The fabrics vary in color?

Like coats of many colors?

If they have gotten back 3000 years to King David, it's just a few hundred more back to Joseph. (Did Jacob take Joseph's coat with him to Egypt or leave it behind in the land of Canaan?)

[Did Jacob take Joseph’s coat with him to Egypt or leave it behind in the land of Canaan?]

It was destroyed.

After his brothers sold JOSEPH into slavery, they decided deceive their father. They killed one of the goats, and dipped Joseph’s coat in its blood; (and probably tore the coat) and they brought it to their father, and they said to him: “We found this coat out in the wilderness. Look at it, father, and tell us if you think it was the coat of your son.”

And Jacob knew it at once. He said: “It is my son’s coat. Some wild beast has eaten him. There is no doubt that Joseph has been torn in pieces!”

I recall an article from years ago finding a tomb in Egypt for some fairly powerful person. They found part of a large statue showing a guy with with colorful garb. And this in the land of Goshen, where the Hebrews lived while in Egypt. The bones, along with everything else was gone. Grave robbers usually don’t worry about the bones. But the Hebrews DID grab Joeseph’s bones to bring to the Holy Land.

here’s a fairly long article similar to what I recall:
