FRIDAY CHALLENGE 07/06/13 - Butler's Summer-Suit Challenge

[Caustic Man]

The jokes are great

Remember the Asterix and Obelix cartoon? "Caesar had a lot of Gaul, but he didn't have it all."

Quote:
I don't think I ever saw the cartoon. I did see one of the animated movies (The 12 Tasks one) but wasn't terribly impressed with it overall, though the herculean task where he has to overcome an IRS/Kafkaesque bureaucracy in order to complete a simple form cracked me up. The comics were much sharper overall though; I didn't get some of the jokes until I was a teenager, and some of the more subtle gags not until even later.

lol i had always wondered about what his UN meant. thanks, guys!

 

[MrDaniels]

I thought is was Esperanto for "He who looks like a million bucks by spending fifty bucks."

 

[Orgetorix]

Thanks, all!

[MrDaniels]

If you, or Butler , or the both of you would like to choose the theme I, and I can't believe I'm saying this, could be prevailed upon to run the thread again.
All I ask is that you participate by posting a fit on the Friday.
-TTO

Very late - i apologize - as asked from TTO - a posting of a fit on Friday - not the challenge Friday of course.

 

[MrDaniels]

That's pretty amazing...better late than never!

 

[sugarbutch]

I think that might have snagged the win...

 

[SHS]

I am probably wrong according to some sartorial tradition, but I don't like the colour of the waistcoat with the colour of the suit.

 

[FlyingMonkey]

Would have been my winner.

 

[in stitches]

would have got a voat from me.

 

[Orgetorix]

Whoo...I'm glad VleV didn't get that one in on time!

What's not to like?

However, as much as I love the ensemble itself, there's something that bothers me about that shoulder fit - specially given how immaculately VLeV's stuff usually fits. Did you specifically ask for lower armholes for cooler wear?

Not really - this was done by a another tailor that usual. He used more shoulder padding.
