He had unlimited resources, and was associated with people who were fashionable and members of high-society, but he himself almost always wore really ugly clothes. Was it a statement of his power, that he didn’t need to worry about his appearance, or did he just not give a shit?

    He’s fashionable for here in Medellin is what I’m telling you. I live in the city and damn near every old guy I see dresses the same as him. You can find plenty of photos of him wearing suits but most photos show him wearing the fashion of the times, a light cotton patterned short sleeve collared shirt with slacks.

    Here is a photo of him in a suit:

      I guess I still think he looks frumpy there. Maybe it’s more his overall appearance than his attire. How he wears the clothing, not just the clothing itself.
