You can bet all his clothes were paint spotted. In the Borinage he gave his clothes away because he couldn't bear to be better dressed than the miners. The only photograph of him as an adult shows him wearing a top hat - in Paris. Black hobnail boots, which he painted. "A blue drill jacket, which he wore constantly. He did not wear either collar or tie. For headgear, he wore a felt hat with large flaps, and when the sun shone, a straw hat like those worn by gardeners or fishermen" (Adeline Ravoux) He wore some of his father's clothes, such as his coat. In Arles he writes of buying strong trousers, stout shoes and shirts of strong linen and a black velvet jacket. A pipe was his constant accessory.
