Burns Night is coming. Formal on the cheap.

[Alan H]

I'm sure monkey@arms looked smashing and I'm not saying that polyester is categorically wrong or bad. My point is merely that one can get a short-waisted formal jacket, in wool, for LESS money than the Uniformalwearhouse jacket. Friday's link showed just one example, for $35. I'd agree that even for an extra $20 at the link usonian provided, it would still be worth it.

I've also seen Spencer/Eton jackets on eBay and my local thrift shops for $25-$40, assuming a typical bargain hunter doesn't have a problem with used clothing...

Wow...I've scanned our local Goodwill shops for years and never found anything! You're lucky! I wish I WOULD find something!
