Carmine tells Tony, not as an official rule but more as a lesson, that a "Don doesn't wear shorts". Is that a real life thing, that it's considered undignified for a Boss to wear shorts? If so, why?

After Carmine told him that Tony didn't wear shorts until Carmine died. Then he wore them again on that party and on some other occasions too IIRC. Random fact. smile

Bosses are supposed to look dignified at all times hence the no shorts line. However track suits? No problem lol


Just when I thought I was out they pull me back in...

I don't know if it's reliable, but I remember reading a long time ago that a (former?) mobster after seeing Tony where shorts pointed out that a Boss wouldn't do that. The writers then decided to include that fact into the show via that scene.

Lucky Luciano ruled that dons are OK wearing shorts on Saturday afternoons, 2-6pm, but that's it. Tony was flouting the rules and could have been whacked for disrespecting the tradition.

Old school bosses were a different breed.
