Here is the challenge for this week Non striped or plain shirt. Please put up your best fit with anything other than plain or striped shirts eg checks, gingham, Tattersall, plaids, houndstooth etc... 1) Jacket required 2) Ties are optional but preferred. 3) Fits should be from this week and not saved from your hard drive. 4) One entry only, if more than one please nominate your final submission. Gent, let's begin be creative and be bold. I'll let this run to Midnight Tuesday Australia eastern standard time since we've started late this week.

(....and since somone always asks, I'm having a Chicken and Mozzarella Tartine at Le Pain Quotient on Larchmont.)
Ok, I'll bite, seeing as I wore a checked shirt this week.
