Traditional Rain Clothing

[Bugbear]

You can relax.

I worked as a therapist for sex offenders on probation for a few years in Phoenix and the flasher you describe is pretty much the stereotypical vision. Much different in reality - seldom a trench coat. Those that do wear a trench coat use the pant legs tied above the knees to avoid suspicion.....

Let me up.....

Ron, book suggestion on not seeing what you aren't looking for, even if it's right in front of your face. The Invisible Gorilla: And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us, by Christopher F. Chabris and Daniel J. Simons (New York: Crown/Random House, 2010).

Driza-Bone full length wax jacket and Hunter wellies do the business for me. I'm not a fan of hats, I've got hair, but if I have to my old TOS gets an outing.

So far, it looks like the traditional Highland rain outfit is:

A Barbour wax jacket, suggested by Cajunscot and seconded by JerseyLawyer and possibly Figheadair or Canuck of NI,

Alternatively, a tweed or wool inverness cape, suggested by JerseyLawyer and seconded by Riverkilt and Starbkjrus (Mr. Antony Inverness Cape ),

A fore 'n aft or deer stalker, suggested by Jock Scot and seconded by Starbkjrus (seeking a deer stalker source),

A TOS, suggested by Figheadair,

Wellies, suggested by JerseyLawyer and Figheadair,

A heavy duty umbrella from Swaine Adeney & Brigg, suggested by Jock Scot, umbrellas seconded by JerseyLawyer.

One item that seems to be absent in the discussion is gloves.

There are other suggestions, however, it is unclear that they are traditional Highland attire.

Stop the presses! The Barbour I was referring to is in fact called the "Burghley", not the Mark Phillips. It's also an equestrian coat, but longer. Great leg straps you can step into that keep it under control in hurricanes or similar weather. But at least in British weight, it IS warm for most places in the USA (Barbour sometimes uses lower weight cloth for the US market though).

Jock Scot suggested an umbrella from Swaine Adeney & Brigg, so here are their umbrellas:

There are many sources on the web for wellies, so I won't post any links.

Hope that helps someone.

Barbour is also a good source for tattersall shirts, as is Beretta, another great outdoors supplier.

I recall the discussion of tattersall shirts with a kilt, MacLowlife, so it is not off track.
I included a link to the Barbour Men's Wear because there were several interesting categories listed, including tweed and wool outerwear; shirts are also listed.

All right, as per MacLowlife's suggestion, Tattersall shirts:
Beretta Tattersall Shirt
And there are several Barbour's tattersall shirts in their shirt section.
To supplement the other links I posted.
