    What the heck is a potaine jacket? I would guess it is informal? Highland or Lowland? Sorry if these questions are redundant.

    Thanks

    I thought a potaine jacket was a Canadian gament fashioned from french fries, melted cheese, and gravy.

    Go fig.
    My mind wanders, but don't worry. It's weak and can't get very far.

    LOL that's what I thought of when I first saw the name. It is a dangerously tasty concoction.
