Gentlemen, you are cordially invited to take part in our next FRIDAY CHALLENGE- Little bit of BROWN & a little bit of BLUE, IT'S UP TO YOU!! Please take free license to incorporate blue and brown into your fit, as long as you can incorporate both, to whatever degree, you are good to go. We shall then let the masses decide! Suit, SC, odd jacket, tie preferred. Any combination of blue and brown, and shades therein, are welcome. It is anticipated that the changing seasons, wherever you are in the world, can be accommodated here.
Fits should be from week beginning 5th October 2014. Your first fit pic will be taken as your entry, unless notified otherwise. Submissions posted by 1800hrs GMT Saturday 11th October 2014 will make the poll. All submissions are to have been worn week beginning 5th October 2014. The poll will go up directly on Saturday evening GMT and close on Monday 13th October 2014. For the summary post, I will use only your first or preferred offering. Gentlemen, good luck! _______________________________________________________________ Gentlemen, many thanks for a strong turnout. Much appreciated. Here are your Little bit of BROWN & a little bit of BLUE, IT'S UP TO YOU participants. it is a multi vote concluding midnight Monday GMT 13th October 2014. Good luck! ________________________________________________________________
My entry:
Since I almost exclusively wear grey, brown and blue I thought I would give this one a go.I hope you will excuse the tired expression. Five weeks with litlle or no sleep does that to you
and the shoes...
Despite being berated by the gents at the Good Taste Thread over my trousers, I think I'll give this one a spin...
Since it was hot today, I figured I would break out the brown linen for the last time...Especially in honor of the brown / blue challenge...
Deets: Panta Shantung x Rubi Square x Inglese x Formosa
Brown and blue combos seems like an invitation for claghorn to bring a gun to a knife fight. Unsurprisingly it's still ridiculously hot here so I'm rocking multiple linen blends:
SF family: Henry Carter Howard Yount Canali x Spoo
Today, still dodging the rain...
Maiden voyage for the shirt, thanks to @C&A for the cloth.
This is a good challenge but not sure how well this is up to it... Some great stuff already.
I present, my first contribution ever to the friday challenge.
'Afternoon gents.
Wore something that qualifies for the challenge this week (brown/blue is a favourite combination) - so why not:
Bringing the California tuxedo
Today. Color in the full shot is atrocious, but pretty accurate in the unspoilered one.
Pretty nice outfit old chapsMy entry for the challenge
I think I like this one better for my official entry, though it's a little more generic.
Cat butt outtake:
Does this count?
Can I still play?
This will be the official entry, full shots will come in later tonight when I'm home and download the photos from my camera. Apologies for the inconvenience, Cleav!
Here is blue and brown for the week. Have a good weekend. Sean

This one is from earlier this week. For your information, it is the winning entry.
My entry for this week's challenge . . . .
Okay, of the three possibilities I have to choose from this week, I am going for this combination from Monday, largely because 1. it's not a suit; and 2. I think it gets away with breaking some rules in a good way.[COLOR=A74345]

Details: tan Ring Jacket; blue CT shirt; anonymous navy silk knit; vintage brown ancient madder PS; dark brown PRL chinos w. Uniqlo woven belt; unseen Stemar chestnut V-tips.
I'm new to this whole "classic menswear" thing but I thought I could at least try for a participation ribbon.

People brought some great fits to this Friday Challenge. Hard to say whether this or the green jacket challenge has been the highlight of early autumn. I'll play too, though Cleav did this look better:
Upper-pic is from last year, but shows off the outfit in better lighting, wore the same outfit again for this challenge.
