A little while back we were all challenged to a styling contest by LA Guy, using items available from the store I work for, No Man Walks Alone. There were tons of great submissions, but as per the rules I narrowed it down to a few looks that we would then style properly and post for voting. Per @nicelynice 's insistence and the support he received, it was decided that I would have to model these clothes, which turned out to be a ton of fun. @willy cheesesteak was behind the camera and directing the shots, with a little inspiration from the guys over at @Gentry NYC
There is $100 in store credit going to the winner here, plus the chance to shame @LA Guy for his own hubris, so vote with your hearts!
Note: I made the executive decision to not model socks, sorry synth! You get my blue Uniqlo ones instead.

And finally, what you're all against, according to LA Guy:
That covers all of it, with honorable mention to Regis for his creative solution, and sood for his killer layering
