00:00 Introduction
As many of our frequent readers know, we are passionate about classic men’s style, especially historic clothes. So, today, we’ll take a closer look at the outfits and suits in the original Godfather film from 1972. We’ll try to point out things that are off, note certain details, and what we could have maybe improved.
The Godfather Style Review
01:10 Don Vito Corleone - The Godfather - Black Tie (Tuxedo)
08:08 Vito's Gray-Brown Country Suit
10:08 Vito's Outerwear: Hats, Overcoats & More
11:14 Vito's Dark, Formal Double-Breasted Suit
13:07 Vito's Casual Outfits
14:58 Michael Corleone - Vito’s Youngest Son - Military Uniform
15:40 Michael's "Ivy League" Outfits
18:57 Michael's Gray Business Suit
19:57 Michael's Outfits in Italy (Casual & Wedding Suit)
21:10 Michael's Gray Striped Suit & Homburg Hat
22:47 Sonny Corleone - Eldest Corleone Son - Black Tie (Tuxedo)
24:41 Sonny's Casual/Street Outfit
25:35 Sonny's "Final" Suit
26:18 Fredo Corleone - Middle Corleone Son - Black Tie (Tuxedo)
27:05 Fredo's Other Outfits: Vegas Looks & More
29:02 Tom Hagen - the consigliere, and then later the lawyer of the family
31:28 How accurate are The Godfather’s costumes?
They want to get that classic feel of the 1940s, but there are definitely some 60s and 70s influences, and it’s overall not a hundred percent historically accurate.
The British, on the other hand, are just miles ahead in that department. And sometimes, the outfits are a bit oversized. If you look at the suits of the B-cast or the C-cast, you can sometimes see really wide lapels and low gorges, which is not something you would have seen like that in the 1940s. So, part of the 70s modern trends made their way into the movie.
Some of the ties in the movie are worn quite a bit longer than they would have been worn in the 1940s, but in the late 60s in the US, Ralph Lauren had these super wide ties, but if you go back in time, ties were a lot shorter than they are today, and they were oftentimes, they ended the belly button, which in combination, they were designed for high-waisted trousers.
So, they got far and they tried to use the more high-waisted pants but with the longer ties so it doesn’t quite mix as well.

    Important to know the book for accurate assessment; Vito especially was said to not fuss too much over his clothes, preferring more 'peasant' approach at times, with his clothes being often 'ill-fitted', as it informed his no-nonsense attitude without vanity. ✌️ Otherwise awesome deep dive!

    I think the slight Don Vito (etc.) fashion faux pass are part of the character explanation. The Don is a hands on, simple dressing hood so he’s naturally going to make mistakes in a tux for example. It’s a fast way of bringing us up to speed on who he is.

    @@gentlemansgazette but film is an expressive medium. So they might intentionally have style faux pais, to make the characterization more obvious. The ruffled shirt definitely makes the singer more kitsch and in general just immature. And you can go through every character and justify these faux pais like that. I think it’s good that they do it that way, because at the end of the day the audience would most probably not have cared or not have known if they’d have had 100% accurate clothing, and in turn the art director and costume designers would have had to sacrifice some of their creative vision.

    @@jamesranson8693 yeah, that’s what I think as well. The Godfather is a perfectly crafted film, and the costume designer is a very capable and very hard working person. So I find it difficult to believe that they were just lazy. Every faux pais works in combination with the characters, or at least they work to accentuate the different personalities. When Vito Corleone wears a Dinner Suit that doesn’t fit him ideally, in combination with the pre-tied bow tie, it makes him look somewhat sloppy. And the whole theme of Act I is about how Vito has grown old, that’s the reason why they manage to shoot him in the first place. Luca Brazi is a bodyguard who is definitely slower than others, that is also reflected in his wardrobe, it’s the reason he’s dresses so poorly. I enjoy listening to Raphael criticise the wardrobe, because it is very entertaining, and I agree with him that Hollywood productions often have sloppier productions than the british equivalents, but the Godfather is so well made in so many respects that I do think it would be surprising if the mistakes where not intentional.

    Why would you exclude the pre tied bow tie from a 1940s outfit? They surely existed, it isn't impossible... If it isn't stylish it's another kind of discussion, you need to also understand that Vito Corleone probably wore bow ties once in a blue moon, so he probably couldn't even tie those; given he was from Southern Italy he probably didn't ever see a bow tie before he reached the US

    I first started wearing suits in the mid 70's. Corduroy was all the rage and that was my first three piece suit. I can say that I have seen family photos from the 20's - 60's and the suit choices and tailoring expertise was varied. Lapel width, shirt pattern, silk tie pattern (and width), shoe style. There were not a lot of off the rack dept store suits until maybe the 50's. Also after the GI's came back in 1945-46, a lot of the guys maybe had 1-2 suits (or none). If you had a customer facing job ( or profession of medicine, law, finance, etc..)you probably wore one. Guys started wearing blazers too instead. What really killed the hat was the car and suburban commutes. Men didn't walk everywhere anymore.

A man who displays a flash of historic class is an artist, a connoisseur and it is fun to keep those ways alive. The history is important and classic style shows that your Father knew enough about style and tradition to guide you. We all remember our Fathers teaching us to tie a tie. Have fun, bring honor to your Father and educate, all at the same time.

Black Oxfords shoes. Being a blonde haired man, I never wear black but navy works for me. I wore a white pleated tuxedo shirt with a regular looking shirt collar that was pointed downward. I modeled that look from Bogart in Casablanca. The studio that I worked for wanted all the photographers to wear tuxedos. Oh, and cuffs, cufflinks, tuxedo shirt decorative type points of jewelry in lapis down the front. Peal buttons on jacket. I wore a pair of thin white cotton gloves in place of a pocket square.

    Love the detail of the orange on the sidewalk at the end of the video, when Raphael strolls through the neighborhood looking for trouble. Please a video about Peaky Blinders´style, next!

    This reminds me of a Mad magazine article I read years ago. They published pastiche reviews of the movie from different magazines criticising the Godfather from their specific point of view. e.g. catering mag concentrating on the food: car mag on the automobiles etc!

    Michael Corleone's uniform is the USMC A "Alpha" Service dress. We still wear it today, though usually without the Silver Star ribbon.

    Great video! You should do something similar for “Chinatown” (1974). Jack Nicholson has some great suits in that movie.

    What about the bow tie Tancredi wears in Il Gattopardo. Do you have an idea where I can buy one? Kind regards

    Thanks for a very educational video. I just want to know if wearing a wing collar shirt, the wings should go under or over the bow tie.

    This was fun. Have always loved Don Vito's earth tones, worn very easily. If you ever do GF Part II, I look forward to comment on young Vito's (De Niro) outfit, they're excellent.

    Michel's uniform are what we call in the Army "Pinks and Greens" there returning to the Army as a "Class B" uniform. (What you wear when your not crawling outside or at a formal dinner. Office wear in-between)

    But the most burning question in the chapter "Black Tie" wasn't even stated: Why in Godfather's name would anyone wear a tuxedo during daytime at all???

    I feel like Don Corleone just has epic style, but also is a master of sprezzatura. The slightly-too-short vest, the pre-tied bowtie...
