911: no
Red Braces: yes, red felt, and I have yellow ones too
City Job: yes
Filofax: yes, its a red felt pin-stripe one
Pinstripes: of course, and a stripy shirt and club tie

Does that count anyway?

[ICSD]

911: yes
Red Braces: no
City Job: no
Filofax: no
Pinstripes: no

However, I think that this is slightly off the mark as fashions change and so that type of person would have moved on as follows:-

BMW M3: no
Colour coordinated shirt and tie: no
City job: no
Flip phone (with associated gun pulling actions): no
Armani suit: no
