No pockets, no scissors --- sure makes you glad to be born now, doesn't it? I'm just curious what it'll be like in another 50 or 100 years.

A whole lotta years ago, I got some obsidian blades in Mexico. Just picked them up off the ground, actually. They were also sharp. The long edges were flaked leaving a very sharp edge.

Patch or in-seam pockets were relatively late developments. Prior to that pockets were separate items, like small bags, that fastened to the belt or girdle. There was also a collection of chains or strings called a 'chatelaine' from which items such as scissors could be suspended.
