That would be nice! But all the outfit would need to be thrifted or just one item?


i would think that at the least the suit/SC and pants as well as the tie need to be. shoes and shirt can be left out. if its just a tie or shoes something its not really saying much. imho

I was thinking a "Wear the oldest suit that is still in your closet" contest. But you can do anything with the accessories.

Interesting. Probably more of a challenge for some, though. I think my oldest suit may be about 2 years old at this point.

well, at least maybe he can pick the challenge idea, and someone else can do the leg work with setting up the thread and poll.
im down for that.

For the love of God, YES.


I second the votes on each of the above.

I would volunteer to run the challenge again but it's going to be a hellish week at work.

I know this isn't the right place to ask, but there are so many great DB looks in here I have to.

I've always had trouble getting over the idea that tall slim guys like me look dorky in DB suits, and so I only own a single DB jacket (Navy blazer, heavy wool).

Am I on the right track steering clear, or is this something a 6'3" 175lb 40L jacket 15-15 1/2 collar could potentially experiment with?
