I think Crust should do this look more often.

Ironically enough, most everything worn for this Friday challenge was not bought with sleaziness in mind. Had I buttoned up my shirt, tied my tie, worn regular glasses, and traded the lavender socks for black, the fit would have been well within the limits of tasteful. It's interesting what a little male decolletage and a pair of now-vintage Ray Bans (I won them in a contest sponsored by Esquire Magazine some 30+ years ago) can do to cheapen an outfit.

That shirt is great, Stanley. Any pics of it close up or on a hanger?

Here it is:

My dad was the original purchaser, and he would have acquired it in the 80s or 90s -- more likely the 80s. He had a bunch of these that, along with white pants, were his work uniform at the time. He was a musician/entertainer professionally from about 1972-1992 (and as a hobby since). A bunch of the shirts were acquired in the Virgin Islands in the early 80s, but this one is different and so I'm not really sure what its origin is, other than the tag saying India, but he's never been there.

Congratz to the challengers. Do you think it's really worth lasting the poll for one week again? The challenge already lasted two weeks, now the poll one week? Maybe making it stop tomorrow as usual will be enough?

 

[Rais]

Sorry, new around these parts. Not acquainted to how you usually run challenges on this side.
It looks pretty even between SVB and Upr_Crust. Might give it another day or so to see if we find a definitive winner?

 

[StanleyVanBuren]

I will accept the results if I win

Now that's sleazy!
