Publisher's Synopsis

From Paleolithic loincloths to Henry VIII's wives wearing underwear on their heads to Mary Walker, a civil war surgeon who was arrested for wearing men's underwear and clothing to better work on patients, this book surveys the vast and fascinating history of our most private clothing. Modeled by chickens, the history of underwear is traced from the very first discovery - a paleolithic nomad whose body was found completely preserved in ice.
