Depends on the cloth, I suppose. The other evening I wore this suit, navy with faint red box check, Lumb's Golden Bale flannel. Fairly formal, I think, and suitable for evening wear. I wore burgundy Edward Green Halifax chukkas (essentially Dovers but turned into a boot) as there was both a threat of rain and, being outside, there was sand and gravel underfoot. I would not wear walnut colored shoes nor any light-colored shoe with a navy suit.I am interested in opinions on just how formal or informal you consider a navy wool DB suit. Furthermore, what do you consider appropriate shoes, ie primarily black oxfords vs walnut AE Strands.
Thank you. The fabric appears to be a super 130 three season in what I consider a "true" navy. Very traditional. No pattern.Depends on the cloth, I suppose.

Personally, i love the jacket and wish I had one! It is a statement unto itself, so agree with your first instince to stay with solid color. Perhaps play with texture such as knit ,Garza, or shantung material I could see any of these in a deep rich blue ( not necessarily navy).Trying this jacket with a patterned tie. I usually only wear a solid tie. I think it’s ok, but the dark navy in the tie looks almost black in photos. I know many people wouldn’t wear this jacket at all. Despite that, what patterned tie would work with this in your estimation? Thanks for your consideration.
