Gangster Costume

Wanna be rough and tough? Grab that fedora or gangster hat, don that dapper pinstriped 20s outfit, add your tommy gun (replica of course) and you're ready to set your world on its rear! You might even pull off the 1920's Zoot suit, complete with double-breasted jacket and hip-hugger pants. Add a pair of wingtips or spats and you have completed your roaring twenties costume! Don't know what spats are? They are cloth or leather gaiters that cover the upper part of the shoe and ankle and are fastened underneath with a strap for the finishing touch!
