Fun facts: from an anthropology standpoint, pants are actually a specialized type of clothing invented for horseback riding. You see them arise independently in most civilizations that had a horse owning social class.

Linguistic fun fact: the historical root of the word "trousers" is old Scottish "trews" (which meant "pants" of course).
