^Agree with Clags, and I voted similarly.

Stitches' DB suit is nice, but the overall look is a bit too "monotonal" for my tastes.

I think that Nabil, EFV and tchoy did it best this week.

@tchoy undoubtedly had the nicest suit (as he usually does - he's really got his cut dialed in), but I wasn't entirely sold on the shirt and tie combination - which was, after all, the focus of this challenge.

^^An argument could be made that lots of folks deserved more votes than they got. I respect Unbel's boldness, but keep in mind that several other entries that got similar or fewer votes got dozens of thumbs over at WAYWRN.

I think we just demonstrated why the US media are strongly discouraged from announcing election returns until all polls are closed.

The brown monochrome is something I've never actually seen done before, and what an introduction to it.

Would I try it myself? Perhaps.

Could I do it as well as Stitchy? Perhaps not.

I would have voted for tchoy, but I can't endorse the slubs. A man must have principles...

Congrats @tchoy, well done! Very interesting to see the spread in people's preferences. It seems usually there's more consensus on who the favourites are. FWIW, my votes went to EFV, Gerry and nabilmaster.
Looking forward to the next one!

We all have our preferred styles, I guess.

FWIW, you and nabilmaster got my votes as well.

No, not the moustache-variant.

Thanks for all the love, all the same.

Looking forward to the next challenge. Since Ryder cup is around the corner...........................
