Is this actually formalwear...

[Nighthawk]

Oh! That makes sense then. Probably still not formal, but it would be kind of neat.

Yeah, it should look great. I can't wait until we're done with it.

I think you were right about them just trying to make a sale. A "swordsman" type jacket would not be considered formal dress but is great for ceilidhs that sort of non dressy event.
