Probably one of many blue, grey and browns, but here goes.

Take two (from last week):

DETAILS
SC and pantaloons - P. Johnson via Orazio
Shirt - Ascot Chang
Tie - Loro Piana
Shoes - Alden

Well done! Very relaxed which, IMO, is not as easy as it looks.

Yesterday i.e. the last day of school. School's out for summer.

 

[sugarbutch]

There ya go, AAS.

I'll play for the sake of capitalism. This is a completely new thing for me... suede loafers, chinos - think I'll roll them one more time, linen shirt/ps, knit tie.

 

[Gerry Nelson]

No Guido in the poll?

 

[An Acute Style]

^ Maybe b/c he's wearing a suit. Check the rules.

Strange to describe a suit as "SC and pantaloons" though.

 

[An Acute Style]

^ Yeah. I think it's an Australian thing.

I wasn't wearing a suit. Grey SC and different grey pants. Oh well.

My bad. I rather liked your outfit by the way. Definitely would have gotten my vote.

Congrats to Kulata !!!

 

[EFV]

I place a vote for GW, FWIW.

N.B. I also placed a few votes in the poll. I just believe that Guido would have been a serious contender for 1st position.

 

[Claghorn]

Congratulations Kulata!

Might I suggest a purple tie challenge? And not just because I'm wearing a purple tie right now. But mostly because I'm wearing a purple tie right now.

Or tieless challenge. I know I can get a Butchy vote by wearing a spread collar without a necktie.


Another idea, pulled from someone in the comp thread, is to dress like someone with a distinct style. As in, you could recognize who the outfit is from without actually seeing the person in it.

People I could probably do this for:

Claghorn
AAS
Pliny
Kent Wang
Kulata
EFV
Roycru
justinkapur
DonC
Crusty
Cox

Hrmmmm....that's a pretty long list. It basically just become a general DTO. Which isn't as fun.

The inspiration for this idea:

Stitchy reported that upon seeing the picture, he remarked "holy ****, I'm Claghorn"

 

[kulata]

I won my first challenge!!! Time to go drink and write my vote of thanks

Thanks for the votes guys

Always wanted a purple tie challenge but I will automatically disqualify myself since I don't have a purple tie and the DTO would be fun with a twist. How about a challenge where we get our inspiration from sketches (basically DTO a sketch). I've always wondered if those @RoSaCe sketches are useful for real fits.

His blog is below with tons of sketches (suits, jackets etc etc):

Any takers?
