A very good read to get your brain a thinking.

For me, I gained an appreciation for the do it yer selfers around here. We need more of that.

Edit.

A better question...

If society fell, so to speak, how long do you think pants would last? Serious question. All of the complex machinery involved for cotton production and stuff.

Wool can be grown on the hoof, and the source of wool can be eaten. Wool can be milled easily enough. I'd guess that one could make wool pants, but let's face it, wool kilts are so much more practical all things considered, and in some ways, easier to produce. (Well, some types of kilts)

A return to simpler times would mean a return of simpler clothing, right?
