Some of those pictures are not at all what I picture Gollum looking like. The loincloth looks right though, somehow . . . I wonder if he made it himself? Poor Smeagol, only has old dirty rags to cover himself with . . . why, if he has his Preciousss, he will have a beautiful newsss loincloth, made of mithril, yesss, preciouss . . .

I dont think that he would of worn any clothes he spent alot of time in the water and was almost fish like. Although he probably still would of had a item of clothing around his waist. Im sure Sam would of complaind if he didnt. But if he didn't have any clothes on it would explain why he always had his head in between his legs when sleeping.

Well, at least he had pockets...
When having riddles with Bilbo he thinked what he had in his pockets and then what other people might keep in theirs.
He had quite a lot of stuff in his possession in that island of his.
He was propably some sort of a collector...

I would think that Gollum would wear clothes. He came from a pretty high class family amongst the Stoors that he lived with. I'm sure he still wanted to keep his dignity

You're right, Lightice! I completely forgot about that part of the Hobbit. If he has pockets, then he most likely has some sort of clothing.

*speculates on pocket evidence in riddles in the dark*

wellll tolkien may have intended gollum to be at least semi-clad, although in the movie gollum is nude, probably all but a rag around his essentials. at least that's how they dressed the cave troll, who is even more animalistic then gollum. but this forum is about the books and not the movie so it doesn't really matter
