Can anyone please explain to me why mobsters of today dress like such slobs and hobos? I mean, you don't have to wear $7,000 suits to look dapper, you can even look fresh in designer jeans and t-shirts. But generally speaking, many mobsters today look like complete slobs in baggy sweatpants and shorts with wife beaters and flip-flops. I'm a firm believer that how you dress determines if those you interact with and do business with take you seriously or not. I mean, what politician or big businessman is going to break bread with some fat fuck in a sweat suit? Vito Rizzuto is probably the most modern example of a Mafioso who could sit down with people from all layers of society, but man! He was dapper.
