Aha; that may well be the answer. I read this:
Previously, Europeans and Asians wore gowns, robes, tunics, togas or — as observed on the 5,300-year-old body of Ötzi the Iceman — a three-piece combination of loincloth and individual leggings. ... and immediately thought of the Eastern US woodland Indians (and the Scots Irish who copied them) who (so I read) wore something very similar: 2 individual, separate leg coverings and a loincloth. So 1 pantalon + 1 pantalon = 1 pr pants. Makes sense.
