Bob, I'm surprised that you can't find them up there in New York. Even, our Walmart here in Seaford, (lower, slower) Delaware has them. I bought a beige one a couple of months ago at the original price of $74.99 and I bought a black & gray herring bone one this week on sale for $50.00. They are beautiful jackets and both of them fit me like they were made for me. I wear a 40s and they fit perfect. The light blue one is really nice as well, but they didn't have any left in my size or I'd have bought one of those too at that price.
The Walmart here has approximately 30 left (half of them beige ones) in mostly the larger sizes (44 & up).
I think it's worth seeking out a Walmart that has them.
