You're just some random person off a Forum, as you said earlier.
Comfortable, yes, that's what I said. He's comfortable with what he is wearing, he's comfortable with himself. It may not be your idea of comfortable but to others it may well be comfortable so it's totally wrong of you to say "oh but it's hardly comfortable blah blah". Just because it's not what you'd wear it doesn't mean you should pass nasty comments about other people who do choose to wear it.
About the stereotyping thing - yes, the main attribute of the stereotype of a chav is that they all have ASBOs etc. However, they don't. It's a stereotype and therefore is a very generalised comment which on the whole, is not true; so there is no way you can make that assumption in the same way I am sure he wouldn't make the assumption chavs all have ASBOs even though he probably doesn't like them.
