Peasant Clothing (Peasants)

 THE COMMON PEASANT CLOTHING IS MADE OF WHITE HURT WOOL...

Worn by free persons (presumably men):

Two peasants walked by, in their rough tunics, knee-length, of the white wool of the Hurt. They carried staves and grain sacks.

(Beasts of Gor, 47)

Worn by free women:

In Samnium she had been a rich woman, of a family well known on its Street of Coins. Doubtless many times she would have held herself a thousand times superior to the poor peasant women, coming in from the villages, in their bleached woolen robes, bringing their sacks and baskets of grain and produce to the city's markets.

(Mercenaries of Gor, 19-20)

Worn by slaves:

The sun was high overhead. It was hot. There was a peasant's kerchief on my head.

I worked in my master's fields. I was alone. I wore a peasant's tunic. It was white and sleeveless, of the wool of the Hurt. It came high on my thighs.

(Slave Girl of Gor, 190-191)

...OR REP CLOTH

Facing me, clean-shaven, but with a massive, regal face concealed in the hood of a peasant, his gigantic body broad and powerful in the coarse rep-cloth garment of what is thought to be Gor's lowest caste (...)

(Assassin of Gor, 157)

PEASANTS MIGHT ALSO WEAR OTHER TYPES OF SIMPLE TUNICS

The fellow who had halted the auctioneer was plainly clad, in a simple brown tunic, and was surely of low caste, perhaps of the peasants, or a drayman of sorts.

(Prize of Gor, 491)

PEASANT FREE WOMEN CAN GO BAREFOOT

She was peasant, barefoot, her garment little more than coarse sacking. She had been carrying a wicker basket containing vulos, domesticated pigeons raised for eggs and meat.

(Nomads of Gor, 1)

THEY DO NOT ALWAYS WEAR VEILS, BUT MAY VEIL THEMSELVES FROM STRANGERS

Complex veiling and the Robes of Concealment are most common, of course, in urban areas, and particularly so amongst women of the higher castes. To be sure, even peasant women may veil themselves before strangers, and, one supposes, wisely.

(Prize of Gor, 546)

LOW CASTE WOMEN IN GENERAL MIGHT ONLY OWN ONE VEIL

Veils are worn in various numbers and combinations by Gorean free women, this tending to vary by preference and caste. Many low class Gorean women own only a single veil which must do for all purposes.

(Slave Girl of Gor, 106)

ROUGH ROBES AND PROTECTIVE WRAPS FOR RAIN

He was a large man in the rough rain robes of the peasant. Near him, leaning against the wall behind him, wrapped in leather to protect it from the dampness, was a yellow bow, the long bow of the peasants.

(Raiders of Gor, 181)

A VERY POOR PEASANT GIRL MIGHT WEAR A GRAIN SACK

"This [garment made by cutting holes in a Sa-Tarna sack] makes me look ridiculous," she said.

'It is not unknown for free teen-age girls of poor families, in rural areas, to wear such garments," I said.  (...)

"I am not the simple, dirty, barefoot, unkempt, scrawny teen-age daughter of some destitute peasant in some out-of-the-way place," she said. "I am the Lady Yanina of Brundisium!"

(Players of Gor, 217)

PEASANTS' SLAVES WEAR ROPE COLLARS

I would have settled even for a peasant's slave, usually large, coarse girls, in rope collars, but the gates to their pens hung open.

(Vagabonds of Gor, 70)

"Would you like to be a naked slave of peasants, a community slave, in a peasant village," I asked, "and wear a rope collar, and be taught to hoe weeds and pull a plow, and spend your nights in a sunken cage?"

(Mercenaries of Gor, 213)

THEY CAN BE KEPT NAKED AT NIGHT

I remembered the peasants, with their switches and sticks. I trembled. I knew, too, that such men often used girls, with the bosk, to pull plows, under whips. At night, unclothed, when not being used, they were commonly chained in a straw kennel with a dirt floor.

(Captive of Gor, 265)
