If a PC jacket is what floats your boat... go for the real deal but, as Todd suggests, buy a quality product and from a reputible dealer. Like a quality kilt... it should last a lifetime. A while back, I saved up my nickles and bought a genuine "made in Scotland" argyll jacket because I felt the PC was just a bit too formal for most functions or venues that I attend. The quality and detailing was well worth the $450 I shelled out for it. And while I only wear it perhaps 6 or 7 times a year, that's still much more than I would be inclined to wear a suit!!
