Winding down decisions... Capri vs. Apache!
Trying to get our H&M purchase in during this sales period-- looking to order the Utah sofa in hand antiqued saddle (love!) but struggling over the leather selection for two Roy loungers that will flank the sofa. The Utah is to stand out as the showpiece, with the Roys as inviting, more casual supporting characters. Wish list includes a leather that will compliment the hand antiqued saddle and provide some contrast/not overshadow or clash as the pieces will be close to one another, not so tough or non-pliable so that will it be comfy for naps, and an appearance that lends itself well to a transitional farmhouse environment. Out of the ~30 samples I requested (thanks Duane!), our favorites are Apache Espresso (class 2) and Capri Tobacco (class 4). I feel that Apache (my fav) provides the most contrast and I happen to love the feel and matte-ness/worness of it, but as everyone here knows, the Capri is like butter. I have a demanding but rewarding job and work long hours and the husband does a lot of physical work and suffers from chronic back pain-- one priority is ultimate comfort when we find time to relax. Trying to balance appearance vs cohesion vs tactile experience vs economy, who knew buying furniture would be so perplexing!
Thoughts on these combos? I've attached a photo below of the samples next to one another.

Middle: Hand Antiqued Saddle
Right: Capri Tobacco
Wild card: didn't really look at many Class 4s the first time around as I was trying to stay away from that price point-- love the (likely wildly inaccurate) online swatch for Custer Camel, a lighter color for the chairs. Thoughts on this leather and how it compares to the other choices?
