AN.5.182. Cīvarasutta ("Robes")

Aṅguttara Nikāya ("Collections of Numbered Discourses")

“Mendicants there are these five kinds of people who wear rag robes. What five? A person may wear rag robes because of stupidity … bad desires … madness … because it is praised by the Buddhas … or for the sake of having few wishes … These are the five kinds of people who wear rag robes.”
