First off-I would like to thank everyone for their advice and help so far.


The reason my PC won't arrive in before I leave is the "special" measurments that I have. I am a "big feller" (size 52 jacket). Over 6' 1" very broad-shouldered. It's the measurement they take from the crown of the shoulder to the wrist that has become my "down-fall" in getting a nice fitting jacket I can use. The 52 is too big and does not fit the way it should. This is why I am having one specially made as a "51" or something like that. Size 50 is too restrictive. I have looked into rentals, a lot of the places near me either have no 52 or and the ones they do fit terribly because of the unusual arm length I have. This is why I don't wear tuxedo's well.

I have been told that there are alternitives to PC jackets, just not sure which one. My wife told me the ship has "rentals" onboard for special functions and perhaps I might find something there. I leave this Thursday, so time has become a large factor. The thing is, if I knew about this earlier (wearing the kilt) I would have been ready. Basically, I want to look sharp for this function because I was told that these events are very formal because it is on Christmas Day.
