I'll join in the chorus for Parker (epitome of casual elegance), followed closely by artoftime (big plus for atmospherics), bboy, and NOBD (more modern, understated approach). Honorable mention to Mike (pattern is a little bold for my taste) and Lufty (very gnatty look). General observations: bow ties pair well w/ tweed, and three-piece tweed is a great look. Etc: aeglus- fantastic tie, and really whole upper half; Threadbearer- nice casual fit, dig the pants (in an "MC does SW&D, tweed" comp, this'd have to be considered).

They all looked good but Parker's is the first tweed suit I've seen that looks like something I could actually pull off. I am inspired.

While there were a lot of good outfits, I must say that Aeglus, Spoo, and MoK had outfits that you could wear without looking affected. I'd perhaps add NOBD to the list.

MBreinin, Parker, bleachboy, and even Lufty had fantastic outfits (and I even voted for some of them). However, I feel that if I showed up to work or at a client wearing their outfits, it would look absolutely affected (unless I had Lufty's 'tude to pull 'em off).

On some level, I feel that a lot of these outfits feel "costume-y", rather than something you could wear in everyday life. My two cents, of course.

This really brought out the best in everyone. Hard to choose, and I don't have anything new to add so I won't, except to say bravo.

Do not let spoozy know about your stash of fabric closeup photographs.

Fair warning.

Also, keep in mind that you are below sea level.
