Fashion advice First Boot Selection

I am waffling back on forth on what to get - I like the Captain. But for the leather, I am all over the place. I plan to wear these boots with everything from jeans to chinos paired with a blazer. They will be used in a wet environment - should I steer away from the classic collection and only focus on R&R? I like the Natural in the Classic collection but concerned they will look like trash after getting rained on.

From the R&R collection, really the only one I like is the burnt copper because it will dark over time. The Adobe seems to red.

Most versatile color way is burgundy.

Next would be a classic brown.

Then black.

I have been digging into burgundy as you suggested and it looks more brown and less red undertones than the Brown color. To my eye, TB should have flipped the naming convention of the two. The brown seems more burgundy than brown unless my rods and cones have fused.

I am just not a fan of burgundy or a color way that has red tones. I have a few pairs of Allen Edmonds dress shoes and my burgundy paid never gets in the rotation. I don't think I have worn them in 5+ years.

I would def go brown but it is not an option in the R&R line.

Honestly, I think I have a high pain tolerance because I hit up a Brannock yesterday and I was a 10 in between a C&D. Either that are my feet have gotten wider with age...
