What does the mafia actually dress nowadays?

Some, mostly older Mafiosi may wear fedora dress hats, occasionally, but most don't wear them anywhere near as much as classic gangster films would have one believe. Flat caps or newsboy caps, reflecting a classic early 20th century look, are a little more common, but still much less common than wearing no hat at all, or maybe a baseball cap. In recent decades, Italian American gangsters have taken track suits and other forms of casual wear, but actual dress suits are still common. The movies Casino and Goodfellas are good examples of what late 20th century gangsters in America often went for, with clothes, whereas The Godfather movies mostly reflect the early-mid 20th century fashions.

The Sopranos is a very good example of the modern American Mafia, I agree. I had forgotten to mention it, particularly, but I did not forget about the image of modern tracksuits and other casual clothes being worn by members during jobs.

>>13933054
Many businessmen still wear suits, so in classier settings, they will do just fine to fit in, and express some of their sartorial flair, looking possibly a little flashier than most businessmen look.

They're nowhere near as big as they once were, and at this point they're basically just holding onto their last little vestiges of power. In my area (South Florida), they've pretty much been eclipsed by black/hispanic gangs and the Russian mob.

Ralphie for sure had good taste (I though his ascots were nice) but you have to look at the disposition in which they carried themselves. Ralphie was a sleazy cunt with a bad hairpiece and he was greasy enough to never really be able to carry himself properly. Sack on the other hand was cunning, calculating, intelligent and brutal, but never unreasonable and his unconditionally love of his wife really made you respect the guy as much as fear him. His high sense of fashion gave him the attitude of pure seriousness which was essential for his position in the mob. Also, he had every right to want to ice Ralphie for insulting his wife. His "is nothing sacred" bit is spot on. He represented the honor of old school mafia credo where if you took liberties, you paid with your life Ralphie crossed the line and he would have been whacked without hesitation had it been a few decades earlier.
