Vi vet nästan ingenting om Ilúvatar barns fysiska tillstånd vid tidpunkten för deras uppvaknande. I den publicerade Silmarillion beskrivs uppenbarelsen av älvorna helt enkelt:
It is told that even as Varda ended her labours, and they were long, when first Menelmacar strode up the sky and the blue fire of Helluin flickered in the mists above the borders of the world, in that hour the Children of the Earth awoke, the Firstborn of Ilúvatar. By the starlit mere of Cuiviénen, Water of Awakening, they rose from the sleep of Ilúvatar; and while they dwelt yet silent by Cuiviénen their eyes beheld first of all things the stars of heaven.

Uppvakningen av män är likaledes vag:
At the first rising of the Sun the Younger Children of Ilúvatar awoke in the land of Hildórien in the eastward regions of Middle-earth; but the first Sun arose in the West, and the opening eyes of Men were turned towards it, and their feet as they wandered over the Earth for the most part strayed that way.

Så nära som jag kan berätta, erbjuder inget av utkasten i Middle Earth-historien mer detaljer än detta; det finns ingen hänvisning till kläder som jag kan hitta.
Det finns ett mycket tidigt utkast (tidigast från Förlorade boken ) som beskriver män i lite mer detalj, men erbjuder inga tips när du svarar på den här frågan:
Now did Nuin descend deeper into the vale, treading softly by reason of some unknown wonder that possessed him, and lo, beneath the trees he saw the warm dusk full of sleeping forms, and some were twined each in the other's arms, and some lay sleeping gently all alone, and Nuin stood and marvelled, scarce breathing.
