It means that the clothing is not skins, which might indicate that the
axes were used for hunting rather than fighting.

Whereas leaves means that the axes are used for chopping down trees
rather than hunting?

Chopping down trees is a rather drastic mean if the goal is to collect
leaves.
On the other hand, axes are more traditionally associated with
chopping down trees (or fighting) than with hunting.
I just assumed the significance of leaves would be explained later.

Me too. I mean, it's not as if the leaves comment is the only thing not
yet explained in this story line.
(A guess: Leaves mean the trees are growing. Growing requires time. Bun-
bun's crew seems awfully concerned about being on "short time," and they
appear to be sailing around outside of time. I think they're stealing
time, and the less time they have, the weaker they are. Having a plentiful
supply of leaves suggests the villagers have more than enough time, and
thus are quite healthy and strong.)

True, but if you go around chopping down trees for other purposes,
you'll end up with a surplus of leaves. When you live in a dimensional
bubble, you can't afford to let them go to waste.

And they spend all their time on the care of their weapons. Personal
appearance and grooming is of only secondary importance.

Uh, here's a guy with two well maintained fighting weapons, and competent to
the point where he's fighting with no armor? No visible scars, so either
he's not really a fighter, or no one can touch him.
Just a possibility now...

I would think it would be the opposite since they would be more likely
to get skins from hunting rather than fighting.
