Yes and no. Folks wore tunics or robes to drape over them as body coverings, but workers at work either wore a sort of loincloth wrap or possibly worked naked. Cloth was a precious commodity because it was all hand made. There are descriptions in Roman and Greek writings that describe how women had a slip or shift under an outer dress. The Law of Moses describes how priests were to wear undergarments that "covered their nakedness" when performing priestly duties, so Jesus probably wore a loincloth very much like that commonly pictured on Catholic artwork depicting Jesus on the cross--which incidentially was likely inaccurate, those crucified were usually naked to complete their shame. Jesus, then, probably wore undies when at the Jerusalem temple or perhaps when going to the synagogue on sabbath, and likely was 'freewheeling' all the rest of the time.

most probably they do, even those cultures who never wore cloth have loincloths, although some are purely for decoration. And since the people back then have laundries done occassionally, i think, to conserve water, they would stink immediately if there is no inner garment. They probably had developed or discovered that somehow, wearing inner clothings, which are smaller in size, thinner, easily wash, are affordable to have it changed and washed when once worn. The outer garments on the other hand can be used longer without washing.
i compare this with a modern book about the SAS special forces having have to change their briefs, jockey shorts daily as not to get UTI or urinary tract infections as well as not being detected by smell in operations.

This is a great question! I do not know the answer but my opinion is that they probably did not. And even if they did I bet that Jesus was a freewheeler since His father decided that we were to all be nude anyway. :)

Hate to burst your bubble but Jesus never existed. It is just a myth. There is no proof of Jesus if you back in time and ask about Jesus no one will know who you were talking about.

Girls did, but guys believed those who pee freely are truly free, and those that do not pee freely are down wind. Also, it should be noted that free pee'ers were the forefathers of Damocracy. "Ready on the right, Ready on the left, PEE!
