Exactly,

remember, it's wool after all. So, as long as it's not a tropical downpour, you should be ok. It's not the water that destroys wool when washing... it's heat and agitation...

Oh, and if you do find a nice over-coat. make sure it's not too long (if it's not possible to see a small amount of kilt below the bottom of the coat, people will think you are a flasher!
