Men's Peasant Clothing

Not everyone in the Middle Ages was royalty. Most people that existed in the Medieval period were peasants. Considered to be the lowest class of the medieval society, the peasants were the poorest people of the medieval period. But that does not mean their roles were not important. As peasants made up some 85 percent of medieval people in feudal societies, their livelihoods and character types were quite diverse. Peasant families lived primarily in the countryside or small villages where they worked the land for food and other resources. Given the nature of their livelihood and social standing, medieval clothing for peasants were modest and unembellished. Early medieval clothing was typically made from coarse wool and hemp cloth. They wore stockings or tunics. sheepskin cloaks and woolen hats. Their boots were made of leather with wooden soles.
