What are some middle ages clothing?
Woolen clothing with undergarments made of linen. Usually it was cut in the Roman style and the nobles wore brighter colors and better materials. Peasant clothing were sleevless tunics and wimples for women. Sheepskin cloaks and woolen hats with mittens. Leather boots were covered with wooden patens to keep the feet dry. Outer clothing was almost never washed, but linen underwear was washed. The smell of wood smoke was on everything and seemed to act as a deodorant. Peasant women spun wool into threads that were woven into cloth for the garments.
