Right on, sir. I really like this pattern/shade. I'm sure it'll look nice and boring in the bes possible way for the club, but without making you look boring. I'm glad to hear too that the fit worked out; it's typically okay for a suit that fits in the shoulders to look a bit boxy at first, as the midsection is very easy for a tailor to trim up for you.
For the two patterns you're holding up, I think the blue birdseye would make a great suit or sportcoat. Birdseye kind of adds a bit of an illusion of texture to a smooth fabric, which casualizes it somewhat, without actually being coarse and textured like hopsack, so it can cover a wide range of the formality scale. You said you already had a blazer, but in a pinch, you can grab the jacket from this suit and wear it as a separate. The light blue would probably make a fun casual sportcoat; I'd ask if they can make the shoulders softer / more Italian, and perhaps go with patch hip pockets instead of flapped. Would go great with with khakis or tan trousers for a relaxed but still present feeling, like if you have to meet a client off-hours or taking them out for lunch or something, or just enjoying yourself outside of work.
Anyway, hope you're having fun taking the new suit out for a test drive, and looking forward to your reports from the trunk show!
