FWIW, I also have a closet full of suits, and a growing collection of "proper" shoes.

Believe me when I finally do have an afternoon to swing by Mortar pics will be posted of the results.

My two cents: a truly stylish bloke can dress up and dress down. How often do you see a big shot look OK in his BB suit (perhaps thanks to a discerning sales assistant) and then look ridiculous in his baggy cut off Dockers at the company picnic or look like a square in the same pinstripe suit sans tie at the post meeting drinks session. Some people post WAYWRN outfits dressed to the nines to wash the car. But a truly well rounded stylish guy ought to be able to nail a dressed up weekday business suit and equally a dressed down casual weekend outfit. TC why not wait till you get home on Friday, change out of your usual classy blazer/SC and take a pic of your Friday night drinks with the missus or fellas at the local bar outfit?

And all that have not wool in the tailors, and in the shops, of all that stacks over Allen Edmonds in the offices, and of any living thing which is in the financial district, they shall be an abomination unto you. www.godhatesjeans.com

I think Friday night is bingo for TC if I remember correctly.

Well, he goes straight to the early bird seating at Ruby Tuesday's, and then he's off to bingo.

I volunteer to start one. There will be a catch, though. "SW&D does MC"

Easy peasy. We're guaranteed to win, because only our votes count!

I've successfully squeezed into my 3-yr-old-2-size-down pair of Nudies for this ****.. Even ripped out the fugly orange threads for MC approval.

Bring it on guyz!

I cannot wait to see the results of this thread and the results of the inevitable response threak. Maybe sw+d should poast in mc's waywt for the rest of the week for inspiration

edit: if that little ****** had ever made our goddamn Sergeant Pepper picture, someone could just post that instead... I don't know if aeglus should be allowed to compete.

Good idea, if I have the occasion to meet the requirements I will try to snap a pic.

Glad I'm not the only one who got thrown by the word "casual" challenge. But it was good, and that's why this is different.

Edit: Doc, fair isle sweaters can also be worn "casual." As in, with jeans. Just sayin'.

But you'd be dead sexy if you did.

Exactly the reason I chose the challenge. The others have been really good challenges, and have brought a lot of great looks, but I think this is more of a "challenge" in the true sense of the word. I have a feeling some might sidestep it...but, DON'T! DO EEEET!

Precisely the reason I gave the option to take the picture at any time. Just POAST.

I have a closet full of Japanese jean pants, and other items of garments made by that exotic yet industrious people. - B
