I'm not sure if I am misunderstanding you, Lord Opie, or if I was not clear enough myself.

I am the triple-cranking newbie, and I definitely don't fancy myself a pro.

My point was that if you see someone engaged in a recreational activity in full "uniform," you are more likely to think that the decked-out one fancies himself something special. As opposed to just seeing someone wearing a football jersey at the store, where you are more likely to think that the person wearing the jersey is just a fan.
