Didn't turn out exactly how I'd hoped, but I tried.

Let's hope I get at least third. :3

Now, let's face it, a peasant might not have too much money. They might be conservative, making their clothing last as long as possible before having to go off and buy more, or buy the material to make more. This might lead to some tears, patches, and other stuff.

I aimed for the poor peasant idea, so, we can assume that they wouldn't have really great clothing and all that. I think that they would be conservative, trying to make everything last as long as possible.

Do you think that explains it?
