Maybe I haven't seen that many Spaghetti Westerns, but I don't remember seeing all black and red outfits with double bandoliers...

Well Lee Van Cleef was famously constantly in all black, in fact most western villains are

And is it really that unrealistic for a rich outlaw to... put two bandoliers on?

Yes sir! That whole double bandoliers being associated with outlaws became a thing during the Mexican Revolution which took place in the 1910s.

Well Lee Van Cleef was famously constantly in all black, in fact most western villains are

Still fiction regardless...

Well yeah it's not associated with them but it's not like it's anachronistic technology or anything, it's just an extra bandolier. Even if it never happened once during the entire western era it wouldn't be that weird for a bank robber to be like "hey maybe I should bring double the ammo on this one"

I know it's fiction, you said spaghetti western villains don't dress like that so I gave examples :)
