I think Musto are brilliant tbh. They look nice and are lovely and warm. They are used for sailing alot so they are water proof. Hope that helps, will let you know if I think of anything else,

lowe alpine / crag hoppers i'd recommend. i have a musto but its got no hood so i wouldn't call it a winter rain coat since it can't actually keep your head dry, warm enough...pretty useless for hiking since its only down to waist and well isnt a hiking coat, its a casual jacket

There's some good rugged outdoor gear by Barbour in Clery's these days as well.
