Fedora Lounge submits their nomination

 

[Russell Street]

SWD?

Archie Andrews (Archie's Weird Mysteries)

 

[Russell Street]

Ah, my America-centrism shows. Tintin is indeed a master of old European classicism.

 

[Grand Potentate]

Awww yeah. Now we're talkin'.

 

[Grand Potentate]

How has no one brought up Clark Kent or Lex Luthor?

 

[Russell Street]

Okay, I clearly made a mistake in posting unlabeled images and assuming we all had some common upbringing. I'll amend this.

luke cage, because fuck you all

Perfectly matching metals, pants too tight, shirt too baggy:laugh1:

Ooh, Superfriends falls in the right century. Did the other Daily Planet staff appear there? The editor and cub reporter were sort of spiffy IIRC.

Look at that collar roll!

Neat lapels, seems the scarf matches the pocket square?

 

[Russell Street]

Yeah, Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen!

 

[Allen Smithee]

thats some runway fashion right there

 

[ETF]

Baron Greenback

 

[doghouse]

 

[Russell Street]

Baron Greenback

Oooh, low cut waistcoat and day cravat!

Grosgrain covered buttons? The barrel cuffs seem wrong but I have no complaints about her.3

How could I forget Mandrake! Some creative white tie going on here.

Outstanding formalwear. I thought that capes were coming back? The red studs are rather dashing.

 

[ETF]

Nearly forgot Mr Benn. Famous for wearing a wide range of costume, he always defaulted back to his neat stroller'n'bowler city gent uniform.

 

[Russell Street]

A pith helmet and a bowler. Amazing!

 

[Russell Street]

Carter Pewterschmidt of the Family Guy, more well-dressed than stylish

 

[Russell Street]

I don't recall this one, had to look it up.

Good trench coat, belt cavalierly tied. Is that a tab collar? Are those spats under the trouser cuff?

 

[Russell Street]

Resurrectio for Zombie Wednesday!

 

[Journeyman]

Yeah, Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen!

Is Clark Kent wearing a cravat whilst drinking an espresso???
He's also got a pocket square and a one-button cuff - I don't remember Clark Kent every looking so stylish when I read Superman as a kid.

How could I forget Mandrake! Some creative white tie going on here.

Ah, Mandrake - I remember getting a whole lot of old comics from an old book sale when I was a kid and there were a lot of Phantom and Mandrake comics amongst them. I loved both of them. Mandrake was written by Lee Falk (who also wrote the Phantom) for some years, but for some reason Mandrake always seemed to be better written than the Phantom.

Doing a n image search tells me that this was from some 1966 cartoon. I'm not sure how representative that still is.

 

[Jan Libourel]

My vote would go to Mr. Tawky Tawny of the old Captain Marvel Series. Any guy who rocks plaid jackets, pocket squares and bowties and is a f*cking tiger into the bargain has got take the prize.

Well, the striped tie does, or are we referring to the spoilered pic?

Sorry for the ambiguity - Yes, I was referring to the spoilered pic.

Brian Williams reminds me of Commander McBragg
