Going back to folk clothing, or at least folkie clothing in the grand manner, what irritates me is the lack of any context. I get the donkey jacket, duffel coat, even the schoolmasterly bit of Harris tweed and leather elbow pads. What I don't understand is leather hats. I mean, to me leather hats say Clarrisa Dickson Wright, Jilly Cooper and Range Rovers.
Clearly there are so many things I don't understand about this scene.
