Meanwhile, Lance noticed that they didn't seem to have the custom of wearing underwear. Some of those with a bit of status would pay attention to it, but common people completely lacked this concept.
The clothing of the commoners was so rudimentary it was essentially just a sack with a few holes cut into it, then simply pulled over the body.
Though saying this might seem exaggerated, the reality was not much different; at most, there might be sleeves.
The difference lay in the slightly finer linen fabric used. Such an item of clothing was typically patched repeatedly and could be worn for several years.
Better quality clothing was made from leather, such as the outfit Lance had destroyed, which had cost him three silver coins in the city and was considered rather decent.
But three silver coins represented nearly a month's salary for a regular worker in the city with a stable job.
What about these peasants? It was simply beyond their means.
