In a dilemma between a dark navy in a mid-weight twill or a heavier high twist. For the twills I am considering H Lesser LGB (more muted) or Minnis QZ2 (more shine), while also very intrigued by the two darkest shades of navy 4ply by Finmeresco (370/390gr). Already have Drapers 4 ply in dark blue, and very satisfied with that fabric.

For a suit that you'd use in the office twice a week and also does not look out of place at evening dinners, anything I should rule out? If anyone has experience with darker navies from Finmeresco, would appreciate your input!

I'd go for the QZ2 or Lesser and skip the high twists.
