I didn’t wear a leather jacket, man. I didn’t grow up in the ’50s.

I’ve had the belt and it’s great. But at the end of the day it’s just 12 pounds of leather and gold.

Men always look smart in a well-fitted, tailored suit. Conversely, they can be incredibly handsome in jeans combined with a cashmere jumper or a beaten-up leather jacket or even just a cotton T-shirt.

When I arrived to study at Oxford in October 1963, the bohemian style was black plastic or leather jackets for women and black leather or navy donkey jackets for men. I stuck to cavalry twills and a duffle coat, at least for a few months.

I once wore a maroon leather dress with sleeves, which looked fabulous in real life but didn’t look great on TV. It was shiny, and it looked like something Pinky Tuscadero would wear.

I really like the Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony collection – all of those kind of laser-cut leather dresses.

Because we always have to wear a uniform to compete, my teammates and I look the exact same. My belt is the only accessory that I get to choose. I usually wear a yellow cloth belt with cherries or a leather belt with a beautiful tree buckle that I got at a thrift store.
