A simple fit-pic contest for the fun of it. No themes on this one other than "cheap." The rules: - Fit/photo must be taken at some point during the challenge. Old photos/fits may not be used. - Both CM and SW&D are fair game. - 80% of fit should be thrifted/gifted/traded/discount. Loose definition here, but well below retail is the goal. - Feel free to explain how much was paid, provenance, tailoring completed, etc. Back stories on vintage/antique pieces are interesting! The prize: Hand-rolled, cotton pocket square made by me here in Austria. I'll cover shipping worldwide, the winner only needs to provide an address. I'll also encourage the winner to run the next contest with a (small) prize such as a tie.
Entries accepted until 8 October 2015, voting will run 9-11 October. Inspiration:
