Clothing for Clarinetists

I think young Mr. Abramovitz does a remarkable job with the Debussy Premiere Rhapsody here period, let alone for his age:

Mesager's Solo De Concours too:

That said, might anyone postulate a clarinet related reason why he appears to be wearing some sort of wrap around his neck?

His Canadian extraction would suggest clothing choices virtually indistinguable from those of US citizens, where I haven't seen such a style before (for all the last word on clothing style on am not.)

Maybe it's just so "crazy cold" where he lives and this helps with warmth.

Maybe it's just a sore throat thing.

Or maybe a conversation similar to the following took place:

Mom: "Eric, you look rediculous in your father's shirt. The neck is 3 sizes too large for you. Throw this on."

More important, his interpretations and ability far exceed his age I think, neck wrap or not.
