If you like mob fashion, Tony Soprano is about to make an offer you can't refuse.
Twenty-four outfits worn by HBO's legendary gangster are going on the auction block at Christie's next month.
Actor James Gandolfini is putting the clothes Tony killed in - and almost got whacked while wearing - on the block for charity.
The best item in the lot for the truly bloodthirsty fan has got to be the bloody clothes Tony was wearing when he was shot in the gut by Uncle Junior in the "Members Only" episode that opened Season Six. The lot is expected to fetch $2,000 to $3,000.
Another fan favorite will be the tan cotton bathrobe with lavender trim and an embroidered "S" that Tony wore in the pilot episode while getting the morning paper. Christie's estimates its price at $1,000 to $1,500.
Proceeds from the June 25 auction will go to the Wounded Warrior Project, a group that helps severely injured soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Tony Soprano's threads alone are expected to fetch up to $36,500. Proceeds for 37 items worn by other cast characters will not benefit the veterans organization.
