Two possibilities cross my mind. The first is that the Blondie/Ramones era punk rock girls dressed similar to what you describe and looked hot doing so. The hateful stare may be someone just doesn't like how you dress and/or chooses to read something into it. As for your other question, I do occasionally wear a Pinhead T shirt that will get some glances. The only other stuff I wear that might be noticed, is if someone has a clue what Glock, HK, SigSauer or Kimber means. If they do and don't like it, they can piss up a rope.
That's where my style basically comes from - mid-1970's New York punk - because it's something I relate to and obsess over. And yes, they can piss on a rope! That's a good attitude!

I often wear a denim jacket with a Black Sabbath logo on the back...
I've got a Sabbath patch on the front of my hoodie \m/ It's a replica of the logo from the Born Again album.
Mine is the picture on the cover of the first album and the logo from that record.

I dress the same way, but only get people asking if I am in a band, which is weird since I have absolute no musical talents, I can't stand wearing golf shirts and kahaki pants, they look kinda gay, not that thats a bad thing, I hate bright colors and prefer black or blue, only low rise boot cut jeans and a black t shirt, black steel toed shoes or boots, the same basic cloths I have been wearing since the mid 70's, only then I also wore a scruffy lumberjack shirt and an army jacket, nobody can ever dress up a head banger
I've been asked what band I'm in too. It's really funny, but it only happens to me in places where people don't see many rockers or places where one would expect to run into a rock star - like the airport.
I agree that there are comfort-related reasons for dressing the way we dress. Fancy clothes are uncomfortable. Soft cotton, including well-worn denim, is very comfortable. Leather is good because it's comfortable in different temperatures. My wardrobe is mostly black, white, and gray - so I don't have to worry about what pants go with what shirt. I have more important things to worry about first thing in the morning - like what record to listen to.
