For me its between Spoo, Mike, TB, Parker, and Aeg. Haven't decided who yet (I'm a prude remember, I only vote once). I just hope the winner this week realizes that the Friday they will choose for is Christmas Eve...a Holiday themed Challenge?

i criticized Spoo on his shoe choices on the original thread, but based on his entire body of work and other entries, i thought he was the winner. Brought in Mrs Niidawg to provide an independent assessment and she went with Spoo too at first glance ... lol.

She's feeling your boring swagger Spoo ... i'm mad jealous

I haven't seen Lufty in weeks. I wonder if all the BS between him and the SW&D crowd drove him off?? I hope not.

Anyway, thanks for the vote. If you give me a good FU Challenge for next week, I won't let you down!

I went with Spoo. Although his fit was not conservative business dress in the true sense, it was a great fit that I have to respect.

I was really torn this week, because I think my Oxxford fit was much better than this one...but was not true to the rules in my mind. In the future, I say

to the rules.

My votes went to Spoo and Mike, partly because they really did do conservative business dress, and partly because I would find it endlessly amusing if either of them won a conservative business dress contest, given their natural preferences for louder looks.

PS. what's my pic actually doing in the poll? I thought I'd be disqualified from entry based purely on the pocket watch!

Im actually applying for a position to work for Holdfast, where this would be ultra conservative business dress.

If the only contest I win is conservative business dress I dont think I will be able to recover from that. I may have to seek counseling.

I wanted to be in on this one, but my grey flannel suit is at the tailor. Friday is my day off lately, too, so it's usually a bad challenge day for me.

I don't know what Lufty's excuse is.

Right, I only have to change from 2 to L for that.

No conservative business dress shoes (like most of the 'contestants', except for Threadbearer, JPQ and perhaps Mr. Claymore"”can't see those), but other than that... Parker. The subtle shirt stripe is Manton-approved (I guess) and the side dimple, well...

Don't know if it will be the "only" challenge you win...but you are well on your way!!!

Good job, Spoo.
