I guess you mean "What did a historic Comanche look like?".

The Comanche very quickly adopted items of white American dress, including shirts, hats, dresses and (unusually) trousers.

Native dress for men was a breechclout with knee-length flaps front and back, thigh-length leggings gartered below the knee and fitted with triangular flaps each side (sometimes painted blue). Skin shirts were fringed and often painted yellow or green.

Native dress for women was originally a knee-length skirt and a poncho-like top; later three-skin dresses were worn. Dresses seem to have been painted in muted yellow or buff and were heavily fringed.

Moccasins had long fringes at the heel and along the instep; women combined moccasins with low leggings to create "boots", often with silver conchos down the side seam.

Women wore their hair loose and with the central parting painted red. Men wore two long braids wrapped in otter fur, or plastered the hair with red clay.
