It’s pretty clear that your higher-caliber gangsters were big believers in the old saying about how you should dress for the job you want.Hopefully your teen won’t be following the same advice in this snazzy polyester costume, as there aren’t many places hiring old-timey gangsters these days. When you think about gangsters of the Prohibition era, what comes to mind? It’s time to start practicing your Edward G. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a good time rocking this eye-catching pinstripe get-up, featuring a double-breasted jacket with four buttons and wide lapels, and matching trousers. Look back through historical photos of Al Capone and his various partners in crime and you’ll see a bunch of well-dressed fellows who look like they’re up to no good. Robinson impression, but remember to keep an eye out for the paddy wagon! When you think about it, though, that likely wouldn’t have been the most practical look for your more prudent wiseguys. That’s not to say that real-life gangsters didn’t take pride in their appearances, though. Tough customer or not, when your primary source of income is something less than legal, it’s unwise to walk around in an outfit that more or less screams, “I am involved in organized crime!”Anyway, that image probably has more to do with Hollywood and Dick Tracy comics than with reality. If you’re like most folks, you probably picture a square-jawed tough guy in a brightly colored pinstripe suit, sporting an oversized hat and toting a tommy gun.
