"They don't even feel like proper clothes, if you ask me. They're very fine and comfortable, I'm not complaining about that, but blood and ashes they're like something a noble lady wears to sleep in."
Mat is not complaining about the free new clothes, he hasn't had new clothes in years. And he's used to wearing the same thing every day, he's only had one thing to wear for most of his life. But they're so thin and minimal...no vest, no jacket, no leggings under the trousers....
The thought of wandering around the city in them is vaguely uncomfortable, and not just because he's easily identified as property of the castle.
"It rains, and we're going to be practically indecent! But I plan on seeing what I can get my hands on in the city. Cities have taverns, taverns have gambling. I am very good at gambling."
