The point that stood out the most for me was '...the subculture does not construct their identity, but acknowledges it ( ... )

I'm glad that point stood out because it was pretty much what I was getting at. Sewing is good, PVC skirt is goood... I got your manuscript but I'm not at home so I'll download it soon. That's really awful. I can understand more mainstream subcultures buying their clothes and 'appropriating' them but when a subculture that defines itself on not giving in to corporations starts mass producing clothes it just becomes a cliche. I guess we get that here too.
