You have to be rich and famous to pull off any of those looks.  And even then, its questionable!

No clothing could ever make you look as badass as Willem Dafoe.

I like all of them. But the collars look a bit constricting.

IIRC the Victorian era was all about constriction.

But I digress.

I've always liked the long coat look and those two guys with the long overcoats are the ones I'd prefer.

JH is probably right - I suspect I'd need to be rich to pull that look off, but that might not stop me from trying. Being a geek has never really scared me.

Is that actually Willem Dafoe on the right? Looks like him.

There is a bonus feature on Platoon of the making of the movie. They went through a simulated infantry training in the Phillipines. Oliver Stone wrote the script based on his experience in vietnam. He pushed the actors into a situation where they become like the characters. Anyway, Dafoe is very relaxed and likeable in this movie. He is totally at ease in front of the camera. There is no sign of the 'angry man', he actually smiles a lot.
