PC jacket comparison

[James MacMillan]

I don't have either of those PC's, but I think you should do what I'm going to do.

I'm going to go ..here.. and get me a high quality tail coat, and convert it.

I have a mediocre PC, but I want something better. My tailor can do the conversion, with direction, photos, drawings, etc, etc for around $35. So I will end up with a great PC for less than $100.

Food for thought.

they seem to be a good source. Black tailcoats are scarce right now (I saw boy's sizes), but will keep watching. In the process, I stumbled on this fellow:

funny long coat

... which looks as though it might be bobbed into an open-front doublet. I wonder whether I'd look like a refugee from a high school band. Might pull it off with a nice jabot, I suppose. The middle sizes are all short, but some of the excess fabric might go into a cuff...
