Yes you do & I, for one RESPECT that. 
As to there being "more Modern & better ways" to address the ELEMENTS, yes there are.
FOR information I live in the PNW part of the USA. & have done so all of my Life, 66 = years ( not counting my service time & college in Colorado)
1 I have spent a GOOD SHARE of my time "out doors." (hiking, hunting,fishing, camping etc. to "BUSINESS") & dressing for the "ELEMENTS" YES!!
here is a picture of the land I grew up on & still frequent often (NE WA those "foothills" in the background are 3,000' ++ (Rockies)

A. Cold Damp Rain of our Coast to the mountains (think 3,00ft++( our Cascades to 10,000'++++ (Rockies)
B. Here in the PNW, we are "known" for our "outdoor gear" & our ability to confront our "WEATHER"
GORE TEX (a NECESSITY ) both in Jackets (most often with zip in Liners, "fleece" to DOWN.) to Down CAR Coats & over coats (for "dress")
2. Do I utilize them when "KILTED UP, YES!! when necessary. here is a picture of me wearing a "down jacket" on the way out into our recent "cold?snow snap" (low 20s,2' snow) If it had been snowing the jacket would have been one of my "GORE TEX"

Although I try to dress "nice" I AM NOT into POSING ! ( I leave that to others) 
"the "Laird's/Day Plaid" is worn, IMHO, because it meets a PRACTICAL Need, in my clothing needs.
