Had this been next week, I'd be wearing my new BOO/Caruso navy windowpane suit -- Like Braddock's jacket, but a full suit. As it is, this last minute substitution for what I was planning to wear today will have to do.

This week guys. I think that's assumed now.

Gmmcl, that's a damn fine last minute adjustment.

Hmmmm.... Might almost be in the mood to play.

But what to wear? Choices, choices.

What I'm wearing now:

400


Or:

400


Or, should I defy groupthink altogether?

400


When is the latest I can post a photo?

Glen plaid or windowpane works. Windowpane might be too restrictive for many wardrobes.


Would have been cool if you included check jackets that have a windowpane over check.

Are they excluded? I know what you're thinking and I think you could rock a guncheck with a red windowpane overcheck, but the windowpane's lack of prominence would count against it. Obviously it's Claghorn's challenge and his rules, though.

Basically, anything where a grid is the dominant pattern is fine by me. Stitchy, I made this challenge after reading that you'd have two checked jackets in your first five odd jackets.

Ties, squares , shirts, socks, and thongs don't count.

Kidding.

Thongs always count.

I do have two checked jackets, I'm just not sure either of them have a windowpane that would qualify. Certainly not dominant enough that I think would garner a win, in which case, what's the point right?

I play to be a part of the field rather than to win. Then again, that's probably why I never win.
