I do have lots of it. Maybe Spoo can give me some pointers on how to braid it into a stylish-yet-attractive pattern for that extra bit of pop.

You probably don't want to wear that sportcoat, 4-pattern-challenge or not.

If all knew of the sport coat was my poor description I would agree with you but the pattern is tasteful it is a series of 1mmish stripes of olive and khaki and gold which sounds hideous but from any distance except close up it just look like a pale greenish grey

I like my first submission the most, but I think it didn't count because I wore a patterned vest and a solid shirt. My second submission is my second favorite. I like it more than this combo which I have mixed feelings about. I think it looks best when the pants are visible.
