Correct on most counts for this guesser except footwear: always bulled, whether brown [not in town], or black. Just OCD, a Sunday pre-lunch time filler.
Bondhu boots/ brothel creepers if a rapid retreat seemed advisable.
You forgot the Fairisle pullover, with a hole and ink-stain or two ....... waistcoats were for the bosses.
