I don't know if this will help at all - but -

Whenever some top nob got a new silk jacket he would take a rickshaw ride and have the puller wearing the new jacket, and when it was fairly dripping he would hand it over to be washed and end up with a comfortable jacket to wear.

I can't remember where I read that - that is the trouble with a memory like a vacuum cleaner, but something useful does drop out of the heap sometimes. Or if it is not useful it can be mildly interesting.
