True story.... circa 1970. My dad had a retired preacher friend who had never been to the coast, so dad decided to take him and off they went. But as dad tells it, he drew the line when "Brother Embler" was going to walk out the long fishing pier still wearing his tie... so off it came  .
Times and mores change...
I can almost guarantee that some of the older ladies were just as agast over the OP's jeans as he was about the cap.
I think that's the point most are trying to make here....

Are jeans acceptable? Jeans are becoming more and more acceptable in many palces so probably in some places they aare.
Here a t the Jersey shore where I live church is more formal in the winter when it is just us locals. People don't dress the way they used to but still tend to look nice. Slacks, shoes a dress shirt and a sport coat.
Easter is a big thing around here the official kick off to spring/summer, the boardwalk opens every gets dressed to the nines, church than a stroll down the boardwalk. Not as dressed as the Victorians but suits, ties, Easter dresses, ladies don hats.
In the summer all that goes out the window, the vacationers (shoebees) show up shorts, t-shirts, flip flops are the norm. but your hat or cap will be asked to be removed when you enter the church
