English term or phrase: a little cultivated

Documental sobre Lemmy, el líder de Motörhead. El que hace esta descripción es otro músico, Slash, ex-guitarrista de Guns N' Roses:

Lemmy’s look is something that is probably a little cultivated from back in the 50s, and then added to that some of the sort of shit that he picked up along the way, bikers, punk rock, whatever.

Muchas gracias.
