That's an excellent find.
Thanks to someone in the Golf Club thread suggesting Hoggs of Fife as a cheap but decent Barbour alternative I picked a padded one up for gardening and dad duties. It's probed to be great. But that would have been perfect if I hadn't.

Best thing I bought when I started working outside was an Austrian M65 army jacket made from Sympatex, which is essentially the same as Gore Tex. £40 from an online army surplus place and it has kept me dry in some long spells of rain, while being completely breathable too.

It gets Nik Waxed every now and again but often just hosed down and hung to dry if it’s shitty from me handling stone.
