still does not make any sense wearing a garment top under T-shirts, of course.

Interesting.

As others noted on the reddit thread, the tag seems slightly different. Also, it's two different fabrics. The side/underarm is a more a mesh while the front and back are solid.

IF it's real (big if) then it appears to big geared toward athletic apparel. I'd wager it's not due to the church finally giving 2 hoots about the complaints of mommy mormon bloggers, but the result of millions of tithing dollars being spent to determine why BYU Athletics is failing and this the best solution they could come up with.

Did you see that asskicking by LSU?

Oh, I hope this is true! In looking at the picture I bet they would still show under most tank tops though, but it is a step in the right direction.

^ I think that is possible, but if it is meant for athletic wear only - I guarantee even TBM's will sport them while not exercising... there is no way they could regulate their use. In producing tank tops garments, they would be opening themselves up for that and they have got to realize it.

This almost happened in the 1920's according to that old scribdb history of the garment document that unfortunately no longer exists and I regret terribly not saving. Regime change stopped the temple committee from persuing the change.

Maybe it's the new yard work and landscape addition?

I hate garments. To be fair, not just mormon polygamy under panties but all religious clothing. The idea just stinks of self righteous hoity-toity "look at me, I believe in a super special sky daddy whose better than your sky daddy! I'm so special he gives me underwear, robes, hoodies, burkas, suites and hats, and all other forms of super duper stupid clothing that identify me as superior to you! Look, I wear special under panties that God has commanded me to wear to return to live with him someday! I'm so righteous I wear them all the time. I can see you don't wear them all the time so you must be unworthy. Did I mention I wear them all the time because I'm worthy! I'm committed. I'm righteous. I go to the temple once a week. I sleep in my garments. I sex in my garments. I do yoga and go to the gym in my garments. My garments hang out of my high waistband pants by 7 inches so that everyone can see I wear garments and am sooooo righteous. I just love how self righteous I feel in my garments. They make me feel so self righteous which is awesome because I'm so better than you! What a tender mercy it is to be so self righteous wrapped in these knee length under panties and shoulder covering inner commitments.

What planet do we live on where we hope for a religious organization to release a new cut of its special underwear that reduces the cap sleeve by 2 inches?

This is like waiting in line speculating if the Back Street Boys are going to kick off a reunion tour.

It ain't gonna happen.

Leave it to a quorum of Octogenarians to combat yoga pants and athletic wear by providing "ready for war against satan combat ready" spiritual under panties. They'll save your ass from temptation but only of they don't touch the floor!

Kinda like a new cell phone model each. We made miniscule changes, now it's revolutionary!
Only thing is a cell phone is every year. Religious updates are decades.

If they change to a sleveless garment, I hope it's before TSM dies so they can say he actually had some revelation. This will rival his revelation/policy to lower the missionary age by 1 year. #modernprophetblessings.

The stories I've heard are that these kinds of changes of get brought up frequently in the q15 committee that is in charge of these changes. But that it takes unanimous vote for the changes to go through. So you're largely waiting for the elderly people to die off and the more modern ideas to come into the group.

Maybe they'll get down to just having a knee strap and a necklace or some tattoos eventually.

It's a good thing. I was about to get the markings tattooed on my body so i wouldn't need to worry about wearing garments. This will save me the trouble.
I have some ideas for even smaller garments I will have to share later.

If you are going that far, then maybe just get the marks tatooed on you breasts, navel, right knee so you can walk around naked. You could technically have some authorized porn with the authorized pattern.

The only change that would honestly interest me would make garments optional except for temple and church. That would at least make them match my actual garment policy at this point.

So maybe the church is coming out with new lines of garments for different activities.
As Mopag indicated, this could be from the sports wear line. It would replace the sports bra for women.
Other lines could include:
Tough work wear garments: made in conjunction with Carhart.
Swimming garments
Fishing garments
Formal wear garments for the strapless dress
Sex wear garments: so you won't even have to remove them for sex
Summer wear garments
Shopping garments
Sleeping garments
Church activity garments

So Mrs. Hagoth and I were doing yardwork all day Saturday. I was sweating my liahonas off all day, only to discover that I was the only one wearing garments. Sometimes I wonder why I even try. To the moon, Alice!

They're trying to get all us doubters to pay tithing and renew our recommends so we can buy these things. The counseling the young women to take up the non cost-effective hobby of sewing to make modest clothes backfired. Now all the younguns are making cosplay costumes. If this is true, it'll be nice to have an actual selection of clothes from the store.

P. S. I don't think they're real. Garments have surged edges.

They could all have different necklines so it would be easy to tell if the person is wearing the right kind of garms for the specified activity. Then we would get people bearing their testimony about changing their underwear and how blessed they were for obediently wearing the correct underwear for the correct activity. :lol:

Brilliant!

The terrestrial cut: for sports, yard work, etc.
The telestial cut: for everything in between.
The celestial cut: for Sunday leisure, temple worship, and god ordained marital intimacy!
