Middle-Earth Clothing - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was skimming through the appendixes of LotR along with the book too, and well, I realized, Tolkien dosn't mention Middle-Earth clothing that much, or at least in that much detail. I know clothing is not a big part in novels, and isn't too crucial to the story line, but what sort of clothing did the creatures of Middle-Earth wear? Elves? Dwarves? Orcs?
Let me note, that in seeing the movie, I did get a few idea's as to what they wore, but since fashion is not my main concern in life, I don't know a lot of clothing 'words', so to say.
Oh, and also, if its not too much trouble I would preferably like to know what types of clothing Hobbits wore.
Thank you all so much!
