Don't know if it could be considered as check, don't hesitate to tell me if it's not (i've another check fit from monday) :










In and pleased to take part

Enjoyed some spring (!) sun today





Well done Cleav! I had to pass on using that jacket today. I normally use mine with charcoal trousers and a blue or grey cashmere tie. Thanks for the inspiration.

Did you say check mate?

Caruso SC
Kamakura
Attolini cashmere tie
Altea silk ps
VBC flannels from Luxire
Alden #8 tassels






This is my most extreme check combo ever :D
(it's from two weeks ago and also an x-post from WAYWRN so I dunno if it counts?)











Impressive entrances.

@Tom Miler my sketch was a joke, but it seems you succeeded in making it real. Amazing

Well, I was wearing a PoW SC today, I guess it qualify?







My contribution to the check game.

Note that there is a "bonus check" not fully visible, since the ps has a large checked pattern.


My own humble contribution:





Light was really bad on Friday so my pics didn't turn out very nice. However, I have some pics in the same outfit with a better camera from last fall. Not sure if i'm breaking the rules here, but I'm just following suit of some of the other gents here with X post pics.

BTW--I'm ready for spring here in Beijing!












OK, I cheated. This is from a few weeks ago. But it's essentially the same fit I wore yesterday.

I'll keep it simple:

>Wear checks (SC or Suit). However, the more checks the more you will catch attention and tastefully win, or be bashed in good SF manner!
>Submissions must be entered by Sunday midnight
>Polls will be open on Monday until midnight

Last summer's check-challenge-winner followed by some other examples:

Very good idea. Usually I'm not here to promote my works (their s a very good thread for that) but this time, it would be a shame if I didn't introduce to you this very serious candidate !
And I'll also try to be in
