Navy contrast stitching for russet badalassi?

[JoFlym]

Hi gentlemen,

I'm working on an Aero Premier Highwayman in russet badalassi, and I am trying to decide on stitch color. I think olive drab, brown, and rust are all solid options with subtly different looks. I have olive drab on my brown FQHH CXL Hooch Hauler and I really like it, but I want to try something a little different.

I'm going with a Buchanan blue Lochcarron tartan lining,

with navy sateen sleeves, and thought, why not navy stitching? I've read around on TFL and haven't heard much mention of navy contrast stitching and haven't seen any photos of navy stitching... What are your all's thoughts? Is navy a good idea with russet? Any other votes for a subtle contrast stitch color? Thanks!

I think it would work with the blue tartan. Russet seems to pair nice with darker jeans, so why not..

Off-white with russet is great:

I think navy stitching would look sharp.

I think you should go for it if you like the combination. It seems like they would pair well together.

Don't see any harm in it.
Though I think the contrast of navy thread on russet will make it read closer to black than navy.

I'm not sure if the thread aero uses will fade over time. That could be something to consider for the long haul.

I'd do it, esp with blue/navy in the lining
