I agree! It applies to everything regarding costume: e.g. Eyelets weren't ever re-inforced with rings! - except for the rust rings on 1 of the extant corsets! Wool was only ever worn 100% for gentry! - except for the two Norwich Tailor's inventory which showed silk for gowns on the local Bacon gentry! French Hoods are ALWAYS only ever Black, red or White! - Except for the one French Hood (on the Catherine Howard portrait) which is not red, white or black! Its brown!

So, there is ALWAYS an exception to the "rule".
