We use the saying "Wear the hat; don't let the hat wear you" often around here, and this is an example of the hats (and the clothes) wearing the actors. All three of 'em look like they borrowed those clothes for a Halloween party.

Oh, I'm no expert either. But my mind knows what looks right and what doesn't, and those clothes on those guys look like a 1990s interpretation of a 1930s-40s wardrobe by someone who didn't do much homework. I know the show wasn't a "period" piece and didn't need to be "accurate", but they could at least have chosen clothes that weren't two sizes too big.meh...it doesn't look so terrible to my eye...
but then
you are the experts, not moi.

To me it was if they were trying to inject a "Miami Vice" meets the 50's vibe. Oversized suit coats over pastel t-shirts. Come on!
I think it depended on where you lived. I can't recall anyone in this part of southern California wearing those oversized clown suits until Miami Vice became a hit, and even then it was a minor blip on the radar that didn't last long. On the down side, for several years you couldn't throw a rock without hitting someone wearing "stone washed" denim, so that was the trade off....That's how fashion was in the early 90s, clothes were meant to look oversized...In the eighties it was even more pronounced. Very baggy that's how it was supposed to look.....everyday.....not just for Halloween

I met him once in a bar in Tucson. If I didn't know who he was, I'd swear I was drinking with some old Cowboy who drove an old pick up truck (that's what he was driving). Nice down to Earth guy who could drink me under the table.Lee Marvin was probably my all time favorite actor. The Wild One, Donovan's Reef, The Professionals, Cat Ballou...
