The extremely oversized shoulder and chest of 1940s jackets can look cool in its own right but is often more costumey looking than flattering.
I agree that some look costumey, like this Hercules with extremely wide shoulder, short body and narrow waist.
Others from the same era, also short and v shaped, look more natural.
The main difference imo between modern perfectos and vintage ones is not the v shape, it's the body length.
These two (late 40s, mid 50s) look a lot more modern for instance, because of their longer body length.
