This always bothered the hell out of me. Why do they look like they are elves from middle earth, except they are wearing somewhat ragged clothes?

Probably because they didn‘t wash their faces with hot water and soap all the time but instead took sweat baths and washed them with cold water to keep the protective layer. They also had better teeth than most of us these days by the way.
