Well Rusty, it's a present so have what you want.
BUT prices for anything to do with aviation are completely over the top. Some of it we have to put up with - you can't get whizwheels etc on the high street. But you can get cheap versions of flying jackets, and they look the same and work just as well. Though I agree with Chilli Monster that a fleece is more practical. If it were me I'd hunt around and get a cheaper jacket, and get something else for the extra money.
