Pants can be what keeps you from freezing to death and going to jail.

This is still dependent on societal consensus. Well, the going-to-jail part, anyway. The protection from cold issue is dependent on the climate and time of year of where you happen to be located. There are many parts of the world where you could comfortably go naked.

Clothes have inherent value by protecting you from exposure.

Spoons have inherent value in conveying food.

Containers have inherent value in holding and protecting resources.

Many material goods have inherent value, currency simply does not.
