Thank both of you for your responses. I do believe, (with my very limited knowledge of suits) that the H. Freeman does feel "nicer" in quality. However, Pine, your statement to scrap it hurts. I know it is not a suit, because it doesn't have matching pants, however, I know there has to be a store somewhere that has the same pattern or color (If fact I saw a store in a nearby city that had pictures (SJ Haggard) in OKC that had a picture of a kid wearing a suit that looked exactly the same as my H. Freeman, so I know they have to exist. I know it would be a time sink to try and track down a pair of pants, but unfortunately, that is what I have more of, more time, and less money at this moment and if I could spare having to throw the jacket out (maybe instead I could wear it with something else, like jeans or other contrasting pants as a casual outfit?) I just hate throwing stuff away!
Anyway, the whole reason I even went down this route, instead of buying a legit, nice suit, is I need it for my friend's wedding (I am a guest) and don't want to sink 600-1000 into a suit yet because I am in the midst of losing weight. I have lost a ton of weight over the past year, around 100 pounds, and I have 20 pounds more to go until I am at my goal weight. I don't want to get measured and have a suit made with 20 pounds left to lose, but needed the jacket for the wedding, so that was my dilemma. Someday, hopefully in the next 6 months, I will go and get a true legit suit, which I do look forward to and will treat as a goal for becoming a much healthier weight. Anyway, thanks for your information guys. I will do what you suggested Woofa and give a few pics of both jackets and see what you think. I'll post later. Thanks again.
