Always with the kudzu! Sick and tired of fuckin kudzu now, is that!
So what is the contrast of thin, delicate things doing? Like, the man's careful, delicate appearance and comportment or face has the same 'thin' quality or narrowness as his attitude, but one is a problem and one isn't?
In Western historical clothing, collars etc are often replaceable, because they wear more quickly, and/or specially embellished. There are jokes (from truth) about poor men sewing shirt collars onto their jackets like a tuxedo shirt to look respectable, when in fact they can't afford the actual shirt that should be sewn to them/go under the jacket. This comes up for ex in Dickensian material.
