For cold weather, I like surplus wool greatcoats. This one is from the British Army I believe.
...

Ah, Ron, you've made me miss my old greatcoat (my wife donated it to charity when I was at work one day). 16.5 lbs. of wool and I've never worn anything warmer.

With autumn here and winter on the way, I know I'm going to miss it even more in the coming months!

Try a "fore 'n aft" or "deer stalker" as a better option for hats. Oh and an umbrella is always handy.

Village Hat Shop has now discontinued the deerstalker. Any idea where I can find one please PM me.

I WILL have one this year.....

And, someday maybe - a wool Inverness Cape from Mr. Antony.....some day....maybe....

Me too Ron...me too.

Thanks to their somewhat-annoying website, I can't tell if Barbour stil makes my recommendation, but in addition to the jackets already mentioned you could look for a very long equestrian waxed cotton model they at least used to sell, "the Mark Phillips" or its replacement (got mine at least 20 years ago). Worn off a horse, it comes off as a sort of floppy trench coat and works very well when kilted. But for rainy warmish weather, of which we Eastern Canucks had a plethora two years back, I had to invest in a 'Band Spec' model nylon Inverness cape- there's warm and then there's Barbour warm.

The 'band spec' has the silent endorsement of every pipe band I've ever seen in the rain....

It appears that Scotweb still carries a deerstalker that looks identical to one fo the offerings from Village Hat.
