What do you know about…

Civilisation has been around for a fair long time. The Mesopotamians started writing over 5,000 years ago. People who live in the wilderness have a lot of options when it comes to clothing – if it's warm enough, they can dispense with it altogether. In town, however, there tend to be laws against that sort of thing. (Ask a nudist.)

Over the millennia, humans have been fairly inventive when it comes to what we drape over our naughty bits. See if you can identify these items of apparel – and tell where they came from.

Here are the items you can choose from:

• caftan
• dhoti
• pyjama
• tunic
• toga
• kilt
• buckskin shirt
• grass skirt
• kimono
• Lederhose
