Inverness cape alternatives?

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

I have two coats that I wear- I have a navy blue London Fog trench coat (canvas) and a black leather duster. I find that both work really well, and nothing cuts a dash like an ankle length black leather duster- nothing! Sorry, McMurdo.

Let's see, leather gets heavier as it gets wetter, transfers the cold quicker as it is almost totally lacking in insulating ability, and when worn makes one look like an extra in a spaghetti western... Sorry, but I'm on board with Glen and Jamie on this one. The Inverness is THE dog's "whatsits" when in come to kilted cool.
