Undercover with 5.11: Founder’s "Tactical" Sport Jacket

Neat comcept, I guess, but it seems like a solution looking for a problem.
I carry every church service, usually under a suit coat. Every Sunday and some Wednesdays.
Some of these times I am even preaching, like last night. TypicallI carry my full size 1911.
I have been doing so for about 10 years.
I am also head of our security.
In all of this time, I have never thought, man, I could really use a tactical suit coat.
Maybe this is fine for the large/mega churches who's security teams are more like small law enforcement agencies, but this seems overkill for most folks.
Also, MSRP is $170 to $200 (not surprising for 5.11). I have paid less than that for every suit I own.
If it was $100, I MIGHT consider one. But not pushing $200.
I love my 5.11 tac pants that I wear on duty (just wore a pair last night) but their approximate $70 price tag is crazy.

I mean, I'm not their market and I'm never going to buy one but if I was working Security in a position where I needed to wear a suit jacket I could see that jacket coming in very handy.
As for the shoes I have never seen a pair of 511 issues that didn't suck

Maybe it is just the pictures or just me, but this does not fit into suit jacket category for me. Looks almost, too tailored. The photos show the material as matte. Again, it could be the photos.
It is not something I can see owning.
