The one I saw hanging was like a stripped down PC. Some nice diamond shaped buttons, but no piped trim or anything like that. It looked basically like a kilt-cut black suit coat, with buttons similar to a PC.

He didnt really know price yet, but he didnt correct me when I mentioned the market for something around $80.00

The cheap jacekts could've been imported from Pakistan. They are not the greatest and too formal for most occasions.

How do you know this without ever having seen them?

I was told by a vendor in Vancouver. He would not touch them. Face it, if they are really under $100us, quality can't be top notch.

We'll just have to wait and see. Since there's several of us in SoCal, it shouldn't be too hard to get an up close inspection.

Top notch!?!? Whada ya want for un'er a hun'erd?

There are a variety of places to buy inexpensive sport coats to wear with khakis/trousers, and, no, they aren't fit to wear to a formal event...

But..... that is the kind of kilt-cut jacket I am looking for. I want something to toss on when a nip hits the air, that would work with a buttondown shirt without a tie....

I will probably buy a $300 kilt jacket someday, but I don't have any formal functions in the near future.. And I don't see why they ALL have to cost that much or nearly that much.....

I see nothing wrong with an inexpensive kilt-cut coat - especially if I don't have to go through the hassle of having a thrift store coat altered....

just my $0.02......
