Color contest: gray. Sponsored by Kent Wang

[Vintage Gent]

My first attempt. Oxford gray Chan 3-piece. Blue, gray and pink Chan shirt. Silver gray Sam Hober tie. Generic silk pocket square with gray edging. Gray homburg.

Shirt's kind of hard to make out. Here's the shirt/tie combo with another suit.

Need close-up of the vest!

The homburg is next-level $#!+.

Next time I wear the suit, a close-up you shall have, although it's more riverboat gambler stuff.

I intend to wear a little of that tomorrow, and post it in this thread.

oh man i wish i could participate in this with yesterday's grey suit outfit but the picture is so blurry you can't even see the suit

VG, is the homburg vintage? What can you tell us about it? A homburg is on my short list (likely black), although next up is (another) summer straw.

Harris - love the combination in the first pic and the paisley tie in the last pic is an absolute beauty.

It's not vintage, although the Borsalino in my second picture is. The homburg was made (I think) by Biltmore for Miller Hats in Houston.

A Harris, that last DB is killer. Fits so well it makes me take edmorel's shilling for RTW more seriously.

Come over to the dark side.

Kinda bizarre with the striping being horizontal ( Brings to mind the MASH episode where the Col. has a suit made).

That said, I like it-but my tastes are rather eclectic.
