2479. Abū Burdah bin Abī Mūsā narrated that his father said: "O my son! If you saw us when we were with the Prophet ﷺ and the sky poured upon us, you would think that our smell was the smell of sheep." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Sahīh. The meaning of this Hadīth is that their garments were of wool, so when the rain fell upon them, the smell coming from their clothes was that of sheep.
٢٤٧٩ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: «يَا بُنَيَّ لَوْ رَأَيْتَنَا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصَابَتْنَا السَّمَاءُ» لَحَسِبْتَ أَنَّ رِيحَنَا رِيحُ الضَّأْنِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَمَعْنَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ ثِيَابَهُمُ الصُّوفُ، فَإِذَا أَصَابَهُمُ الْمَطَرُ يَجِيءُ مِنْ ثِيَابِهِمْ رِيحُ الضَّأْنِ.

The Hadīth confirms that wearing wool, or any garment of a cloth whose value is low to a people is allowed. It is not necessarily a sign of making a false show of one's 'otherworldliness' and piety.
