Show Earliest Known Trousers. Tho head of the ancient Ilahylonlnn was carefully protected from the sun by various wrappings; 't waa suf-ticlcnt suf-ticlcnt for tho rest of tho body to wear a thin woolen or linen garment bound at tho hips with a girdle or shawl, over which sometimes another garment gar-ment was picturesquely draped. In I Ilabylonln, nnd Assyria also, head and foot coverings were subject to faBhlon, but tho long, closo-IIttlng garment fortunately for-tunately never went out of style. Trousers tho unnesthotlcal 'Invention of tho Modes are first found on tho Parthian stelo of about tho first century, cen-tury, 11. C, which was excavated In Assyrln. |
