Kilt wearing with a waterproof jacket

[Cavalry Scout]

Here's a question that occurs to me related to wearing a kilt in the wet. Is it the done thing to wear your waterproof so it covers the sporran, or gathered just above the sporran? (Or does it actually matter at all?)

Cheers,
Mark

I have a water proof Inverness cape that covers everything for such occasions.

Do you wear your Inverness during daily wear? I actually had not given consideration to a cape. We receive about 20 various sorts of rain in Oregon. (It's mizzling at the moment.) I already have several GoreTex jackets of one kind or another, but I'll look into the Inverness cape.

Thanks very much,
Mark

It folds up very small in its own pouch and can be easily carried in a back pack.

Mark,

Here's an old thread about a lightweight Inverness cape: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...in-cape-36510/

It packs up small so I use mine whether wearing kilt or pants.

Can that be used while carrying a back pack?
I have been looking for something waterproof that can be used when kilted, or carrying a back pack (kilted or not kilted).

Since the traditional water proof for the kilt is the Inverness coat, which not only covers the sporran, but the kilt as well. I believe staying dry is the first requirement.My emergency waterproof which folds into a nine inch square pouch, goes over the head and to well below the knees.


I'm intending to get an Australian stockman's coat for expected rain as a suitable substitute for the Inverness coat.

Driza-Bone is the original and still the best brand

They are great BUT please air them after wear in the rain, sailing and work.
Don't leave them scrunched up in the back of the car, cupboard or in the boat.... They STINK!
I still have fond memories of arguments with an ex about stench of his Driza-Bone vest (he was a horse rider) seems the wearer can't smell it???
But for water proof, comfort, long lasting & good looks with a huge range of outfits they are great.

A Drizabone was designed for riding a horse. Accordingly the smell of a horse is natural. An Inverness cape is really designed for pipers so they can play their pipes in the rain. Drummers have to throw the cape section back like Superman so the get their sleeves wet (no sleeves in the body). If not involved in a pipe band then any raincoat is suitable.

I have one and it also works well for cool days when you wish to cover your knees.
