Why didn't Jinbe and Ace wear prisoner uniforms?


Ivankof and the others also didn't wear a uniform, but they're part of some
kind of underworld society, so they're basically running away; but Jinbe and
Ace are prisoners, so why they didn't wear uniforms?

Jimbei was officially a Shichibukai until he verbally told to Sengoku at
Marineford that he is resigning. He was imprisoned just because he didn't
follow World Government orders. So there is no reason why he should be wearing
prison uniform as he was not a convict.

As for Ace, I think
[kaine](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/8126/why-didnt-jinbe-and-
ace-wear-prisoner-uniforms/8133#comment9929_8126) must be right. It must be
like when Gol. D Rodger was not in uniform when executed. A likely minor
courtesy afforded those waiting execution could be the right to wear their own
clothes for their final hours.
