I've just been looking at a military-style khaki drill jacket in the Hackett shop on Jermyn Street. It looks like this KD service dress jacket , but with two flap pockets at the bottom and more of a rever collar.
At £250 it's too expensive. And the fabric is quite light. I'm unlikely to get something more authentic/original in my size and I'm wondering whether Pegasus can come up with better-fitting goods.
In the same shop there was a waterproof cotton raincoat made in Italy. It's not Ventile, but it seems to be more or less the same thing. I'd heard that tight-woven cotton is available in Italy but never seen it close up. This Italian stuff is very fine. In fact, in my ignorance I thought it was microfibre at first.
This would be a good raincoat for vintage hiking/adventure purposes.
