Convicts in the 18th century typically wore clothing made of coarse, durable materials such as wool or canvas. They were often dressed in uniforms that distinguished them from the general population, such as grey or striped jackets and trousers. Additionally, a broad arrow symbol, also known as the "convict arrow," was usually stamped on their clothing to denote their criminal status.
