Detroit finalist in Esquire contest

What started out as a dare, ended up as a reality for Attorney Herbert A. Sanders. Sanders is the only Detroit finalist in Esquire magazine`s "2005 Best Dressed Real Man in America" competition.

In the Spring of 2005 Esquire magazine started its search for the best-dressed man in ten major cities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Dallas and Seattle. Thousands of well-dressed men showed up for the competition but the Esquire editors only selected five finalists.

As a finalist, Sanders was flown to New York for a photo shoot, which will be featured in Esquire`s September issue (in stores by the middle of August). America will cast the final vote on-line, and the winner will be announced live on the "Today Show" in September. The grand prize winner will also walk away with a new Chrysler Crossfire, a Macy`s shopping spree and other prizes. Sanders is a graduate of Michigan State University and the University of Michigan Law School.
