"So just rip them," Gerry advises nonchalantly, gesturing to the ripped out knees of his trousers. There's an eye tattoo glaring out of each ragged hole. "If you don't like part of it, just tear it off or cut it open. If it doesn't work for you, just destroy it until it does work or becomes unwearable and then use the bits to ruin something else."

There are other hints that he follows this philosophy, such as his threadbare duster and waistcoat covered in embroidered or painted patches.
