When Did Pants Become a Thing?

ELT unravels the surprising story of pants.   Guests: Artist and clothing researcher Ulrike “Rike” Beck; folklorist and historian Adrienne Mayor; artist and writer Emily Spivack. Thanks to caller “Elle” for the question.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
