Title:
Meyer Lansky Silk Suit Swatch – From the Mobster’s Custom Designer Suit, Used in The Mob Card Series, Ex. Mob Experience Museum, Encapsulated by CAG

Description:
A remarkable and stylishly preserved artifact from the wardrobe of one of organized crime’s most legendary figures—this 1.125" x 1" swatch of fine silk fabric was cut from a custom designer suit worn by Meyer Lansky, the financial architect behind America’s modern Mafia. The swatch is housed in a CAG (Collectibles Authentication Guaranty) encapsulation holder measuring 2.375" x 3.375", labeled with full identification and origin. This particular piece was sourced from the Mob Experience Museum and was also used in Historic Autographs’ premium trading card series, The Mob.

The swatch features a dark brown tone with subtle woven patterning, representative of Lansky’s quiet but commanding sense of style—a wardrobe befitting a man who stayed largely behind the scenes while pulling the strings of an empire.

Historical Context:
Meyer Lansky (1902–1983), widely known as the "Mob’s Accountant," played a central role in the evolution of organized crime in the United States. Alongside Charles “Lucky” Luciano, he helped engineer the National Crime Syndicate, a powerful criminal confederation that streamlined the operations of Mafia families across the country.

Lansky’s influence extended into Cuba, Las Vegas, and international money laundering networks, all while maintaining a reserved public profile. His fashion choices reflected this balance of authority and discretion—tailored suits with understated elegance. This silk suit swatch, preserved from one of Lansky’s personal garments, captures a fragment of that legacy.
