The design is based on the shirt worn by the character Jimmy (Robert De Niro) in the movie "Good Fellas."

This movie is a mafia movie directed by Martin Scorsese, and most of the people in the organization are of Italian descent. Scorsese makes the setting clear by having all the Italian characters wear long point collar shirts.

De Niro, who plays Jimmy, is of Irish descent rather than Italian, so he does not wear a shirt with a long point collar.

The shirts are consistently classic with slightly curved collar patterns, which strongly influences the overall story.

Jimmy, a friend of the main character Henry, was also a member of the New York Mafia. He is a smart, tough guy who is reliable among his friends.

However, in the story, he is not of Italian descent, so he cannot become mainstream. The boss Polly and his friends Henry and Tommy are all of Italian descent, so although the fabric and color are different, the collar style is the same (a special long point collar). .

Director Scorsese is truly impressive, how he expresses the roles in the story through costumes in this way.

In Dry Bones, the shape of this shirt is reproduced when it is worn by Jimmy.

The front placket is supposed to extend all the way to the bottom, but we intentionally made it shorter to give it a vintage feel.

Also, one thing we couldn't see in the movie was whether the suit had pockets or not. We decided to include pockets for the wearer's convenience.

Also, while most of the characters symbolically wear double cuffs, De Niro's shirts are consistently single cuffed. This was probably the director's preference, so he stuck to the single cuffs.

The yarn-dyed dobby weave used this time was something I discovered in dead stock. Dobby weave fabric itself is rare, and it is unique in that it is available in three colors, so it was like a "hidden weapon" material that I had been putting aside for a while.

Naturally, the buttons are made of high-quality natural Takase shell. The mysterious shine of the natural Takase shell, combined with the luster of the fabric, creates a sense of luxury reminiscent of the Italian Mafia.

The title of the movie, "Goodfellas," is a mafia slang term meaning "comrades within the same organization."

However, the fact that the collar type actually clearly divided the members' affiliations adds even more depth to the film.
