No, he doesn’t seem steeped in American customs, but we know his Grandmother Dunham raised him and he should have been familiar with wedding rings and the finger they are worn on. So many fingers and he chooses that one, lol.
As to the winter/summer clothes, I’ll remain puzzled about that. In winter or summer I wear winter or summer clothes inside too, just add a coat to go outside in winter and I live down south.
The coat did appear often, but as I said - a good leather coat lasts a long time.
Thanks for your info, I know you have been very knowledgeable about all of this over time.
You missed something. The only reason it looks like the leather coat had a long life, is IF you believe zero was wearing it...right from the image with Siddiqi through to Nairobi, which we are told was either in 1985 or 1987, depending in who's telling the story.
The only constant is the jacket...goodness knows whose head was there. Who was it with Genevieve?
