The Good Fellows

The dapper gangster look of the 20s-30s. RPPC. Private Collection.

These four gents are wearing the classic suits and hats made iconic by the bad guys of the era. The gentleman to the front right has the perfect looks and demeanor for the style, doesn’t he? He looks like the leader of the pack, and he stands out wearing a light colored suit against his friends’ darker ones. Interesting detail is no one’s holding a smoke in their hand, but they’re all smiling!

RPPC: I haven’t seen this type before. It has a stamp box with S in each corner.

I think the man in the light coloured suit looks like an actor. They look like goodfellas indeed :-D! Great photo!

I do love the old gangster fashion – there’s nothing like it! These four do, indeed, have that look. Such a great image!
