Interesting - just read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moiré_pattern

Well I don't know for sure whether the braces I was wearing have that pattern (pretty sure they don't) so I shall remove my entry and reserve the right to resubmit pending further investigation. [COLOR=FF00AA]Or I'll just drink enough at tonight's meetup [/COLOR]that everything looks moire.


Pics or it never happened.

You knpw, I can't decide whether I want to go for subtle touches of formal wear in a "normal" fit, or whether I want to go for maximal train wreck for this challenge (though I'm leaning towards train wreck - I've not gone too far off my trolley in a while - maybe it's time . . . :nodding: ).

Prediction: upr_crust's trainwreck wins due to bonus points.

Full Disclosure-Although I used to work for a railroad I did not cause this. It was caused by an earthquake.

My proper entry - white silk pocket square, silver & black enamel cufflinks, black silk socks . . .



My "train wreck" entry - all of the above, with a silk waistcoat and patent leather shoes . . .

Heading out to some rock bars later on in the evening. A full on black tie getup would be slightly out of place, so I just went with a black single button peak lapel velvet jacket. Not CM compatibel at all I'm afraid.
