I would say an Inverness is your best bet, I've heard nothing but good about the Mr. Anthony Inverness Cape, I know many vendors carry them, the other option would be the Empire Canvas Works Storm Cape that you can get through the Scotish Tartan Museum

EDIT:
Here is my Inverness Cape, made by our own vmac3205


It has not seen a real downpour as yet, but has held up wonderfully in the rain we've had since it's arrival, perhaps you could get in touch with her about one for yourself.

I wore my storm cape out in the rain recently and nary a drop touched me. Those things are incredible.

I'm in Vancouver right now. Great weather we are having in the Pacific Northwest right now, isn't it? So you must be preparing for our usual fall. Check http://www.misterantony.com/#ultimate. The least expensive the the only one you will need if you are infrequently out in the rain. You might try a local Highland dress supplier to compare prices, or Donald Gordon's Tartantown in Vancouver. Their standard cape is about CAD70. Add a good all-wool bonnet, wool hose and stout brogues with a "weather welt" and you will have it made.

I wear a tweed bucket hat from Donegal and a wool sweater or coat. Wool is such a wonderful material in the rain.

I like the look of a Barbour waxed field jacket with a kilt. They are fantastic for shedding rain.

I quite happy with my Mr. Anthony (Bandspec). If I lived in your area, I'll probably look at their Canmore version.
