Here is my thought on formal jackets (one I developed with conversations with Alan H.)

If you want a perfect Prince Charlie, buy a real Prince Charlie. Trying to make another kind of jacket into one is never going to work.

However I have a converted tux with tails that is pretty close to a PC jacket. I don't feel the least like a posser. Because it isn't a PC jacket. It is a formal kilt jacket though. There are many different styles of tuxedos out there, why does there only have to be two formal kilt jackets?

Cheers
