1323 BCE: Egypt’s King Tut is entombed alongside a wealth of jewelry, furniture, lamps, jars – and 145 loincloths. He’s also entombed with over 400 statues of servants meant to clean said undies, just in case heaven doesn’t have washing machines. 634 CE: The loincloth began to fall out of fashion in Europe. It’s replaced by looser-fitting braies, which are basically cloth hose for men.
