I just have to laugh when you place Berkeley in the sixties with
historic dress. I was one of those Berkeley hippies of the '60s and I
didn't realize I was considered historic!

:-) It's interesting how an era is frozen into/associated with the
identity of certain places. There's a good question, other than
hoops in the south, what other places are associated with historic
dress? Hmmm, Philadelphia 1776 comes to mind. Plymouth and 17thC
puritan dress.
Berkeley, CA, and the 1960s. You see aging Hippies, and ones whose
parents were barely born in the 1960s, on the streets in Berkeley, CA,
even today.
