[1200x675]Jeans archeologyJarcheology@softbutchtaako jartifactas an archaeologist-in-training, i am BEGGING you to stopSomeone griped at me once for placing a character 80 years in our future in jeans and a t-shirt and I’m like… this has literally been a thing for longer than I’ve been alive, longer than my parents have been alive, longer than my grandparents lived. Why would I assume they would be in anything else?yeah i will admit, it’s crazy to look at those jeans, because they look like someone could’ve literally just bought them. The basic design hasn’t changed, nothing, it’s just jeans. Basically we have every reason to believe jeans and t-shirts will still exist and probably be average everyday wear in 80 years because at this point EVERY EVIDENCE POINTS TO YES.The only evidence of them being comparatively old is the presence of suspender knobs on the waistband. That’s the only thing that’s really changedIt appears to have buttons instead of a zipper, which while not common, is something you can still find today. I have a pair of shorts that have buttons.Maybe tshirts won’t be the popular shirt of the future, but I have every confidence that jeans will still be the go to pants long after I die.I have literally zero qualifications in anything, but I’ll say with confidence that tshirts will be around for the rest of eternity. They’re the simplest possible form of upper body wear. Holes for arms? check. Holes for head? check. Covers torso? check. There’s nothing else to them and you can slap a design or logo or cartoon character or whatever on the front. If you get cold you can put something over them. If you get hot, put on a singlet aka armless tshirt. Tshirts will be around forever.Those jeans also have an adjustable buckle tab in the back, and no belt loops.But other than that? Yeah, almost identical to modern jeans. -- source link
