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.

  It was William Caxton about 600 years ago who owned it.

  Everything I found just now talks about how great a historical figure he was.

  But if you dig deeper you should be able to find reference to the Dutch workers he brought with the press who knew how to use it and actually set the type on the presses.

  I don’t have the time at the moment, but if you’re interested then that’s enough to start researching
