Also, I forgot to mention this earlier, but I got two Johnstons of Elgin cashmere scarfs from STP, to make up for all the acrylic scarves I had before. They're thinner than I expected, but hopefully they will still be warm, and less prone to making my neck feel sweaty.

I have one too, and I think they are really great for the price!

I didn't see the thing about the scarves. I got my wife an Elgin cashmere scarf last week and she loves it.

J Crew barn jacket arrival! Looks even better in real life. This is my new favorite jacket.

Just bought a set of Jack Foxley elbow patches in Lionshead Tan. Going to put them on my new Stafford Navy Camel Hair jacket.

This is actually for a possible future recent purchase. I'm trying to decide on a pair of these gloves but can't decide on the color. Which one would you choose - brown, black, walnut or neither?

Vicious, I know it may sound to "matchy-matchy," but which pair do you feel would go better with the majority of your present line-up of shoes/boots?

For me, I have a few different pair (medium brown, dark brown, cognac, black), but have actually been opting for the medium brown ones so far this Fall (when needed). They seem to look good with *most* of my current seasonal footwear options, and I'm trying to steer myself away from worrying so damn much about matching leathers. I'm bad still, but I'm slowly getting better. LOL

Of those you have listed, I would normally think to go with the *brown* ones, as a middle-ground kinda thing, but that is a pretty *dark* brown, eh? They *do* have a little of the walnut (cognac?) trim on them, which could play well with some footwear in those hues too, though; so they might still be my choice. Tough call without being able to see them in-person. If the walnut ones are too light, then I would pass on them, personally. If they are more medium brown, I'd likely go that way.

Just my two gold pieces.

[Vicious49]

Yeah, I'm thinking the brown too. Hopefully the size M fits so I don't have to do a return.

The walnut looks cool because it's almost like a work glove but much nicer.

I'd go with the Brown ones as well. Walnuts might be tough to pull off in certain circumstances / getups

Another decision I need help with. Which one would you buy? Which one would be more versatile - the light grey or the dark grey?

I'd go for the dark. I usually find myself gravitating towards light shirt/dark tie combos rather than the reverse.

Agree with mcadams and BJ -- I'd fine it difficult to find stuff to pair the light grey with, although I do like the color of it generally.

+1 for dark. And definitely dark brown on those gloves.
