So if you knew you did, why didnt you make some changes? Always intrigued by when people admit to failing yet wear the failure. Its different from being undecided whether it works or not, but if you think its a straight F, why even wear it?
This is an excellent question. I suppose I just wanted to participate in the challenge and get input. Obviously I have plenty of streetwear-acceptable pieces, but I don't really dress in that style, so I'm not sure how to do that "look". For example, the Band of Outsiders pea coat I wore is certainly SW&D approved, but really it's just a nicely cut coat, nothing edgy about it. I wear these things with casual "MC" looks. I shall ponder what might have looked better.
I was working from home yesterday so it seemed a reasonable opportunity to have a go at this week's challenge.

Channelling my Inner Neo ...
This Mish-Mash:
All Becomes This:
Superb Nii, love the white/ off white trousers, shoes, the black watch gilet and greens of the scarf and socks. As usual you are the sock king.
Rofl at the inner Neo, you are like a well dressed Ninja, Nii.

I don't know what you're talking about. Spoo's look is killer. He's going to win!

Marketing 102: Under-promise, over-deliver. One of my personal favorites in the marketing arena, I enjoy when companies do this.
I was working from home yesterday so it seemed a reasonable opportunity to have a go at this week's challenge. Looking through the winter wardrobe I was a bit stumped, maybe I could have made a better effort with summer scarves and linen... Anyway no obscure Japanese brands (unless a Uniqlo shirt obscured from view by the sweater counts) and I refuse to go 1960's Star Trek style with my jeans tucked in my boots. Hitting the mean streets of Faversham in denim:

Epic look! I love that sweater.
I love this whole thread! As a SF noob, this is by far my favorite thread, thus far. I ought to dig out my camera and post something...
Since the pic didn't have to be from today, I'll try this. As I've posted it before, I'll happily accept disqualification, but I thought it might be interesting to hear the comments from SW&D.
Deets for those who care: RayBan P Cockpit, Barbour coat, Drakes cashmere scarf, Cilento deerskin gloves in pocket, bespoke large gingham (white/navy) shirt, Canali knit, LVC 1947, Corneliani suede belt, C&J Chiltern suede chukkas, PAM 177
