Higgins' off-the-shelf items are of decent quality and certainly look presentable in social settings. You'd most likely be pleased with your purchase. They keep costs down by using medium quality fabrics. Nothing wrong with that, large franchised retailers have been doing that for many decades.

I wear a daycoat or Argyll jacket several times per week in the course of my occupation. They're replaced less frequently if I purchase the best quality on the market.

For those who plan to wear Higgins' informal jackets but several times per year, you'll find the styling & quality to be more than sufficient.

Slainte yall,
