Good comment by Steve about Fred Jordan, to which I would add that he had of course been an actual farm labourer for a good many years before the folkies discovered him, and the outfit he wore dated back to that period of farm work from the late 1930s onwards, thus appearing anachronistic and quaint to his audiences from the late 50s onwards. Not that he didn't milk it! There's an amusing anecdote from Reg Hall in the 'Shropshire Lad' CD liner notes to the effect that Fred was extremely unimpressed by the 'country bumpkin' fact of Cyril Philips when they met at a festival in 1959. Fred certainly thought hard about the way he presented himself.
