Buy the new jacket, at a budget price if need be, and go to the event without ever worrying that you are not up to the expressed and expected standard of dress.

PS. Here is a link to where I purchased mine.
http://stores.ebay.com/CARSE-OF-GOWR...p2047675.l2563
It is 17oz, very well made and the service was perfect. Check his ratings!
Thanks for the link - though I think by the time I've added in a vest and shipping, I'm approaching the price Rocky currently has on a jacket/vest combo. And I can be there in person to see if it fits...
Now crossing my fingers that he has right size, or Carse can get it here quickly enough, else Spencer it will definitely be.
