Below are the contestants who qualified:


Sugarbutch, pale green:


An Acute Style, pale green:














EliodA, orange gingham:





RDiaz, green micro-houndstooth:










CousinDonuts, purple gingham:






Claghorn, red bengal stripe:



Holdfast, tutti frutti stripes:




upr_crust, yellow check:





bourbonbasted, bleeding madras:

Thin White Duke, purple gingham:





Mr. Claymore, bright green:





coldsalmon, turquoise? gingham

The following were (unfortunately, and after some thought) disqualified, I'm sorry gents:

NOBD: Very peacockish, but looks mostly blue and off-white.
coxaca: Mostly white.
Butler: Same as NOBD, very nice "weird" shirt, but it's mostly blue.

I don't have a camera right now (and probably won't, for the forseeable future), but I will most definitely use this as an excuse to wear my green Rugby club collar shirt later this week. Oh, and I highly recommend lavender and purple in general because it's a very versatile color. Here's hoping we see some interesting stuff.

Yeah, just like all those who flat out predicted he would win the hat challenge before a picture had been posted.

How did that work out?:D

- You may use old pictures, but I encourage you to post something recent or new.

This rule kinda defeats the purpose of the thing, no? There's plenty of flexibility already in allowing any fit worn this week.

Agreed. It's a challenge. Not a "Look in your archived photos" thread.

I've got one shirt that is a little crazy. I'll give it a try.

^ Using old pics sucks all the spontaneity & fun out of the contest. New pics please!! :)

Great theme, btw. Can't decide whether to go tropical or business; weather this week would permit either, on different days...
