I'm going to have a classic navy blazer commissioned. 2 or 3-roll-2, brass buttons. Probably side vents with modest waist suppression and soft shoulders. I want this to be an ultimate 'all around' blazer. The fabric will be a 12-oz worsted..I'm considering something from Minnis's QZ line.
What would be more appropriate for the color navy here? Minnis offers a 'bright navy' which is still very dark but a bit blue-er than the color they call 'navy', which is darker, almost black.
Here is bright navy 55448:
Here is navy 55449:
Not sure if they even look different here.
I have had navy blazers in a range of shades, typically the more flannel-y ones being brighter and the smoother-finish ones being a bit darker and shinier, but that may be more coincidence than anything else.
If they're both appropriate, then I guess it comes down to personal preference...
Slightly separate question - if I were instead to have a plain navy suit made, would the answer about brighter vs. darker navies by different?
