Always good to do this sort of thing for a little fun from time to time...
Mine's Monty Clift from '48 wearing what was Trad back then.
Grey flannel flat-fronts sans belt. White Poplin short-collared (non-BD) shirt.
Undarted 2 button Tweed. Could be Brooks - Lots of his stuff was back then. Either that or an NYC Swedish tailor he used A LOT. Check the 40's shoulders!
All a part of the story.

Well it was the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland but now it's DeNiro in "The Untouchables" as Al Capone. I have been compared to him often whe I wear a double breated chalk stripe as a dapper compliment as 30s gangsters are extremely popular these days as an image. I have been less flatteringly referred to as a gangstar by internet sissies too and this "baseball bat banquet scene" is a reminder to them not to get too crazy.

Spock, from an episode in which Kirk and he travel back to the 1960s and find a human from the future named Gary 7. Gary has a swinging bachelor pad complete with computer to save the human race.
EDIT: Had the plot backwards. Corrected now.

Mine is the late, great Kenny Everett dressed as a Hollywood starlet called Cupid Stunt...which is as you will all no doubt guess is a spoonerism...

It's a whale from a whale motif tie. Not much to it.
