There is a photo from the blog 'Stylish with a Budget: http://stylishwithabudget.blogspot.com wearing the IM dicker boots in gris. A very different view of the color in the daylight in my opinion, a chocolate color instead of gray.
I can't decide which of the first IM dickers to get.. pls help me!
How is the gris compared to khaki?
I saw the gris.. and it looks somewhat greenish too.. but I never see the khaki in real life.
Which is more neutral?
If I love my first pair, I am thinking of getting the cognac leather too
I have both, if you are looking for a versatile colour, I would go for khaki. They are more neutral than gris, ie will go with more colours. I posted a pic a while back with khaki and gris, this is only my opinion. IHTH!!

I returned the Gris and I kept the Khaki for that reason
You look amazing! Your dogs are super cute also. Loving your blog, just subbed to it.
Elaine: is your gris happen to be a size 38?
I think there are 2 'different' kinds of Gris..one is the greyish brownish (which I adore!), and one is the greyish greenish.
The reason I am saying this is because:
I first ordered the gris in size 38. When it came, I fell in love with the gris color, it looked so beautiful, a dark grey with a hint of brown.. so pretty, not to mention the suede felt & looked so luxurious! But sadly they were too big for me!
So I ordered the 37 Gris. I received them in a couple of days and was surprised to see that the color is very different! The difference is quite obvious as I compared them side by side.
The suede gris in size 37 felt different, it was not as thick / luxurious as the 38 gris.
And 37 gris definitely has a green undertone.
Oh I am soooo dissapointed.. I really want the greyish - brownish combo!!

I don't know....but if that was me, I'd be pretty damn angry. So it's like basically a gamble then? I'm really sorry to hear that, it must be beyond frustrating.

I wonder if they were from different production seasons? Could one be leftover from this past spring and the other new for Fall?
Yes! I was so bumped!
I wonder if the production is made in different places, that is why 37 batch is different than 38..?
I am not sure either, but I ordered from La Garconne as well as Barneys..so they should be from the current seasons!
I figured if I ordered the 37s from 2 diff places, maybe I could get lucky with one of them, but they both turned out to be the same.. greyish greenish, and different than the size 38!
Thank you for your sweet comments petot and Porter.
Eilene, interesting that you sent your black leather Dickers back. I feel a little ambivalent about them too, I think I may prefer the black suede. I was happy to find these little booties, 75% discount aside, as the style suits the black leather IMO. I'm interested to hear how you like the cognac leather Dickers. They looks cool in the pictures.
lapindelune, thank you. The pants are fine corduroy pants in black (but I have a pair in navy too). They are so comfortable, I have lived in them this winter.

That's so strange about the different shade of grey. I'm sorry to hear you can't find a pair in 37 that is a nice shade of grey. Perhaps consider cognac. I have cognac Dixies and wear them all them time. I'm not a brown person at all but they go and look good with EVERYTHING.
