Probably my favourite colour for a jacket, even more so than navy really. I'll keep the rules as simple as possible: 1. Wear a green jacket/SC, doesn't matter if it's a sport coat or as part of a suit. 2. Wear it this week. 3. Post it before Sunday (I won't be home before that).

The contestants:
Hey gents, my first post in a Friday challenge. I hang out mostly in the MC Casual thread, hope it's an acceptable entry to have a fit with denim. If not, at least you got some nice pictures of a sunny, clear winter morning! A thick green jacket and cashmere sweater felt perfect for today.

Finally an opportunity to wear some green socks!
Agreed. I am addicted to green. I only wish my MTM Moon tweed had arrived in time for this, but there are plenty of excellent entries already in the field. In the meantime, this will have to do:
Green Corduroy.

Those are some great inspiration pics. Sadly, my green jacket is gone.

The first guy is poorly fitted and worse dressed, as always on that blogger.

His trouser is specially an example of poor fitting one.

How can the people follow such person as an example if for tailors and the industry( the fews who know him, as he is nothing) is just an habitual joke?

On my iPad it looks grey, with a green over check. I'd say it's allowed if the base colour is green.

The upclose picture washed it out a bit. There is a better pic. its blue with green and red overchecks.
