Pattern contest. Prize: Kent Wang pocket square.

[Brownshoe]

Great day in the morning, how did I squeak in there?!

Thanks, Manton, honored to represent the trad.

Don't care if I place ninth, I am satisfied with edging AlanC!

I warned 'im!

Where's that Trad Forum ban button?

No, yes and yes.

I think that this is the most impressive of all in that the tie is intensely ugly (IMHO) but the entire thing looks good.

I've been debating whether or not to sell that tie (I pretty much never wear it.) Now I must decide whether Iamatts comment will motivate me to scuttle it, or stubbornly hang on since I don't really think it's ugly

It's a Robert Talbott Estate btw, best made tie I've ever seen, bar none. That may be causing bias.

I can do 8 easily.

With a little work 10.

Taking pictures of it (given my technological difficulties) could be the problem...

Maybe this weekend Kent?

Hey cowboy,

Does the phrase all hat and no cattle mean anything to you?

 

[Kent Wang]

That's a Texas expression.

yes, for somebody who talks a big game, but who apparently has none.

I am a novice. Is the square wrong or my attempt at a fold?

The pocket square is linen, yellow with pink flowers.

I'm guessing something came up to prevent Steve from taking pics, because I know there is no shortage of patterns in his closet!!

Yeah, Matt, fair enough.

Kent and I got busy with other things and never quite got 'round to it.

Side note: We gotta find a place closer next time to avoid that OUTRAGEOUS cab bill. We could've rented a limo for the night. There's an idea...for next time...

Think braces, socks, cuff links, watch, tie bar, AND Panama hat (Optimo of course) ALL matching...

I REALLY do need to do this digital camera thing though.

Hey, that square is a Turnbull & Asser. I happen to like it fine, oh Mr. Fancy Pants Pattern Judge.
