Some of my choices in there but I forgot to mention my Dad. Born in 1921, died in 1982. He was a 22 year veteran of The RAF and flew Lancasters in WW2. Had a great sense of style and I have some great b&w photos of him as a younger man. I hope I absorbed some of his sense of propriety along the way.

Ianiceman, if you can I would love to see such photos. And it is wonderful to have your style icon be your father. From your description he sounded like a strong, stylish, courageous man!

Eiffel Tower.
The question is "What is your favorite male style icon" not "Who". Come on people, get with the program! Can't get much more male style icon than the tower. Coit Tower is humbled by the comparison.

I never really liked Roger Moore, probably because of his performances in the Saint. He came off a little full of himself. Much preferred Secret Agent man and Steed in the Avengers. Sean Connery and Harrison Ford were great.

Not sure how to post pictures. Do you have to host them somewhere first like tinypic?

Double click a picture in any of my posts, it will take you to image shack, click upload media, choose picture, copy forum code, paste in your post. Done.
