It appears sir, your watch band, socks and shoes are not Herringbone. Disqualified.

You got me, sir. Guilty as charged! Lmao

Took a minute to get going but some great pics - turned out to be a very good and well-attended challenge. My humble entry …
Atlanta on Tuesday required tweed …

But then Miami on Thursday required linen …

Close up so you can see the ‘bone in my trousers! (Are we still doing phrasing?)

The challenge was timely as I just did a blog post about my herringbone jacket being influenced by Louis Jourdan and James Garner. Check it out (link in sig below) …

Is that a herringbone belt? Now that's dedication to the theme ?

Yes sir. I also wore herringbone gloves that day. Not pictured.

You obviously need some herringbone socks. I just happened to be wearing them, btw, but I don't think I'd win any prize with my non-herringbone un-ironed dressing gown, sweatshirt and cheap slippers.

The competition is heating up with only a short time left for submissions.

@An Acute Style This was a great challenge although it appears you might be a ringer.

Drop the mic...

One more submission just for fun and because An Acute Style’s tweed suit reminded me of my own. Leveling up: now!

For the Friday Challenge, my only herringbone item. An old, somewhat shabby Brooks Bros. jacket. Also, I wish I could take photos like so many others in this thread...smartphone mounted on a small tripod just isn't cutting it.

Is the first tie Berg and Berg? I think I have the same one, but I can remember where I got it from.
