If you like the cut, quality and fit of the PC, I say go for it. I'm very lucky because I'm a very standard size. Jackets of all varieties are available in my size (38 to 40) on ebay regularly. You mentioned that you are a larger gent than I, so finding the proper size on ebay may be a challenge. If you want a good quality Scottish tailored PC, this is far less expensive than you'd pay new. MacLowlife is right that the PC is a bit generic but if we show collective enthusiasm for the Regulation doublet online here, the outfitters in Pakistan will just start churning them out cheaply next week so my advise is to decide what you like. You're not likely to find an ex-hire regulation doublet since i don't know of anyone who rents them. So, if you don't want to pay retail and like the look of a PC, this is pretty good value for money.
