No, Herb's sense of "fashion" was definitely played for laughs and a lot of the jokes about him were about his wardrobe.

Herb looked like a walking advertisement for Sears.

I wish MASH had done the same with Frank Burns, excellently played by Larry Linville.

For some reason, Burns' character was never allowed to expand beyond his obnoxious a-hole role, which for sure annoyed Linville.

Look at how MASH's writers transformed Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan and Chas. Emerson Winchester.
