Everybody, not just Mob bosses, dressed better in thr Fifties and earlier. Unless you were a manual worker, you wore a suit, hat and tie to work. Mob guys dressed to the hilt to "fit in" with "legitimate" people and to show "class," which meant something in those days. And, the only men who wore track suits were track runners.



Yep they would fit in now in a suit you would be often overdressed in a crowd and stand out you don't want that as a criminal lol. Casual expensive designer clothes are now more common dresscode, unless you go to court or official meetings.
