I remember when chin straps used to be deployed in the general vicinity of the chin. Often they’d be a little too short to reach the chin itself, giving an appearance of military severity — but this just looks ridiculous to me.
Seriously, what’s up with that?
Perhaps they are marching behind horses or elephants.
Austerity everywhere. That roll of chin-strap doesn’t grow on trees, ya know!
You’re not the only one wondering. . .
