Some things have been re-invented many times. Trousers were worn in Persia 2,000 years ago, for example.

@mister-moggy saidthis is MY domain,
if cultural appropriation is not appropriate then why
are non-europeans allowed to wear suits, ties, white shirts and dress shoes.

@wolfgang59
levis were invented by a men named straus and levi who took sail cloth from the old ships and made pants in the 1870's they put rivets on them to make them stronger.
so denim and the french ?
@mister-moggy saidWell,, ok, ok, but gay men wear silky pantaloons 🙂
@rookie54

Denim is from France.
Originally serge de Nîmes.
The etymology for "jeans" is thought to be from Genoa which
also produced a similar cloth called bleu de Genes.
The word "jeans" was in use a hundred years before Levi Strauss.
@mister-moggy saidI suppose it depends on wether the cultural icon being appropriated is being done so with respect and recognition as well as a timeliness which is in accordance with the owning culture’s sense of national and cultural identity.

On the other hand good ideas and nifty fashions spread, live with it and don’t be so precious.

Cultural appropriation is inevitable.

@moonbus saidYes; but so were sarongs. And yet it's evil for me to wear one, but not evil for an Indonesian to wear trowse.
