The reach across class and country boundaries is unreal. Liberian robbers wear jeans. And so does Prince Harry. In fact, it is hard to imagine a world without jeans.
But such a world did exist. One of the best-known rulers in the pre-jeans era was Henry the Eighth. So, it saddens me to today stumble across these understated denim beauties. I am sad because I can't help but think how much Henry would have loved these. They'd have ticked all his big boxes:
*roomy crotch (for his massive package)
*easy to let out after a big banquet
*ideal for horseback wear
.. Henry also wore nappies
