Dammit. I hoped to spring the "Vote for Me" SF Thread for this Contest.

Imma be up there soon. A little SF competition never hurt...

I do really admire the effort put into a lot of these shots - but any jerk can throw on a skinny tie, grab a cigarette and a scotch.

Details make the difference! Thin lapels, men, thin lapels!

I could see Jason doing this competition...

Some of the women put a lot of effort into their outfit and makeup, sometimes even with nice settings too.

The men seem to be quite sub-par on the whole...just a few decent ones.

Even though this is a BR ad campaign, I think anything that gets the masses thinking about style is good.

Edit - OK I voted for you. But I know I've seen you in more Mad Men type outfits than what you posted. I thought a darker outfit would fare better. Then I looked at some of the shots before and after and I can't figure out what these people are thinking. Half of them aren't even in a tie or jacket (Don draper doesn't leave the house without one), some don't even show the outfit they are wearing and some are taken from a mile away. You have to win this thing for sure. I haven't seen any competition for you at all.

I've seen an ad for the contest at a local BR, so anyone in Canada (or at least, Toronto) would be able to enter if they're interested.

A lot of the photos on there are just people wearing ill-fitting suits or random head shots. Your're the best one I've seen by far. I'm sure that some SF members could up the game though...

Thanks for the votes and compliments guys.

I personally think this competition should be hosted by Brooks Brothers, specifically the black fleece stuff. Someone wearing that would take it.

I think its worth a shot, and i think if anyone were to get it, it would be a SF person, most likely P&A.

I really dont dress the 'Draper' but I remember a few episodes featuring tweed jackets, bowties, club collars, ect. I like to wear more of a country club look.

My Last name is Holcombe because my father's side is English, whereas my mothers side is Italian. Works out well, I think its a great combination. Always have been closer to my mom's side, and we do the gravy sunday dinners, and huge parties for every occasion.

The women are really rockin' this competition.

Seems quite a few didn't think to dress up for their submission. I have to wonder if some of these people have even seen Mad Men.

Like this guy:
