Hey Mel,
Yeah, the slicker or "duster" style coat you have is an Australian design that US ranchers and cowboys wear. I sold them at the western wear store in Ohio at which I used to work. Beware of the oilskin. It will discolor other fabrics. As for the leg straps, they are used for riding horses. You won't need them for just walking. The oilskin fabric is heavy enough it won't blow all over in a light breeze. So, shouldn't conflict with the kilt.
Cheers,
KC
