Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 19:23. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments.

It was the custom with executioners to take the garments of the criminal.

John 19:23. And made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat woven without seam, woven from the top throughout.

The common robe of the country, for Christ assumed no garment or vesture that would make him seem great. He was too great to need the adornment of any special style of clothes.
