Thought a 1972 houndstooth blazer needed a shiny new clip point, and my knife buddy in Tulsa called it a costume

I swapped the worn slipjoint in my jacket pocket for a polished clip point with a mirror finish, and it looked all wrong against the faded wool, like church shoes with gym shorts. A collector in Tulsa told me a patina'd carbon blade suits a 50 year old blazer better than anything shiny, and he was dead right. So what do you all match to a jacket with real age on it, does the wear on the wool drive the blade choice for you?
