The male wears gaudy patterned shirt, low vest, skin tight pants with a long bottom, a loud braided coat, a square shoulder line, and a high brimmed hat with high boots, while the female fortune shows bright cheap fabrics, short full dresses, and bold hair. They stroll Kearney Street, speaking a slang linked to their class.
