However, if the cape is more 'plasticky' and geared only toward standing in the rain (as so many band capes I've seen) I'd just as soon get a trench coat.
No. A typical traditional trench coat is made with cotton (or cotton blend) gaberdine weave. The rain capes made by Mr. Antony are made with 100% oxford polyester with P.U. coating. No, they do not smell. You'd still be impressed with the quality of this garment.
