Thank you, gentlemen. That was quite a surprise in such an esteemed group.

In terms of the next Challenge, I shall be packing to go on holiday and fear I should not be able to do it justice. I wonder if my friend and our excellent runner-up upr_ might consider stepping in?

Only because it is you, Mr, Knightley, and because I know your travel schedule, I will do the necessary, and run the next Challenge. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated, though I am leaning towards Academic's suggestion of "blue and green" - so far (remember that I am a creature of whimsical and quixotic tastes).

I like that idea. I had also thought about a rainwear challenge at this time of the rolling seasons.

Another vote for blue and green. Someone once commented on my Instagram that "Blue and green should not be seen without something in between." I figured I'd take a look at the source of the comment, and the individual was very poorly dressed. Which is not to say that his comment didn't have merit. He just wasn't going to be making any appeals on personal credibility on that front.

I'd be game. Congrats, Mr. Knightley, and thanks for stepping up, Crusty.

In fact you were in some measure what brought this to mind. I was thinking about a green neat (I think it was a Henry Carter but don't hold me to that) that you once wore with one of your blue jackets. Goes back a couple of years.

Cheers,

Ac
