Autumn trousers, as the name implies, are trousers worn in autumn. In fact, they are comfortable and close-fitting pants that are worn under the outer pants to keep warm when the temperature is cold. Generally, when the weather turns cold in autumn, wearing a pair of trousers is not enough to keep warm, so adding a pair of close-fitting trousers inside the trousers is called autumn trousers, and it is also called underpants in some places. Autumn trousers belong to underwear and can't be worn outside. Moreover, the degree of warmth is second only to warm pants, which is a must-have for people to keep out the cold.
Historical origin
The origin of autumn trousers is the North American continent. It is said that the first patent of autumn trousers design was obtained by Canadian Frank stanfield. He and his brother started with cotton underwear which is known as "non-shrinking", and formally applied for the patent of autumn trousers on 19 15 12.7, becoming the father of modern commercial autumn trousers.
At the beginning of the advent of autumn trousers, it was not smooth sailing. At that time, during the First World War, one of the main underwear purchased by various armies was a kind of thing called "combined clothes"-this kind of clothes with all the upper and lower bodies wrapped and the hands, feet and wrists tightly closed was actually equivalent to the combination of autumn clothes and trousers. People who don't know about jumpsuits may be worried about the normal physiological function of users, but this time-tested dress is obviously thoughtful, considerate and reassuring.
After World War I, countries returned to daily production, and European and American countries deepened the industrial revolution according to the idea of assembly line and division of labor. In the past, manual workers with full-body activities were divided into workers with more upper body activities and workers with more lower body activities. Even places where shirts and trousers were not as good as autumn clothes for autumn trousers appeared, and autumn trousers ushered in their own spring.
The United States in the forties and fifties did not have such perfect indoor heating conditions as today. In winter, many people keep warm in the stove. At that time, I not only wore long-sleeved clothes or jumpsuits indoors, but also wore nightcaps when I slept. The frequency of taking a bath is far from the current level of taking a bath every day-the reason is simple, not to mention how to prepare hot water. Freezing your hair after washing it is a big problem. The same was true in China 30 years ago. Every household relied on coal stoves to keep warm and collective bathhouses to take a bath. There were also folk customs such as "No shaving before February 2nd" and "No bathing in the first month".
A saying on the Internet: Before 1960, American farmers could spend the whole winter in jumpsuits without changing clothes. At first, Hu felt incredible, so he simply asked several generations of residents living in the United States. One of them is outspoken about this history, saying that it is obviously an extreme situation not to change "long underwear" all winter, but it is a fact that underwear is not changed often-his grandfather's long pants often give off an unforgettable strong smell. As for southerners, they seldom wear long trousers, but they have all heard of them, which shows that long trousers are famous in the United States.
The United States was still like this in the 1950s, and other countries can imagine it. No wonder Khrushchev questioned the technological level of Nixon's "typical American residence" during the 1959 "Kitchen Debate" between the United States and the Soviet Union. Judging from the historical reference of autumn trousers, the electrical appliances displayed in the United States in that year may indeed be a little ahead of the times.
As time goes by, Europeans and Americans pay more and more attention to the fact that autumn trousers are not so beautiful and fashionable, and with the improvement of heating and living conditions, fewer and fewer people will wear them. Up to now, it has become synonymous with soil, which shows that the concept of autumn trousers has changed a lot.
Internet rumors
The origin of autumn trousers: It is said that autumn trousers are a secret weapon used by the Soviet Union to make China lose the Far East of the Soviet Union forever, which can greatly increase China people's ability to keep out the cold and stop chasing the ground. The inventor told Stalin: "If a country has worn trousers for 60 years, it will never be able to take them off again."
