When it comes to Hobos, the good thing is thay you're not tied down to a certain style, anything goes. That could mean too big, oversized clothes or even too small.

If you recall, Chaplin's li'l Tramp character's outfit consisted of a mix-matched tight jacket, baggy pants and big shoes.

Here's a piece from Wikipedia.....

"I had no idea what makeup to put on. I did not like my get-up as the press reporter [in Making a Living]. However on the way to the wardrobe I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. I wanted everything to be a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large. I was undecided whether to look old or young, but remembering Sennett had expected me to be a much older man, I added a small moustache, which I reasoned, would add age without hiding my expression.
I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the makeup made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked on stage he was fully born." (Chaplin, My Autobiography: 154).

I think best of all, wear whatever you are comfortable in. Clowning in an uncomfortable environment or attire does not make it fun and won't keep your interest for long.

Hope this helps,
