The clothes on display are worn in layers and show wear and the worst of fit: everything appears either three sizes too big or three sizes too small. Shirt, waistcoat and jacket are usually visible; vests often show at the neck, and in many of the pictures there is more than one waistcoat or jacket being worn on top of another, some done up and some left open. Rather than wearing high-quality, warm fabrics, these people were simply layering up with whatever extra garments they could find. All the garments have rips, repairs and patches, and they mostly look filthy.
