If I were ever confronted about any of those three conditions - all of which I'm guilty of - I'd just silently point to one of those paintings.
Well, Ron, Mike_Oettle and I have discussed John the Baptist's clothing being somewhat similar to the belted plaid.
I'm not a bible scholar, a preacher, or a theologian, though, so I really have no idea.
I do have long hair. I usually point to the long-haired, American founding fathers, like George Washington, that are depicted on our money and such, when it comes up.
Ehh, what do I know?

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
