The nearest piece of clothing worn normally today would be the Fishermans / Carpenters / farmworkers Smock. Generally worn over a shirt. But pulled over the head the same way as a ghillie shirt. They are longer than most tops covering down to sporran level. They come with round or collared necks and are mostly made of some sort of cotton twill. I've not seen any with a draw string collar.
I guess they are most probably a more direct decendant of the leine..
The nearest I can find at the moment the red-ish one down below..
