3000 year old clothing. Just amazing.

Those aren't 3000 years old! Those belong to my college roommate Eric. He was a surfer dude.

Hopi tribe, Arizona.

Hell, I have older stuff in my closet.

Love the vintage look.

Do not machine wash.

@Aqua-Letifer LOL

It sure has a nice stone (age) washed look though!

[Larry]

Look at the pattern near the top where the light brown meets the dark brown. That is Hopi Indian patterns, in Arizona. Those pants are not 3,000 years old.

[Rainman]

Costco would take them back.

[Klaus]

I have no clue about Indian patterns and the like, but I would have also guessed that those trousers are way younger than 3,000 years.

Doing a search says that the pants shown above were found in a tomb in central asia, and probably worn by nomadic horsemen

@taiwan_girl
Just a guess on my part, but I'd bet they were worn before the washing machine. Imagine how good they would look, if they had Tide back in the day.

@taiwan_girl said in 3000 year old clothing. Just amazing.:

Yes, they seem to be from Western China and are indeed supposed to be 3000 years old. They look pretty sophisticated for 3000 years ago.

To me they look pretty sophisticated for a few hundred years ago. But I know fuck all about the history of textiles.
