Who Is The Man In Orange?

I was walking around Battery Park today when I saw The Man In Orange:

Look closely – not only orange hat and orange coat, but matching orange suit and shoes. AND MATCHING SHOES. Where do you buy this kind of thing???

The best part was watching the reactions from park-goers, like this woman…

…and this guy (note shoes)…

…and these guys…

I felt like I had walked into a David Lynch movie…or a 70’s baxploitation film. Any ideas on who the mysterious Man In Orange really is?
