Civilian Frock

[Caleb Benefield]

I have done some research but also wanted a second opinion. I am currently in the process of collecting material to make a Civilian Frock, I have found a dark olive blend of 80% wool and 20% cashmere and the lapel will be Black velvet. My question is on the color combination. Would they have combined the colors to have a Dark green coat with a black lapel or would the lapel have matched the color of the coat? I also plan on covering all the buttons with the black velvet. All opinions are welcome.

Thanks
Caleb
