Blue Grey White Green Yellow Cordovan One hopes that the fit does not evoke either Ringling Brothers or Fisher-Price (though the inclusion of a red rubber nose or orange fright wig would push the color totals to seven or eight

)

Probably a bit too much, tbh, but hey, what's life without a little jazziness at times!

If it wasn't for the challenge, if I was using the same everything else, I think I'd have gone for a navy tie with some red highlights and something with vaguely similar colours for the square. Looks like the trousers need to be shortened a fraction more too, based on the full-length pic. Funny, I didn't notice that IRL.

I couldn't took a picture of myself with right angle, to show the colours and fit properly. Forgive me, but after countless tries, I gave up and decided to just display the items 1. Navy suit 2. Lavender shirt, with contrast white collar 3. Brown Tie 4. Orange/Yellow/Green (count 1) Pocket square 5. Burgundy oxfords Bonus points: no black, no white, no grey!

The 3-button thing was the reason for my mention of a back slide initially. As I mentioned at some point it was that or a 2-button 3 piece that I was not happy with the last time I wore. It recently came back from alteration and will make an appearance next week, but I was in a rush to teach class and did not have a ton of time to decide. For better or worse. In anycase though, to take a number of Acecow's suggestions

(either from here or PM) here is my entry: -Charcoal Pants (slimmer I think). - Gray 2 button coat with lower button point, more open quarters and longer lapels (though perhaps not the lapels intended). - Light blue shirt. - Burnt umber pebble grain longwings (which are a kind of wing tip). - White cotton PS. - Gold/Lavender silk knit tie.

Now if ya'll will excuse me, my lapels are needed as an extra runway for an incoming 747.

[NAMOR]

vote for the best use of 5 colors?

 

[PTWilliams]

It is 9:49 Pacific time and I'm tied for first place. God I love the smell of napalm in the morning, it smells like victory (or something like that). I'll break my own bask in glory. I really liked acridsheep's photo, looks really relaxed, great picture; he should make a print for his wife or girlfriend/parents. Spoozy looked great to me, too. And if I had SpooPoker's body and youth I'm sure could look as good as him. Almost all the outfits are really really great, and an inspiration for me to try to reach the bar set by you guys.

 

[Unregistered]

How I love a 8-way tie!

 

[Omar1223]

there is no option to vote for lilac cords

 

[k4lnamja]

This was def. a tough challenge and although I will get critiqued once I step up and play the WAYWRN Friday challenge, I think many of you did NOT do well on this challenge. I do want to say Unregistered def. looked the best out of everyone. Many of you weren't . . . colorful as Spoo suggested. Btw, great outfit Spoo but your outfit didn't meet the requirements either =/

Sorry gents

Cheers

 

[LilacCords]

I guess I can't vote for myself then....

+1 I thought I was in the conservative business dress thread

I know, Spoo

 

[Chico2007]

Poll needs to be fixed.
It looks like there are two bullets for TTO on the poll.

 

[Holdfast]

Leaving aside the likelihood of a poll re-run: spoozy, mike, acrid, Yorsch, TTO.

 

[NewYorkIslander]

Great challenge Spoo. I think everyone looked good in this, with a few particular standouts. Unregistered looks GREAT, as does TTO. PT, who at times can come off costumely for even me, looks fantastic (aside from the collar issue). PT, btw, I'm terribly jealous of the weather you appear to be having wherever you are!

The out and out winner for me though is Holdfast...please PM me info on that suit, its fan-bloody-tastic! One of your Edes?

I especially like how I antiipated this one to be a trainwreck of sorts, but it appears even the element of many colors in dress has been infiltrated by Manton's conservative business dress thread. We all looked good in my mind.

 

[Fred49]

Hey where is my entry....I call foul

 

[mktitsworth]

Still think everyone did it better than I did.

 

[porcelain monkey]

My favorite new game is to try and guess who Vox is going to vote for.

Thanks dude. I'll PM with more info, but no it's not Ede. I was going to get it MTM from them, but later that same day I found this in my size in my local Ferragamo shop, so decided to take the plunge. Fit isn't quite as good as MTM would have been, but for less than half the price, for an occasional suit like this, I can't complain!

I think I see a pattern in his voting...
