Not to steal TTO's thunder in starting this thread, but it was decided that, in honor of the 70th anniversary of D-Day, that the Friday Challenge will be the Blue and Green challenge. The basic premise is to put together a fit that includes blue and green. Extra sprezz for military-inspired attire and/or regimental ties (especially in the challenge's color scheme). Double extra sprezz for integrating vintage military attire or vintage regimental tie into your fit. Negative sprezz for weaponry - we are at peace now! I didn't state an end time for the challenge, so my apologies if anyone wanted to participate before I set the poll. The poll expires at midnight (GMT) Tuesday. Entries below: Kulata:

NOBDNice one! No opportunity to wear anything appropriate before the end of this challenge, but my fit from a few weeks ago had an added military colour as bonus: brown. But no regimental ties or any military attire...
Claghorn:SW&D did blue and green in December this year.
PiCcolocV:From a few days ago. Maybe a week ago. Random picture checking how the jacket fit. But I thought the pose might be appropriate.
An Acute Style:Not current, but some inspiration. May try to squeeze in something tomorrow.
Tirailleur:I had a job interview for a summer teaching gig today. Nailed it. I also wore double camo and Black Watch socks. The raincoat was $15 on sale at Joe Fresh. Not shown: black watch umbrella.

EFV:Basic premise fulfilled - blue and green, and with a striped tie, though hardly a regimental.
Cleav:I also went with olive. Since I didn't find any regimental striped tie with green in it, I thought olive would be the second best choice for military inspired colour scheme. New 3 piece linen suit that I ordered for Pitti, will need a new pressing before I go though.

DonCologne:I just saw this challeneg as I only got back home from my travel last night, but I believe my only fit of the week qualiilfies, so here we go, if it is in in time.
Coxsackie:Unfourtunately not so much entrants this week so I decide too use the censored spiked-helmet pics: I get some bonus points for the jacket (yes I know it´s a orphaned suit jacket), which is bespoke from a London tailor and the former owner was first sea lord of the royal navy.
I'll help to flesh out the thread a bit with this fit from today, which was not put together for the challenge, but just happens to have blue and green in it. I'm not expecting to get many votes as I'm up against some really stellar ensembles from several other members, but at least it ups the total number to choose from.
Serengeti - Gant - Hackett - Déclic - Silk ascot from a Shanghai market stall - Alexander Olch - SuitSupply - Carmina
