Don't put yourself down, Jamie! I am sure you made a superb model. And NO, I am not free and never have been. 'Expensive' is a word that has been directed in my direction across the years!

It seemed very good for the rain and they fold up into a very small pouch for ease of carrying. However because they are so light weight I can't imagine they do well in the wind.
I'll vouch for that.

The one I was fortunate enough to purchase from a friend is a wool / poly blend and the weight is such that even at the fierce winds at the beach yesterday during a rainstorm did not make it unmanageable.



You saw this picture on my Valentine's Day hat thread.

The ability to access one's coat pockets and sporran without exposing oneself to the elements is unmatched by any any overcoat. I happen to have two overcoats (including a wonderful London Fog trench coat that I am sure will be in use by my children's children long after I have passed, great quality!) and they are very nice indeed.

I like my inverness cape better!
And, as I have said before Jamie, it suits you well. I have never tried on a tweed or tweed-like one and so cannot really tell if it would do anything for me, but I seriously doubt it.

By the by Ham, a nice deer stalker cap would save your Lairdship's hair from becoming unkempt.
Oh yeah? What hair is that then Jamie?

Take care,
Ham.
