Comment on We refer to jeans as "a pair of jeans", but the only thing that there are two of is the legs, it's still only one item of clothing.

Apologies if this was perceived as a rant … I’m genuinely interested in discovering why we refer to a pair of jeans.

As for glasses. In the time of monocles that might have made sense, but I’ve never seen anyone wear two of them.
