"I am more appreciative of whoever invented pants ."

Pants were invented by the people who domesticated the horse. Straddling a horse is pretty tough without pants. The people in the article below probably domesticated the horse:

The Curse Of The Red-Headed Mummy

The oldest pair of pants ever found was being worn by these folks.

But the man who popularized pants for the modern man is Beau Brummell, the English socialite who caused a sensation by rejected breeches in favor of pants.
