Who?

Answer:
Cottars were the Scottish or Irish equivalent to sharecroppers in the American south.
A medieval cotter would dress as any other peasant in basic and practical clothing. It would consist of:

  • breeches, or tight drawers, mostly made of leather
  • tight tunics or doublets
  • capes or cloaks of coarse brown wool
  • a belt, to which the knife, the purse, and sometimes the working tools were suspended.
  • shoes or large boots (generaly arefoot was in style to save the expensive boots)
  • a woolen or skin hat in cold or wet weather
  • work gloves were sometimes worn if needed for hand protection
