His tailoring is impeccable. This is always the key.
Great clothes and a great actor. Buscemi brings something special to all of his roles (even the most lowly ones he has taken occasionally in the past).
There's some first rate costumes in Once Upon A Time In America, too. James Woods in particular carries the look well.

^ I've not seen that - but I suspect you are pulling my leg.......?
^No, the wardrobe in that film is a superb homage to the 1920s gangster look.
If you haven't seen it, you've missed out on a wondefully atmospheric musical.
Bad news tonight was the last episode of Series 3 and series 4 is not till next September.
Great 20s/30s wardrobes in Once Upon a Time in America as well.
Someone on here noted the strong resemblance many Fedora Lounge posters had to Steve Buscemi. I took that to mean Steve Buscemi when he had facial hair.
I watched a couple of episodes of season one. The only thing I liked was that Scottish actress. Clothing was spoiled for me by Buscemi's face.
Seemed like the costume designer was trying to accomplish the most sensational choices cheap hoods would wear in the twenties. Something like if they did a film on fashion blog wars and the FNB character wore a pink cotton jacket every day.
Lots of luck wearing that stuff on a regular basis today when people in the fashion capital of the world panic over a brightly colored tie. Sometimes you want to stand out and sometimes you want to be hidden.
Steve Buscemi was a New York firefighter, and after September Eleven just as his career was taking off, went back to work at his old station to replace the crew that were lost at the twin Towers. I am thinking the suits from four to six would be worth having made if I can locate the material. Natural shoulders and undarted naturally.
The wardrobe team have quite a lot of articles and videos out on the web about their work, they're pretty bona fide and it's a bit cheap just to make assumptions on them, I'd go look at how they work, it's very interesting and most of the accessories they used were from the period, the cloths were taken from cloth books of the time and reproduced. A lot of research and hardwork went into this show.

What I said was why make assumptions, when you can find out the truth. And then have an opinion on that.
