This one pains me a bit though I've never carried it, never sharpened it, and never used it. It is just one really cool knife. Camillus 49, a VERY small knife.

Again, I just ask that you not sell it or trade it but give it away if you later decide for any reason you no longer want to keep it.

Open to regular Traditionals Forum participants. Just post a pic of you dressed extremely well (EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO REACH BACK SOME YEARS - you'll understand in a moment).

The winner will be a pic me, my wife, or one of my daughters like best. And don't assume the "classiest" pic will be chosen as we can be serious, humorous, humorless, silly, sad, and vain. But each pic must be a pic of you "well dressed".

One pic per post. One entry each time you post a separate pic.

I rarely dress well and am usually in canvas or trail pants, work shirts, and light weight hiking boots whether I'm at home, at work, on the street out and about, or at church services. I always say if I'm in a tie, someone is getting married or buried and then I dress for the bride or the family. The last time I wore a suit was in April 2011 at my eldest daughter's wedding, and I had to buy a suit for that occasion because I then didn't even own a suit.

Not an entry.
You and I have the same dress sense leghog.
I think you scrub up pretty good there. Your daughters face is gleaming with pride.
I was suiting up for awhile early 2016 I was working for a funeral director. Problem is when ever I go near a church the doors slam shut and all the candles blow out.
I'm going to have to search up pic -they're that rare- of me in a suit.
Here y go -2015 was the last time I suited up -in uniform at panthers leagues club-I was receiving a medal for being sent to the 2011 NZ earthquake.

leghog, love that pic of you and your daughter.

Here I am, at my wedding, at the moment when they opened the doors and I saw my bride in her dress for the first time. Look at that big goofy grin.

Here's one of me with my girlfriend of 16 months now. We like to go swing dancing, and that always requires looking nice!

Another fun idea! Thanks for the opportunity, leghog.

This is about as well dressed as I'll ever get. Normally, jeans and t shirt for this Cajun.

I'm the ugliest thing in the pic.

 
Would you settle for a picture of a picture? The last time I was in a suit it actually was a tuxedo when I was best man at a wedding back at the turn of the century, unless you count a Santa suit.

I do like those little 49s, I have a small collection of them.

Been a looong time since I dressed up for anything. I've even left instructions that when I die I'm to be buried in jeans. So, stretching way back here's a pic of me in my zoot suit at my senior prom with my (at the time) future wife.
 
Yall got a sense of humor? We shall see. My wife recently found this pic from 1988. I don't recall where we went that night, but I'll bet I had fun. :)

Man, the things you do to win a knife. :cool:. Oh, I'm in and thanks for the chance. :thumbup:
 
Well, you didn't specify well dressed for what, so here I am in all my radiant glory, in suitable "after six" campfire attire in Colorado.

Oh my goodness, this photo deserves a thread all to itself!

:D. The wife was asking questions about what kind of Web page I would post this pic on. I tried to explain it was an entry to win a knife. I dont think she bought it though. :rolleyes:

I was at a party, about 10 years ago, when someone secretly recorded me dancing :eek: :D Georgio Armani suit and tie, Ted Baker shirt ;)



You saw it first on Bladeforums! :D :thumbup:
 
I've entered in all the other GAW's you've hosted recently Leghog, I'm not about to stop now! I'm in.

Here is a picture of me as best man with my best friend at his wedding last year. I am providing the groom with the ceremonial reinforcement shot before he gets ready to head in.

Hmmm... well... not really an entry, but...

My wife and I "some" years ago, about the time we were married.

Well, I don't have have a suit that fits me anymore since I guess that being married has been good to me; or I've gotten lazier...
Anyway, the last time I really got dressed up I was getting married, or rather pretending to, but that's another story that if I can find the pictures I'll tell. This one is from the photo shoot we did after our wedding but during the reception at the local zoo.

Me and my lovely wife.
