In Maryland, Michael Pugh donned a wool coat, knit cap, waterproof pants and heavy boots to trudge more than a mile through four inches of wet snow to his bank in downtown Hagerstown, about 70 miles west of Baltimore.
Singular among the clothes in the show is a superbly cut black wool coat and trouser suit of 1928, made for Michael Strange, which was the pseudonym of Blanche Oelrichs, a poet who was once married to the actor John Barrymore.
