Hey guys I am deciding between 2 fabrics for my next MTM HF sportcoat. Here are the fabrics at hand:

and helpfully so here is what I currently own in sportcoats:

I always like the blue but I think with the choices I have I am leaning towards the darker greyish/blackish/brownish color. Any opinions or suggestions would be appreciated!

If this helps I have a wide selection of gray, blue, and brown slacks and my shoe collection is medium browns to dark browns.

Thanks in advance gents!

I like the bottom one, the grey and brown one. Yeah, patch pockets would look great if done well

pick trousers to wear with these cloths before you decide. May make the decision easier.

Thanks! It was my first MTM Hickey Freeman Sportcoat and it has fueled my desire to continue to do MTM.

I tried all the trousers I own and they both work perfectly, i mean with the exception of a light khaki color.

Neither. To me they're too bland, mainstream, mid-American, etc.
