@Aqua-Letifer LOL
It sure has a nice stone (age) washed look though!

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.

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

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. -

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.
