I have a lightweight Inverness cape in Nylon! Actually, it does nothing to keep the cold out, but it is fabulous against heavy rain.
Top coats with kilts are a bit of a quandary, and so much depends upon where one is going and what one is doing. The important point to watch, as I see things, is to ensure that whatever coat you wear, it is no longer than your kilt. Unless you show an inch or two of kilt below your coat, you might be mistaken for a 'flasher' - especially if your coat is a rain-coat (and a grubby one at that!).
(PS: Thanks, David. You have reminded me that I have a Barbour 3/4 length languishing, unused for at least five years, at the back of the Hall cupboard. It badly needs re-waxing so I must get it off to Barbour HQ for attention).
