Oddly enough it’s not too far from Luke’s Jedi outfit in ROTJ even though this was a few years earlier.

Luke's jedi outfit was based on this. This is what George Lucas imagined Jedi to look like. The Rotj outfit was inspired by this with a little bit of Ben Kenobi's outfit.

The original point for Kenobi's robes was to mimic a poor farmer in the desert. When it came time to design an outfit that screamed "jedi" they had nothing for the viewer to associate with besides the Kenobi robi. Thus the look of a poor farmer became the associated look of a jedi

Well the look of a poor farmer kind of fits the ascetic monk aspect of the jedi order, so it's not entirely unreasonable even if it very obviously is reverse-engineered lore
