Did early yakuza wear geta?

I'm painting a tiny figurine of some random character from feudal Japan. I'm also making a conversion to add a tiny pair of geta to his feet. I'd also like to paint some horimono on his chest & legs, but I'd like to verify with those who are better versed than myself: is this plausible? I see no reason why not, but please, tell what you think...

Of course, it's plausible considering the fact that in feudal times, not only yakuza but everyone wore geta or zori with kimono.

I thought as much, but wanted to insure against someone down the road laughing at the idea. It wouldn't have been the first time I overlooked some small detail of Japanese history & culture. Thanks for the affirmation, Hitoban!
