Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of textured solids as well. I just chose to go non-texture for this specific challenge.
I, too, am a fan of the textured solids, especially for the SCs. I have that one brown hopsack SC, and I'm fiending for one in blue now.

I wasn't planning on submitting this as my offering, but the drenching rains today prohibited the alternative, so:

See, Tirailleur, that essentialism will always get you into trouble.

Birdseye is quite possibly my favourite suiting. Incredibly versatile, and not boring - which some solids sometimes are. :nodding:

That tie, the knot and the dimple are damn near perfect in my opinion. Clearly my favourite outfit so far. Stitches, RD, ping and ian will get my vote, too if there's multiple choice again.
