You're spot on Jonk - these period rain coats are a key staple to any skirmisher's Range Kit! Lightweight, low cost, easily rolled up so they do not take much space - and they help cut the wind and rain when needed. ey rank up there with poncho liners and jungle boots!
I'm still waiting for a response from the eBay sell to see if they will continue to get/sell these jackets for the foreseeable future. Unless I read it wrong on eBay, they currently have over 300 coats with brass Citadel buttons, and carry pouch in stock, for sale.
Looking at the manufacture's website, they do offer a black rain cape - and it is NICE. But it also comes at a higher cost and you have to order form Scotland...
