Is there such a thing as ordinary, socially unmarked clothing? 
Perhaps shoes from PayLess or K-mart,
instead of Doc Martens.  What could we possibly wear that would 
not locate our social role?


Sorry, I buy my shoes from PayLess because they 
carry non-leather products, which marks a social 
role for me and others like me --  ethical 
vegetarians.  I guess there's no way out of this 
argument!
