The late Fred jordon always appeared at clubs/concerts etc fully dressed as a Shropshire farm labourer - boot, flat cap, waistcoat over his jumper etc.
But there was always a story going around that someone met him on a train once and he was dressed in a suit and tie, and that when he got to his station he went into the toilets and changed into his "stage" gear.
I, of course, never believed it.
