MEN'S FASHION
Tall Pants
Trousers also spread farther up the waist, about 3 inches or so above the naval and hung down in long column like shapes. Pant legs cuffed at the bottom for more causal wear and were straight hemmed for more professional attire. A strong pressed pleat down the center completed the look. Most 1930s trousers were quite wide compared to today’s slim fitting trend. |
Gangster Style
Gansters/Mafia/Racketering gentlemen all had a unique and bold style to their fashion. Striped double breasted suits worn with monogrammed shirts were a must have staple. Accessories such as charm bracelets, a signet ring, and grey felt fedoras with wide ribbon bands in almond, green, dove, lilac, petrol blue, brown or dark grey identified just which mob you were a part of.

V Shaped Suits
Even more V shapes appear on 1930s men’s topcoats and suit coats with the appearance of very wide pointed lapels. Covering half the width of a man’s chest the lapels extended down to not the first, but the second set of a 4 button double breasted closure. The elongated lapels again emphasized the V shape. |
