ODD: Did you know that King Tut was entombed with 145 pairs of undergarments?

National Geographic has a history of underwear that is quite … uplifting?

The earliest form of undergarment was the loincloth, which, by the time of Tutankhamun was fashioned to resemble what we would think of as a kilt — triangular swatches of linen with strings at the ends, called schenti.

It was 145 schenti that were entombed with the boy king, “a large collection of loincloths to take with him to the underworld,” the National Geographic story noted.

Now and then through history, nudity was in fashion, but undergarments continued to develop from simple covers to become more protective, with codpieces coming into fashion.

The story goes on to note that fabric undergarments were needed, and pantaloons “emerged as a practical part of any outfit for men and women because they kept outer wear clean by absorbing dirt and sweat.”

Union suits came next before more modern undergarments, like boxer shorts, came to market.

“Underwear became a fashion item in the 1950s and 1960s as they went from traditional white to an array of colors and patterns and the development of fabrics like rayon and Dacron made new styles possible for men and women,” the story read.

Then underwear was mainstream. “By the 1980s and 1990s, the world was debating the critical question: Boxers or briefs? Boxers had grown increasingly popular after World War II, as men who served in the military adjusted to the standard-issue boxer shorts.”

Soon a new option arose — boxer briefs.

The story concludes with this: “Innovation in underwear has waned since then — but you can be sure that when a new product does debut, the public will likely see it on full display.”
