Reply to comment by Teknicsrx7 in TIL scientists believe people started wearing clothes between 83k and 170k years ago because that's when clothing lice diverged from head lice. by cwood1973
IIRC the oldest piece of clothing that we’ve found is a sock. Don’t quote me though.
Edit: I was wrong! The sock is 1,700 years old, the oldest item ever found is a linen dress made 5,000 years ago.
