I decided to go with, you guessed it--Navy. I had a piece of maroon twill, but I thought the whole thing could hang better with the blue (it is slightly stiff too, which is fine, but not as heavy as the maroon).
Speaking of sleeves--here's a new one for me. Elbow darts!
Four days total on this project from start to completion. Having worn it for about 16 hours, I can also tell you that it is comfortable. :)
