You really have to see it from the frat guys’ perspective. In their experience, when a guy is wearing jodphurs around it’s usually a sadistic ROTC upperclassman who just wants to torture their pledges needlessly. Didn’t you see _Animal House_?

Where I got the idea that Walker might be a cool guy to hang out with is his interest in the history of said uniforms and the like-it sounds like he might be an interesting person to talk to.

That’s all. Not because he wears said uniforms, but just because-hey, he’s interested in history/military/uniforms or whatever unique interest someone might have.

Does that make sense?
