This particular eBay vendor has these on offer regularly. I've only put mine to serious use once so far, but am extremely happy with it; like most military-spec apparel, they are very well-constructed and well-designed (the hood is detachable, and there are interior arm loops), generously cut and in Very Good, New Old Stock condition. I only feel a need for full coverage on dressy occasions however--for casual kilted wear I really don't care about getting wet from the waist down, and a waist-length jacket of some sort is all I need. As Mama would say, "It's just rain. You won't melt..."
