Trying to decide between the grisha boots or these Pete Sorenson back zips. To be worn with jeans and maybe my Schneider (I tend to go with my lemaire or mmm)

@dieworkwear I think blue would go better with that stuff but all things equal i prefer the green.

Also, there is a Jil knit with that texture this season:

The grey marl is nice: http://needsupply.com/mens/brands/jil-sander/crew-neck-ls-sweater-in-open-grey.html

Maybe it's not quite the same as the E Tautz and Stella ones

I dig that Jil sweater. Bough the E. Tautz in blue, but if that doesn't work out, I might return it and get one one of those. Thanks!

don't really know JE tee quality but I would say Attachment quality should be quite high. And sounds like you'd be size 4. It's Japanese sizing so even 4 might have a small-ish chest. You should choose the one that fits you better (based on measurements)

^olive looks good on you. I bought the uu blocktech coat after trying it on, you might find that useful in the land of drizzle.
