ANTHONY 'THE HAT' CORNERO T-SHIRT

A true crime gangster t-shirt available in black or white cotton.

Bootlegger. Gambler. Visionary. Outlaw.
The Anthony "The Hat" Cornero T-Shirt is a bold, stylish salute to the criminal entrepreneur who ruled the waves and the Vegas Strip before most mobsters knew which dice to throw.

In the roaring 1920s, Anthony Cornero smuggled liquor through Prohibition like a boss, earning the nickname “The Hat” thanks to his ever-present headgear and sharp sense of style. But booze was just the beginning. Cornero became a legend in the 1930s with his floating casinos — glamorous gambling ships anchored just outside U.S. jurisdiction off the California coast, offering illicit thrills to everyone from movie stars to made men.

“The law stops at the water’s edge. Out there, I’m the law.” — Anthony "The Hat" Cornero

Not content with ruling the high seas, Cornero helped transform Las Vegas from a dusty stopover to a neon empire, playing key roles in developing the Stardust Resort and other landmark projects — all while dodging cops, rivals, and fate itself.

This t-shirt captures the swagger and subversion of a man who blurred the lines between criminal and capitalist, outlaw and innovator. Whether you love Prohibition-era lore, classic mobster myths, or just respect a man who knew when to double down, this tee lets you wear a piece of true renegade history.

Forget the dons and capos — “The Hat” wore it best.
