What did serf wear in the middle ages?

Answer 1

For a man clothing started with a piece of underwear somewhat similar to large boxer shorts or loose pajama pants. These were know as breeches, breeks, or braies. These were held in place by a tie similar to a shoe lace. A shirt was worn over this. The shirt was longer than waist length, being somewhere between thigh and knee length. Under garments were usually linen. Over the shirt went a tunic, essentially a long wool overshirt, of similar length to the undershirt. The legs were covered with long stockings that covered the enter leg, and were held in place with ties. Shoes were simple and made of leather. Medieval shoes had to be repaired or replaced frequently, consequently shoemakers were one of the most common tradesmen in towns and cities. Hats were nearly universal and came in a number to style, the most common being a coif, a simple cloth garment that fit close to the head and might be tied under the chin.

Women's clothing was similar, but the shirt and tunic were much longer, making them essentially dresses. Women's stockings were shorter, as much less of their legs showed. There is some debate as to if women wore breeches. Women wore headgear, which might be as simple as a cloth hair wrap or include a variety of hats.

Both genders wore a belt, and because garments were short on pockets small items were either carried thrust through the belt, tied to it, or in small pouches or bags tied to the belt. A knife was a universal tool and utensil in the middle ages. Everyone from commoners to monks to merchants carried one in their belt.

Medieval clothing involved alot of layers because of the limited heating of medieval buildings. In cold weather more layers like a mantle (basically a sleeveless coat) would be added. During hot weather the tunic might not be worn, leaving only the shirt. When doing very strenuous work in hot weather, such as at harvest time, men might work only in the breeches to stay cool.
