The miners' clothing depended on their ethnic group. Standard clothing for many of European ethnicity was just loose-fitting trousers and shirt, with strong boots. The Chinese wore the clothing of their culture. Many times, miners' clothing may have become quite threadbare: they could not afford new clothing because tailors and/or other suppliers of clothing would chage over-inflated prices, knowing that the rules of supply and demand would dictate how much they could charge. Miners did not want to leave the prospect of "striking it rich" to take a coach all the way to Sydney or melbourne, so suppliers of goods on the goldfields had a monopoly.
