he had camel skin clothing with a leather belt.
It's true he had a camels skin, but there's a lot more to it! It was a very fine leather garment and most likely passed down from Elijah & Elisha, they too had the same leather tallit(prayer shawl) called a mantle in many Bibles. John's hair was very long, probably down to his waist, with a beard probably down to his stomach. He was very clean and combed his hair neatly. Not wild looking like most pictures & preachers portray him. How do we know this? The Bible! Because John was a Priest as was his father a Priest and his father was doing his service(course) in the Temple when he became dumb and couldn't speak as we see in Luke 1:5 (his course meant he was burning incense). Elijah's mantle or Prayer Shawl-(Hebrew-tallit) was put on the right side of the alter Luke 1:11 "And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the Altar of Incense." And tradition says Zacharias gave the camel's skin Tillit to John, his real name is Yocannon. And the reason his hair and beard were so long is because it was never cut from birth because he was a Nazarite and they could never cut their hair or eat/drink grapes-fruit of the vine- like wine, Grape Juice-(just like Samson whose real name is Shim-shone, he too was a Nazarite from birth. A vow is different because after the vow you could shave your hair off and be out from under the Vow/Promise). John was Messiah Yeshua(Jesus') cousin & he was 6 month older than Messiah-Luke 1:36. Shows there's a lot in The Bible and Jewish history, one just needs to: "Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2Tim.2:15
