I'm having a hard time picturing this UID's outfit. I'm not sure if this was on here or not, but I've heard a few people imply that the clothing could have been perceived as having been somewhat provocative and may indicate possible involvement in prostitution.
However, personally, I don't get that vibe at all. I mean no offense to the UID in any way in saying this, but to me, his outfit just sounds very mismatched and strange. I ask out of legitimate curiosity, as I have no firsthand experience with the time period, but was this sort of outfit considered "in-style" among young men in the early 70s? I've always gotten the impression that the UID was just wearing a bunch of random odds and ends (possible hand-me-downs or thrift store / donated clothing). I also see that no brands are listed for any of the articles of clothing, which may or may not imply that they were cheap.
This isn't to say that the UID was not in sex work, given what we know about his pubic region being shaved. Speaking of which, despite the shaving, I personally think that it's more likely that if anything, someone (whether it was the UID himself or someone else) was trying to make the UID look older than his actual age. If this is the case, it looks like they might have actually succeeded in doing so, at least initially. If I recall correctly, the UID was originally thought to have been in his late teens or early twenties, and it wasn't until they exhumed his remains that they were able to determine that he might not have even been a teenager yet when he was murdered. I'm not sure how what basis they used to make the original estimate, though, considering that the UID was very decomposed after spending three or four days exposed to the Florida elements.
