- The title has multiple meanings. The Chicago mafia is referred to as The Outfit. What he creates of course are outfits. And, living his life wholeheartedly as a cutter has been an outfit he's been wearing to disguise his history
- La Fontaine says she's lived in Chicago her whole life yet she has a French accent for some unknown reason.
- The Minifon Attaché (or Minifon Hi-Fi) portable cassette recorder shown in this movie was not introduced until 1959, about three years after the December 1956 setting of "The Outfit." This device/media was known to be used by the CIA, not the FBI. The outer casing of this movie prop appears to be painted a blackish color, and the lid-emblem was replaced by one marked SVR and 550. This may be a misleading Easter egg alluding to black ops, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service "Sluzhba Vneshney Razvedki" (a 1991 spin-off of the KGB), and the FTP error 550 code for "file not found." Magnetic-wire spool recording was the go-to technology in the 50s, a German-made Minifon Mi-51 was even featured in 1954s "Dragnet," but the American-made Dictaphone Dictet cassette-tape recorder might have been perfect as the "new gizmo the Feds came up with," being first advertised in a January 1957 magazine print ad.
- Dylan O'Brien & Zoey Deutch collaborated again in Not Okay (2022).
- The title has a dual meaning. The Chicago mafia is referred to as The Outfit.
