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.
It a my opinion but more criminals in Naples even if have milions in cash under the bed,they don't dress in expensive clothes or use luxury cars so that when they are arrested they won't have to worry about the tax authorities looking for property to seize or looking for the cash they are hiding,and very often they also ask for the help of the public defender.
Maybe the mobsters do the same thing.
