The oldest pair of pants found so far are over 3,000 years old. Found in the Turfan region of China.


What is especially interesting is that these pants are made of four completely different weaves depending on if flexibility was important or support, or protection. What is even more interesting is that these pants are made of one piece of cloth with transitions between the weave instead of separate pieces sewn together.
