If Mr. Anthony put out a rain cape with nice large buttons (like the ones on a good trench coat) I would definitely be on board.
    There are several models apparently. My Mr. Anthony cape has buttons on it.

    Good to know. If I find one I'll have to consider purchasing it. All the ones I've seen have had snaps.
