If he knew how to wear his hat properly and tried not so hard to look thuggish with the way that cigar is used as a prop with that little smirk on his face, then maybe I'd have a different opinion.

Don't tell me he's not taking that picture posing like that for any other reason. Guys a clown, a dumb fuck and a trash piece of shit. Bottom line.

He doesn't deserve to be in New York and like the above poster said, Philly can have him.

I totally agree with everything Rush has been saying. How can anyone defend these fucking bums? They look like they belong in a documentary about incels. I bet this Petey Pan fuck is still a virgin. REAL GANGSTERS DRESS LIKE GANGSTERS!!! If I was the boss of Philly I'd have them both killed immediately. What a fucking disgrace. They disgraced the borgata!!

Guy is a dumb fuck. Someone needs to whack this POS!!!!

The way he's wearing his hat? you just want to nitpick every little thing. I have never seen someone as far out there as you rush becoming a fucking spastic over a hat

He isn't far out there though. I didn't even see that picture initially but now I'm totally on board with what he's been saying. That hat is a gangbangers hat. Gangbangers wear it. Petey wants to be a Crip

Let me show you a real Gangster, in fact one of the strongest Capo's that is alive today. Not some young little bitch who names himself Peter Pan who thinks he's a tough guy and wants to suck Joey Merlino's cock. See how he wears his hat? Do you see his clothes? See the kind of hat he is wearing?

Big difference here...

I mean, to give Tuccio some credit, the guy is doing time at the moment and as far as we know he is keeping his mouth shut. Everybody was saying the guy was gonna turn rat within a week after getting jailed, but that didn't happen.

Nicky Ferriola is a bad motherfucker I totally agree.

Another real gangster who knows how to dress, Sal Avellino

There you go. Perfect.

No one tell him these guys have worn t-shirts before too

I hope Nicky Ferriola has a good run under the radar....he has more then enough potential to be given a sot at a Boss someday.

Every decade had his own fashion, in the 80s everybody dressed like Sonny Crockett lol.

I will admit, being from the older school of motorcycle crowd, when I see guys my own age and younger with the straight brim ball caps and other inner city gang type clothing I think to myself wtf is wrong with that ********. But it ain't my problem.

Rush, you crack me the fuck up lol

They arent dressed like a gangbanger. Nothing is worse than a white guy dressing like a gangbanger though, that is a crime in itself. Then again, nothing is worse than an actual gangbanger.

The more I think about it, they are really trying hard to look like they are Puerto Ricans from the ghetto. WTF is up with that?

A disgrace to Italians and Mobsters everywhere.

Nick Ferriola is arguably one of the most powerful organized crime figures in Chicago and a very sharp dresser these days, but when you go look up pictures of him when he was in his 30's it's clear that he's not always walking around in the most fashionable clothes either.

Not gonna disagree with that one bit! But he came to his senses obviously once he knew he had to take that step up and Represent the Outfit better from a professional standpoint. Knowing he is the boss of the Chinatown street crew instead of just some everyday bookie taking bets.

Peter Pan needs to stop dressing like a teenager and start dressing like a real man. A man who has his shit together just like a seasoned businessman running a company because that is exactly the mindset you need to have as a successful mobster. You are a businessman, this isn't a fucking game or a joke.

Anytime I see Tuccio I'm reminded of Dieter from Sprockets on SNL.

Lol

He'll be getting plenty of practice with that where he is right now.

Thats right! "Open up Petey Pan! Show me how tough you are!!!!!!!"

This thread has been laugh out loud funny. RushStreet you are a funny ass dude.

I can tell you one thing. The clothes Sal Avellino is wearing aren't cheap

Thank you Big Tuna! Happy you are enjoying it!!!

I don't know why people get their panties in a bunch whenever you talk about how sloppy mobsters dress these days. It's like you're talking about their wardrobe or something.

Tell me about it.

To this very day, as I write this post, there are plenty of wiseguys who still dress extremely sharp. Especially when they're going somewhere that requires it (out to eat, to nightclubs, weddings, important business meetings, etc). And then of course there are the guys who like to dress more casual. And then you always have your percentage of slobs, who dress like shit because they have no style, no class, and don't know any better. Or are broke and walk around like broken-down-valises...That will never change!

But isn't that also the way the general public is as well nowadays? And has, in fact, always been like that. Of course it is.

In general, John-Q-Public, isn't dressing as formally as people did decades back, like in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, etc. Women don't wear formal skirts and dresses on a daily basis as females did back then, and men don't wear suits with white shits and ties every single day as their "go to" attire. It's a vastly different world.

It all started to change a bit with the hippy social revolution of the late 1960s, early 1970s. During the late 1970s, into the 1980s (during the disco and club era, it made somewhat of a comeback). But as the years went by, more and more people in general began to dress more casually. Mob guys followed suit. After all, the mob is just a microcosm of the larger world out there, they too are influenced by current trends and styles, no? Or course they are. They live in the same world as everybody else. Just because they make their living a bit different from the crowd, doesn't mean they're not influenced by what goes on around them.

I do agree with the sentiment that the way you carry yourself - which extends to the way you dress - definitely is extremely important when you want people to respect you. Especially in a Dickensian environment like the underworld. If you stroll around like a tramp, who's gonna take you seriously?

100% TKJ. 100%

And thats true, whether you're in the upper-world, or the underworld. It you look like a winener, people are drawn to you (and that transcends into business opportunities). If you look like a slob and loser, then people also view you as such. Whether or not you really are, or aren't.

Perception is reality!

A perfect example of this mentality is a bookmaker. Who in their right mind wants to bet with a bookie you looks like he doesn't have two nickels to rub together? If they win, bettors wanna get paid, not stiffed. So a smart bookmaker dresses like a champ, drives a Cadillac or Benz, and walks around picking up bar tabs. THAT'S how they get friendly and encourage people to become their customers.

A lot of people like to point out Chin Gigante, but I heard that he actually wore a suit under that bathrobe, which was revealed at meetings after removing it. And I've seen some surveillance shots of Gigante when he wasn't doing his crazy act, dude just commanded a lot of respect and exuded boss material, pajamas or no pajamas. But not everyone can pull off a Chin Gigante, that's important to note. The vast majority of guys out there will get spit on and scoffed at and treated like bums if they don't dress properly. I just don't think Gigante is the best example to use, he was one of a kind.
