Nothing for the celebitation... As I look at the full-length shot, I see that the left SC sleeve seems longer. I'll have to check that out. Rubber soles for the monsoon this morning, but now there's a completely clear blue sky outside my office window. So much for the threat of snow in San Francisco...

Cheers 0b5...I'm guessing because his suit have the more contemporary slim cut that mine does.

Wow! Fun day! I must say, this will be hard to vote for a favorite.

Now that you mention it that would have been great. Will have to consider for next year!

Thank you sir, I must admit your head of hair puts mine to shame. And nice suede shoes!

I know when I chose mine, I went for something that I owned already, and that was a trademark of my celeb. I don't know if you consider me one of the "costumey" ones, and I admit my selection is not exactly conservative, but this is a suit I wear regularly when the season is warm and one that I have posted a few times already. As a matter of fact, it is one of my personal favorites.

I will admit to going out of my way for some costuming. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a supermarket that still uses paper shopping bags?

If you can't tell who I am, I have obviously failed. I could not find a good enough pic for comparison purposes, but I will keep looking and maybe update.

Wow, I am still amazed at the entries today. I will have to run them down in a bit.

Automatic disqualification for dressing like he does every day! You at LEAST could have pulled a Roger or Bert! Oh, and points off for lack of French cuffs. Don would never be seen without cufflinks.

Thanks, Mr. D.

I found pics of him in 2 pieces as well as 3, some with peaks...also sometimes he sports the DB.

I thought the book was a good double entendre........

That was my point in the challenge announcement thread.

But I was threatened with bodily harm if I didn't post

Only kidding...

However, I couldn't do Roger as I don't have a proper 3 piece or Bert's more eccentric sense of style. The only other person I could have done would have been Pete but I already wore my blue suit this week.

In the end this is the look/style that I've aspired to for quite a while...DTO'd, Inspired by, clichÃ

or what have you, this is how I dress so there you go

True about the French cuffs but I don't have any white shirts with them, he also dosen't use I tie clip but I do...I'm not trying to be Don just show how his era's style has inspired mine.

The entries thus far have been awesome. Sorry this takes it down a notch... My take on Mr. Cucinelli. While I am sure he is wearing all his own clothes, only my jacket is his.
