A wealth of inspirational sketches!
It will be a hard choice to pick just one.
Anyway, let me break the ice ...

Are you sure you're in the right section of the forum for this one?

 

[Luigi_M]

Well, I'd say the section is not that important, as long as the idea is good and guys participate

Yes i am. Not the first time i start a Challenge on SW&D and i had the idea of it following discussions on the "Here and Now" thread that is on SW&D. And there are at least three drawings you can consider SW&D style.
Cheers

Yeah, I agree, I just think the OP would get more participation for this particular challenge in / from Classic Menswear.

I put links on The CM board.
Many posters follow both boards (my case anyway...)

You man of little faith ...
I see your point, but I'm sure it will come out fine nevertheless.

Fwiw I only saw this cuz clouseau posted it in a swd thread, the sub-forums don't really matter imo...

It's a Japanese book don't forget! That's part of the fun actually, it's a Japanese vision of American Trad...

@Eli Curt as many as you want, but you will have to select only one for your entry.
