Which one of these military-pocket blazers look the best?

I've always liked blazers with military-details like large flap-pockets or epaulettes etc, great as spring-jackets. I've found two (or perhaps it is the same jacket) i like, but i cant decide which color/cut.

One of them is a 2 button, the other 3 button jacket - but on closer inspection i actually think it's the same model, the 2button jacket seems to be a 3-roll-2 or whatever it's called, and it's labelled as a 3-b jacket in the description aswell

The khaki-colored one seems to fit more relaxed but i think it's just a different size on the model

Which one would you choose - the 2/3-b khaki or the 3b- grey ?

The button stance of the khaki jacket is kind of low considering how fashionable these are. Normally I prefer high-stance two-button jackets, but for a more authentic military look you could go four or more buttons. The khaki colour is much better for this sort of look than maroon or whatever, IMO.

I don't know if it's just the way it hangs on the mannequin, but the darker coloured one seems to have a slightly more defined waist. I like the three buttons more for a genuine military look too.

I'd go for that one. If it had epaulettes too, that would clinch the deal for me.

I have to agree the 2nd Jacket, because it appear's to have a more fitted look.
