FRIDAY CHALLENGE JAN 31, 2014: A PRINCELY ENDEAVOUR!!!

[Holdfast]

Some superb entries in this week's contest. Some rather clashing ones too, but I applaud the ideas! Good stuff, everyone.



Friday Challenge. I was hoping to put together something interesting this morning, but I overslept and so had to get ready quickly, so went straight into zero-thought, wear-what-works mode. Meh, it's OK but very dull. Sorry, stitchy! At least there are some elephants on the square to brighten things up.

 

[Pingson]

As promised - 100% pure cashmere awesomeness. I leave the PoW on PoW to Pliny this time....


 

Spoiler: In the word of Stich: MOAR!!!

 

This is beautiful. 
I know just the tie for that ensemble:http://samanamel.se/product/true-grey-2
White shirt, white PS, black shoes.

If only the ties were 9 cm wide

It's summer here down-under wearing tropical weight wool POW.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Really nice, who made the suit?

Nice, didn't know about that. Too expensive for my taste though, you could get a similar tie bespoke from Hober for about a third the price. Even with shipping and if I would happen to get docked with import charges it would still be less than half the price. Too bad, since I would like to support local makers.....

@Cleav is looking like the guy to beat this week

Only true glen plaid I have...sea foam green suit. More of a spring/Summer suit but c'est la vie.

My major concern is the PS...it's darker navy then the tie but maybe I shouldn't have gone with a navy PS in the first place.

Still trying to figure out a way to get better pics.
