Right, LOL! Does it get as cold in Israel as it does in Poland or Russia? LOL! Thanks for the info and the lengthy post on China! Here's my deal on the China thing. I ran across an article stating that only male soldiers wore trousers in Ancient China. So, I'll have to look at your link and go from there. Thanks again! And again, I am interested in the transition, as part of history, it has nothing to do with standards.

The further back one goes, the more transitions one will find. Fashion comes and goes. The needs of people changes as they move around. And, the social conventions of the past may seem stifling to some so they cast them off, only to see a later generation pick them up again.
