I suspect that they wore clothing made of cloth, mainly cotton and wool. Both men and women's styles were different from today, and the cloth was probably a little coarser. They didn't have the skills to obtain and treat hides for clothing while they traveled, and even if they had the techniques for assembling garments from animal skins was quite different from those used with cloth.
