Garments used to be one piece, further back to be worn 24/7/365, Even while bathing!

I’m sure there are numerous other examples too!

Nephi whacking a drunk guy for God. The voice in his head told him a nation yet to be founded would need the brass plates. Chad Daybell was nowhere to be found, so Nephi had to do it himself.
