    Thank you for that. A thread of truth runs through it though.

    Lol.
    Oh, pants were around for a long time before that, but were treated the way a**less chaps are treated now. Poetry written in Ancient Greece suggests that pants were ridiculed and viewed with contempt by the Greeks. You know, the guys who went around dressed in togas.

    Even the Romans saw pants as barbaric. But then Henry VIII came along.
