Gents, the challenge is straightforward. Just wear a patterned suit - anything goes including and not limited to glenplaid, box checks, windowpanes, pinstripes or chalkstripes.
Shirt, ties and shoes are a must but pocket squares are optional.

Outfits have to be worn in the week ending Friday 17 October and entries will close on Saturday 18 October midnight AEST (Aussie time). Voting will end on Monday 20 October.

Some inspiration:





Looking forward to seeing your entries!


The Entries


Today "in like Flynn"! As Gerry said to me this morning. Great challenge mate

Today...





Deets: Salvatore Ferragamo Glen Plaid flannel DB; blue CT shirt; purple wool / silk Holland & Sherry tie; white PS; + (unseen) purple Mazarin socks and Paolo Scafora oxblood whole cuts. Colours most accurate in first pic. Fit best shown in the last. I need a haircut.


From this week...before it got shipped away.


If it's patterned suits you want, it's patterned suits you get . . .



Looking good gents. Here is my entry.









Nice entries so far, gents. I don't do loud patterned suits, so here's a rather subdued one from earlier this week. Shoes didn't get much love on WAYWRN, but oh well...

I like this one...

especially striped suits...

they are under-appreciated in the sartoriasphere.
