They are clearly too large. Is this just bad costumes person on the set or some homage to the era?
He looks bad. Every piece 2-3 sizes too large.
His character had money and custom made suits were a thing during that time. So what the hell?
It's said in the novel Joe is a Boston kid who sticks out like a sore thumb in Florida. Never quite learned how to dress properly down there.
shareAbout two thirds of the way through I decided they were trying to hide his huge Batman-ready body. So the clothes fell on him somewhat awkwardly. Making his head look small.
shareNot sure if intended, but looked weird that is for sure.

Back then people didn't wear right suits like we do now...
shareSry, Tight suits***
shareNot the same of course but not as bad as in the 80s (too large suits) and not as bad as affleck in this movie.
