One can see it in the type of materials used. I remember Angie Chiu Ah Chi in a version/derivative of Zu Mountain that liked its synthetic materials - I'm sure that was 80's if not pre-80's.
Out of interest Plushie, do you take note of period costume as a hobby or is it a focus in your studies? Costume has never been my particular cup of tea, but I have found it interesting since JB days. I lean more towards military (as if one can escape that) exploits, socio-cultural structures, a dab of technology and of course, medicine.
