Godfathe II Shirt

[Chris Dillon]

There is a shirt that Robert Deniro wears in the Godfather part II that I am dying over. It is the scene where young Vito is installing his recently "acquired" rug in his apartment. Just under 1 hour in. It is a two toned, long sleeve shirt with slash like pockets. Does anybody know what this is called and where I can find one??
Cheers!

later and see...

Is it a western shirt?

 

[Chris Dillon]

It has a hint of a western feel but not quite.

I took a screen cap:

I'd have to say, it's probably 70's style what with the huge spread collar, but if it was more pointing down words and slightly smaller, I would think it was 40's-50's. Other than that I really don't know what that kind of shirt is called.

I know it's not a popular decade around these boards, but even if it might be 1970s looking, I still think it's pretty cool. It looks like a more casual look though, with the two-tone thing going on, and the slanted, slash pockets. Not something I'd wear a tie with.

By the way, The Godfather Part II is an excellent film, and one of my favorites of all time.

Certainly thought 70s as well but thought otherwise since it was set in the 20s. He wears it through the most of the film (even with a tie!)
Regardless, I love it!
Thanks friends!

Doesn't he wear a waistcoat with it as well, hiding the pockets?

To my eye it resembles a sort of cardigan/shirt hybrid.

Just my two cents,
