The following day, the pair visit a vintage clothing store in Tunbridge Wells, where they rummage through old hats, scarves, and jackets. McGough is fascinated with a vintage leather jacket once worn by a famous rock star, while Zephaniah seeks to find a classic piece that reflects his Rastafarian roots.
