I wondered about his stick. It really is betwixt and between - too long for one and too short for the other. It must have been very difficult to use. I go for a daily walk and sometimes I use my walking stick, but other times I just carry it. The other thing is that he has very pronounced sloping shoulders. If he carried the stick, it would stop (to some degree) the plaid slipping off.
