Maybe I'm just looking at it with modern eyes but in the beginning, his suit and jacket look far too baggy on him.

Yes, baggy was the standard fit back in the day. I need to rewatch this one soon.

You say that but De Niro's suit is tight on him. Is it maybe some kinda class reference - those with means can afford fitted suits?

Yes, definitely. It makes him look deeply. Maybe that was the style of the time but I'm not 70 years old so I wouldn't know.

Yes, but that look was popular back in the olden days for young up and coming guys.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating.

I always reckoned it was to instill a sense of desperation as well as destitution. The suit makes it look like he's lost weight…like he's down on his luck
