At least everything I am wearing today, save for the belt and the handkerchief, is from Brooks - what could be more Trad than that?

The waist could use a nip, I look like a fat bastard...looked better untucked.

Not pictured Paul Stuart Raincoat...

By the way - I just had you clicked for a vote, but for some reason it unclicked when I hit submit - If it comes down to the wire on you, let it be known your shown number should be plus 1 from me.

I felt my entry was too perfect of a trad look, so I didnt want to show these guys up.

Simple enough, vote for me.

gawdammit I wanted to vote for you so the interwebs can know that no trad look is complete without purple corduroy, rules be damned.

Sorry, the learned and erudite vibe I got from Harvey's pic had me sold. I like your look though.

Mike's the clear winner with UC coming in second - most of the rest aren't even in the right ballpark.

I thought that was a disclaimer for participation, no? edit - you are still ahead of most of the pack anyhow

No a disclaimer for posting, not for participation - not that it matters
