This glamour boy has probably seen a lot of light on this thread, but I'll post these here anyway:
This style looks very British to me.

Not period pics, but from a current television series, Instinct. The star is Alan Cumming:

Beautiful lapels. Such shape is impossible to find nowadays and it is really difficult to get tailors understand it!

Rope had a great wardrobe. Late 40's tailoring at its finest:

And, adding to his uber-Americanism, there appear to be white bucks on his feet.

Great example of how to wear your clothes and not have them wear you (a risk that goes up with a double-breasted suit - but not for this guy).

Agreed with what Fading Fast said, this photo is a prime example of quality 1940's tailoring. Too many 40's examples I see on the internet depict suits that are too flat, blocky, don't flatter the wearer's body... this gentleman's suit is timeless and fits him well.Fashionable young man in a hurry, 1940’s suit double breasted pants jacket
I'm glad this thread exists, so I can demonstrate to people that golden era tailoring was no joke.

I'd agree with you, if the average guy knew how to recognise good tailoring.
In this era where media saturate our minds with an ideal of minimal, skin-tight and form fitting clothes, people are absolutely clueless about the details that convey good tailoring or bad tailoring.
For example, they would choose a skinny suit with a gigantic collar gap instead of that suit.

Jimmy Stewart.
Interesting, Jimmy appears to be wearing a casual pair of trousers with a chunky 'jeans' style side seam. The turn ups are also simply rolled up rather than tailored.
