Is that a real life thing, that it's considered undignified for a Boss to wear shorts? If so, why? | | | | Re: "A Don Doesn't Wear Shorts."

Then he wore them again on that party and on some other occasions too IIRC. Random fact.  | | | | Re: "A Don Doesn't Wear Shorts."

However track suits? No problem lol Just when I thought I was out they pull me back in... | | | | Re: "A Don Doesn't Wear Shorts."

Yeah there was a commision meeting in the 50s to decide whether shorts were don material or not  . Wilson??? | | | | Re: "A Don Doesn't Wear Shorts."

The writers then decided to include that fact into the show via that scene. "I die outside; I die in jail. It don't matter to me," -John Franzese | | | | Re: "A Don Doesn't Wear Shorts."

Tony was flouting the rules and could have been whacked for disrespecting the tradition. | | | | Re: "A Don Doesn't Wear Shorts."
