I'm thinking about matching this with some heavyweight khaki's. What else would it go with? Shirt, shoes...

If you dont get the dries knit hit me up with where it's selling at. Color won't work for me so won't cop but curious where you're copping for so cheap

#4: Ervell + other.

Thanks for the response on the DvN btw. The close ups showed it is really thin, which in my mind makes it more dressy. Personally, I've been buying too much dressy clothing that I hardly wear so I'm making an effort to buy more casual items that I will wear more. From your fit pics, I take it that your style is more casual like mine. It looks like you have a good build for Ervell. A small probably?

that beige is a difficult color for a lot of people -- myself included -- and I am skeptical that it will work for Kvc . . .

Hmm that is a good point as far as it being dressier.
I have a medium Ervell Cardi that fits great, however I had to sell a Ervell pocket sweater in M because it was too big. If I go with the Ervell I think I'll do a small yeah.
