Q1: What was the most important thing about clothes as far as poor people were concerned?

[Answer]

In early Tudor times there were a small number of wealthy people and a large number of poor people.

It was very clear whether you were wealthy or poor by the way you dressed.

If you were wealthy you wore clothes you couldn't possibly work in. If you were poor, you wore clothes that were simple to make and could easily be mended.
