    If you are already willing to pay for that much for a jacket, you should really think about getting one custom fitted. I think the ones Matt offers are made to order. And your choice of material is much better. Sure you might find one on sale at the games and it might fit, but is it what you really want. Also, the one at the games might not have a matching vest. You have to think if you will be able to find one that matches.
    I'm just trying to give you some things to think about. If you see something that you really like and it is exactly what you are looking for then by all means go for it. Just don't settle for something because its close to what you want and its on sale. I've been there, done that, and regretted it. And now its folded and laying on a shelf in my closet.

    I got mine custom fitted from Kathy Lare for less than $400. Had to wait...was made by Lochcarron, they work through dealers I think...I'm very pleased. Probably gonna get another one if there's room on the plastic. www.kathyskilts.com
