Description

Dapper sports coat tailored for Lansky

Meyer Lansky's personally-owned and -worn custom-made navy blue sports coat. This exquisitely fitted three-button coat with notch lapel features a welt pocket, two front jetted pockets, and three buttons to end of each coat sleeve; the lining bears a handsome diamond pattern and a pair of interior chest pockets. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Meyer Lansky’s step-granddaughter Cynthia Duncan. Provenance: The Thelma Lansky Trust. Along with fellow mobsters Frank Costello, Lucky Luciano, and Anthony Carfano, Lansky proved himself a decidedly modish figurehead of the crime underworld, with this impeccable, expertly tailored sports coat reflecting Lanksy's clean sartorial style.
