FRIDAY CHALLENGE 01/17/2014: GOOD OLD BLUE ON BLUE ACTION! SUP RUDALS!!!

[Cleav]

I go with that too...

 

[DonCologne]

^ Personally, I hate multistripe grenadines. The combination of the pattern and the weave reminds me of an early 80s arcade game; they look all pixellated. I know I'm in the minority, but I just don't get them at all.

+2. That tie is 8 Bit.

Really refreshing to see a summery variant on the theme, after so many (necessarily) wintery outfits. Nice one!

Ahem (2).

(Linen and spectators...I mean, do I need a ******* parasol?)

Pingson was knocking down all comers, but then tchoy stepped into the ring. Now we have a serious battle.

U suk

Somebody should do a challenge on who wears that Hober tie best. Is there anyone who's been on SF for more than 6 months who doesn't have that tie?

I dont have one.

You left me out, but its cool - I'm okay with it. Content just to appreciate the thread. Jerk.

 

[Betelgeuse]

Was a very nice challenge.

Talking about suits: my fave is Pingson, followed by tchoy... but I don't know if my eye is tricking me but the shoulders look a bit wear. Although it's an awesome fit. And unbelragazzo.... damn iPhone did not let us appreciate the fit as it should.

In terms of combos: Clags, DonSansimeon and RogerP.

I gave votes to others too but I forgot one for DonCologne! Can you remember that, estitchy, in case it's needed?

Everyone looks great this week, and I voted for a lot of people. Good job, I think this puts the idea that navy on navy is somehow verboten to rest.

 

[FlyingMonkey]

There were lots of very good fits this week, but two for me stood out just slightly above the rest: tchoy and Pingson. I'm sure umbelragazzo's was also excellent IRL, but I just couldn't tell from the photo, sorry. I also liked Sugarbutch and Crusty's attempt to shake things up with a bow-tie because if there was anything tricky about this one is that too many of the 'very good' also looked very similar to each other...

 

[Rudals]

Pingson ALL 'DA WAY~~~

 

[archibaldleach]

A lot of great fits this week. To me the message is that while navy on navy can be problematic, if you have a bit of skill you can make it look good. I still think that putting together a suit and tie of similar color requires a bit of extra care, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. Navy on navy isn't impossible to do but it also isn't idiot proof.

First, congrats to all - no-one's a disgrace and the standard is really high. I'm making my decision based on fit - the color (and from what i can make out of the texture) combos are all fine.

Tony Choy, Umbel and OD/OT are a dead heat IMHO, with special mention to SeaJen, the Doc and Stitches.
