Trad contest finalists

[Manton]

For those interested, some modest insight into how I came to my conclusions can be found here:

I think untilted has been slighted. His red-blazered get-up deserves consideration among those who have not yet voted. Crazyquick's plaid-panted entry also deserves strong consideration.

Brownshoe:

I hope he does not think it unfair that I choose perhaps his least stereotypically trad entry. Yet I think it is actually easier in many ways to haul out uber-trad elements. It's much harder to do trad within the confines of conservative business dress and still make it look trad.

No crying in baseball!

Thanks Manton, and everyone. I've lurked here for years, but never felt I had anything worthwhile to add to the conversation--I'm an ignoramous (idiota?) when it comes to tailoring and the styles celebrated here, but I find it all fascinating. It's fun to finally be able to participate in some way.

Can I submit a write-in vote for Parker?

Wow! I'm glad to have even been considered as a contender. There were so many nice truly Trad entries and I think Manton did a great job choosing the finalists. So, good work Untilted and good luck to everyone up there.

I would gladly cook it, if it is hip, for downtown.

Best of luck to all.

Don't you think Styleforum should have its own Trad Forum ???

That would be Southern Trad.

Mayonnaise, on shad?? Never!! You broil shad, not boil it!

Congratulations to AlanC, the tradliest of them all. Your square is in the mail.

Thanks to all the other finalists and contestants, and thank you to Manton for judging. I'd like to sponsor some other contests in the future. Any suggestions?
