Why do you say this is “off the rails”? I think you’re reaching here. God gave them clothing to cover their shame. Wow. Amazing! God’s grace in action! The original design of God is that we would be naked and unashamed. I don’t see any tacit endorsement of modesty in this scripture. I see God providing for his people with a sacrifice, YES, pointing forward to the sacrifice of Messiah. Otherwise why not just let them stay in their fig leaves? To sum up, I think this is a very weak passage to try to argue modesty from.
