Re: How to Dress Like Rock Star (mainly Charlie)
You have to remember how big Ellington was, and during the depression swing era, the size of crowds the dance venues could hold: anything from 2000-5000 people seven nights a week. He also had a marketing strategy from the late 20s onwards of serious music with dance interludes and that's why he was dressing like it was a classical performance.
Johnson by comparison, was playing in hick roadhouses and in a musical style, already considered old hat and out of date. The rest is myth.

Re: How to Dress Like Rock Star (mainly Charlie)
I notice a similarly between the styles of Charlie Watts and Edward Sexton. Is Charlie one of his customers?
