So far, my ranking:

JPHardy
Tira
Clags/me (tie)
Stitchy (I would have liked a different tie, I think)

JPH has put some distance between himself and Tira, and likewise between Tira and the rest of us.

Tira, you still planning to drop some science?

I hope T posts some new pics, otherwise I guess I'll have to use his green shirt fit in the poll because the other one is controversial...

I have revised my opinion of Stitchy's tie. I think it successfully references the color of his shoes, tying the top and bottom halves together.

I have spoken.

This is what the English calls good fun!

Very proper bespoke Steven Hitchcock velvet/grosgrain Dinner coat/bow, Budd collar, Turnbull & Asser PS - and "fun" Budd evening shirt made up of odd ends and pieces with proper Marcella front/cuffs!

A good thing you are not supposed to take off the coat - only your wife and/or mistress will ever know :hide: :bigstar:
