I imagine that in decades past, when it seemed odd for a woman to get into big trouble, all the men hustled to keep their families afloat. I also imagine all the men were named “Bugsy,” and said stuff like, “Mint jelly isn’t the only thing going on the lamb tonight, darlin’. You’ll have make do without me for a while, ya see?” Yes, they all talk like James Cagney in my head. So what? It just makes it more fun…ya see?

I recently did a post featuring vintage mugshots of bad girls, and it seemed to interest readers. It got a lot of you talking about what kind of trouble you may or may not have been in with the law. It also got a lot of you talking about how good those ladies looked despite having just been arrested. These guys are no different, somehow, they all have amazing hair despite their bad luck.

Here are 14 mugshots of some very dapper men who were not lucky enough to avoid the coppers. 




Check out the guy in the last picture (above) with the face scar…brutal.

Don’t you kind of wish men still dressed like this? I do.
