This article contains a translation of Costume du monde antique from fr.wikipedia. |
Someone suggested changing the title to include more than clothing, elsewhere there's "apparel". On second thoughts, in English "costume" can cover a lot of things thought it looks like a direct untranslation, it does fit. Personally I found this article by using the key word "clothing".

Why don't we just take out the Ancient China Clothing and others on the bottom. They just waste space since there is nothing under it. Gunnerdevil4 01:53, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I like Clothing in the ancient world, but would also support Dress in the ancient world; similar articles now are Byzantine dress and Early medieval European dress. - PKM ( talk) 23:58, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
I deleted something in the china section that said "most just run around naked"
Here is a more appropriate title for this entry, or the contents of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marvellousmartha ( talk • contribs) 08:55, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
this article is okay. although i think the clothing is a little short. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.202.85.46 ( talk) 23:15, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
There are several statements in the Ancient Egyptian section that seem rather dubious to me.
With apologies to those who have worked on it in good faith, I think I would have to say at this point that this whole section is so riddled with myths, conjecture and outright propaganda that the whole section should be marked dubious, and re-written with proper cites. -- 202.63.39.58 ( talk) 01:25, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
They wrote a religiously motivated myth about garments made of linen and wool not being allowed in the temples in Egypt. The children of Israel lived in Egypt, and because a garment made of both flax fibers and wool fibers would tear revealing your nakedness, garments made of mingled linen and wool were forbid to be worn anywhere by the Law of Moses, and genetically modified foods were forbidden also.
"You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle gender with a diverse kind, you shall not sow your field with mingled seed, neither shall a garment mingled of linen and wool come upon you."

The entire ancient world consists of Egypt, Greek, and Rome? Come on people! Way more breadth needed, this is not even scratching the surface. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.15.166.46 ( talk) 08:45, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
The inclusion of this article in the "Prehistoric technology" topic betrays a lack of understanding of what the words "prehistory" and "history" mean. Per Prehistory, Prehistory (meaning "before we had written records," from the Latin word for "before," præ) is the span of time before recorded history or the invention of writing systems. Prehistoric technology and the outline of prehistoric technology should give some better idea of what prehistoric technology actually is, and note this section.

A new editor has inserted a MASSIVE load of text on Indian clothing in this article, a lot of which is completely unreferenced. It looks like it is copied from somewhere else, possibly even someone's personal essay or research paper. I've deleted everything that isn't "ancient" (basically everything that is not BCE/BC - this belongs in a separate article) as this is basically a whole new article ( History of Indian clothing) in its own right (but MUST be referenced/sourced properly), and am going through the section making some outstanding basic copy edits/style tweaks. Mabalu ( talk) 11:34, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
The new article ( History of Indian clothing), has been created by coping the entire section Ancient Indian clothing of article ( Clothing in the ancient world) section of this article. It has been created after the creation this article. So Ancient Indian clothing section of this article is the firstly created article and the article ( History of Indian clothing) has been created subsequently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhargav.b.chauhan ( talk • contribs) 12:43, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
