Depending on his actual skin tones, he could wear a dark blue suit (about the color of his trousers, or darker), with a pale blue or white shirt, and the blue tie. Might lose the waistcoat, or keep it, either blue or maroon. Otherwise, dark brown suit, in a hue that would complement that shirt of his, and either no waistcoat or dark brown one.
(Anyone who's read my AU knows I rank on his wardrobe -- or lack thereof -- a couple of times.)
The glasses are totally 1970s. My father wore similar frames (but with temples). They aren't too bad, really. Still, there are some modern styles he could wear. But I would not give him those stupid trendy glasses that are barely the size of his eyes. We want something that would stand up over time.
BTW, I paid attention: except for a couple of errors around and in the Kamisoral episode, the good doctor's eyes are consistently depicted as dark, and dark grey (perhaps standing in for black?) in close-up. Someone corrected them to brown in The Ghostly Grasshopper.

I agree with UW in saying that the moustache fits Dr. Nambu, making him look appropriately old for his kind of rank. Some might deem it strange, but I, too, happen to think that, apart from his clothing, he is quite attractive! And, even more after I've seen all the great makeovers!
I would definitely eliminate his gilet, and substitute his suit with other ones (with an emphasis on "ones" as a plural!) in darker colours. I also would still leave him wearing a matching shirt, and tie, due to his kind of work, and the image he has to portray, making him change in more casual clothing when most opportune ... much like LB's choice of casual, but serious, look!
But, now that I'm thinking, it's only now that I find his clothing not that up to standard! When I used to watch Gatchaman, as a child, I didn't find what he wore strange! Of course, I was just a girl, and perhaps not yet into fashion, or, perhaps, at those times, his style did not look that awkward since fashion was much the same! Or, maybe, I still thought that a jacket in a very light colour, almost similar to the white one worn by Crocket in Miami Vice, was quite cool!

ITA with such an explanation, UW! In fact, I've always kept this on my mind, but, as TJ has said, it would have been nice to give Dr. Nambu a different attire, sometimes, at least, for the different series! This is only our wishful thinking, after all!

Awesome picture. I like the suit too.
