I don’t understand the two shades of blue. It clashes.

The 2 different colors of blue are very traditional and significant. During the 1800’s and in the Cavalry western outposts, the Jacket was used specifically for cememonies and “dressy” occasions, and were stored away. The pants were used and worn daily, and thus became sun bleached and worn. The Army, keeping the tradition alive (for once), kept the off setting colors for this fact.
