A feature of all modern human societies is the wearing of clothing, a category encompassing a wide variety of materials that cover the body. The primary purpose of clothing is functional, as a protection from the elements. Clothes also enhance safety during hazardous activities such as hiking and cooking, by providing a barrier between the skin and the environment. Further, clothes provide a hygienic barrier, keeping toxins away from the body and limiting the transmission of germs. Clothing performs important social and cultural functions. A uniform, for example, may identify civil authority figures, such as police and army personnel, or it may identify team, group or political affiliations. In many societies, norms about clothing reflect standards of modesty, religion, gender, and social status. Clothing may also function as a form of adornment and an expression of personal taste or style. Throughout history, many materials have been used for clothes. Materials have ranged from leather and furs, to weaved and woven materials, to elaborate and exotic natural and synthetic fabrics. Recent scientific research estimates that humans have been wearing clothing for as long as 650,000 years. Others claim that clothing probably did not originate until the Neolithic Age (the "New Stone Age"). Articles carried rather than worn (such as purses), worn on a single part of the body and easily removed (scarves), worn purely for adornment (jewellery), or those that serve a function other than protection (eyeglasses), are normally considered accessories rather than clothing.

Such as amounts you might acquire from sitting down on an arsenic contaminated deck or porch. Will simply running the clothing through a washer and dryer successfully remove all of the arsenic, or will that just distribute it to everything else in the washer?

Put him in a nice dark colored suit, 3 piece if you can get it...(black, probably), tie, nice shoes, and a sash in a royal color-- purple, royal blue, red -- with a brooch/medallion on it. And some sort of crown should do you just fine. Answered by lc_kuhl - Sun May 25 22:51:30 2008 What clothing article for miners became an american icon in the mid-1800s? Who invented them?

Levi Strauss invented his famous indigo-dyed, copper-riveted serge de Nimes in 1873 for miners. He named them 501 waist-high overalls. 501 stays the trademark to this day.
