Wear Tony Sopranos Clothes, Earn Respect

Thanks to one of my colleagues at work, I got to learn that some of the original clothes that’s been used in the award-winning HBO series Sopranos are now being auctioned off over at Christie’s - the art auctions for rich people. Let’s see how some of these could be used in everyday life:

Morning Gruff Outfit

The outfit consists of a blue, red, and yellow striped robe by Guy Laroche, a white tank top, light blue striped boxer shorts, and a pair of leather Bostonian scuffs.

If there’s one thing I’d not wear, it’d be the boxer shorts. Apart from that, I would’ve think this outfit would’ve been useful especially for morning events, such as taking the bus/train to work. Maybe just stroll down to the local to get the daily newspaper, then muse at some suspicious looking parked cars before getting back inside.

Also, I’d wear this when viewing Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy. Or reading the book. Or listening to the original radio show.

Estimate: $1,000 - $1,500

The Kidnergarten Outfit

The costume consists of a white tank top by Jockey, a black and beige short sleeve polo shirt by George Foreman, and black pants by Zanella.

Oh man. This, would be soooo awesome if it’d been worn by an adult working at a kindergarten. So when parents would know that they’ve come to the right place if they’d want to drop off their kid, call in sick, then go home and have steaming hot sex all day.

And a slaughter with a developed taste for 1930s-clothes should at least check their wallets for cash. If I’d seen a guy wearing this while wielding a hacksaw, I would demand his autograph, for being such a man that’d it deserve nothing but the World’s notice.

Estimate: $2,000 - $3,000

Be Someone Else Outfit

The costume consists of a blue Oxford shirt by Brooks Brothers, a white V-neck Jockey t-shirt, a pair of charcoal gray Brooks Brothers pants, a navy wool blazer by King’s Ridge, and a navy, light blue, and yellow Polo tie.

If there’s one person I’d rather be than myself, it’s Kevin Finnerty. It’s one of those people you just can’t help yourself from loving and hating at the same time. He’s a bit of a mental midget when it all boils down, but he’s genuinely okay on a regular day.

Some workplaces have Casual Fridays, but nobody ever thought about dressing up as Kevin Finnerty. I’d like to do that once in a while, just be someone else and get followed around by a strange beacon and helicopter.

Estimate: $2,000 - $3,000

If you’re interested in the other Sopranos-apparels that’s being auctioned off, head over to Christie’s and check ‘em out. There’s also the gym-suit that James Gandolfini used while barbecuing in earlier seasons of the show. How awesome is that?
