In the book To Be a Slave former slaves were interviewed in the 1930's before too many had died. According to the people who had been slaves the men had one cotton pair of pants and a shirt. No shoes and if they were lucky a hat or coat. Women had a cotton dress. House slaves faired much better than field slaves since many got castoff clothing. Children until about 2 years old didn't have clothing and young children pants, shirt for boys and a cotton slip type dress for girls.
