We've had a thread like this before - I like Mathematics but everyone gets tired of it eventually.

I'm just wondering when we're going to start re-plururing other things like deers, mooses, sheeps, pantses, scissorses and so on...

Except it makes sense because of bastard theater turds. Back in the day they rocked leggings (totally down with the assless and crotchless fashionistas) and in theory you could lose one leg of your pants but still have the other. Some conservative bugger must have got pissed misplacing one legging so he decided to sew them to a belt. He sewed a pair of leggings! Then he accessorized with pockets, chain wallets, bleach stains, hippy patches, and pre drilled holes. Good times.

According to several costume historians who have helped me with this reply, the answer to all this conventional plurality is very simple. Before the days of modern tailoring, such garments, whether underwear or outerwear, were indeed made in two parts, one for each leg. The pieces were put on each leg separately and then wrapped and tied or belted at the waist (just like cowboys’ chaps). The plural usage persisted out of habit even after the garments had become physically one piece. However, a shirt was a single piece of cloth, so it was always singular.
