I don't think Borrelli even made suits back then.

which would explain the smile.

Le Clan des Siciliens (The Sicilian Clan) with Jean Gabin and Alain Delon was on this morning. Really cool 60s style and design, plus a Morricone soundtrack. And some boobs.

while Pacino from Godfather II is one of the most stylish characters ever put on screen, i've always had a thing for Yakuza style over Italian mafia style myself.

The suits aren't "canvassed" and don't pinch you in your hips so tight that the button
sew stretches.

The pants aren't ball hugging and tight enough. Why would anyone like MOB clothes in SF?

I've read a cool article a couple years back about custom made suits, yakuza style.. good stuff.

They are all wearing fairly conservative suits, why no 'gangster' stripes?

Mostly bankers wear the stripes, hence the understandable confusion.

True. And is that a pocket square in his vest pocket?

He liked western belts as well.

BTW, on EGR's right is Harry Lewis, who founded the Hamburger Hamlet restaurant chain. He used to hold court at the BH store and regale us with all sorts of Hollywood stories, great times.
