What did male indentured servants in Colonial times wear — clothing and shoes/boots?

Boot Shoes
Writer Chick asked:


I’ve researched this, but have only found clothing styles for middle and upper class men (and women). Given the expense of hosiery and breeches, it seems impractical to expect that a poor working class person would wear that (especially one working as a farm hand). I would think they would also wear sturdy work shoes or boots, but am uncertain what they would look like.

    The typical outfit for the day was a black Fubu hoodie, black South Pole jeans, black Birdman Lugz, and a gold-grill with “My Hood” embedded in diamonds.
