Check out the images above. No, these photos aren't from style blogs, nor are they of noble men from last century. These vintage portraits are actually mugshots of Australian criminals in the 1920s. The lapels, layers, and pomade coifs are KILLING (literally? Hmm...) IT. Never would have guessed we'd get fashion inspiration from convicts. Check out more of these photos at Etsy.
