I have been doing some more research, and the Water Off A Ducks Back Cycle Cape I like the look of may be a bit small around the neck according to one review on Evans Cycles. Which is a pity, as I am not overly keen on the eye-scorching yellow or the forest green.
Of the two I think I prefer the Duxback though. I am less sure about ebay items, but they might be as good.

That's what the spats are for (which I have only just found out about - thanks Grishnak).
The benefit of both the Caradice items is that they have matching, over-the-knee, spats. Other than that, the only other decent looking spats are from Eager (
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eager-Spat...-/110639685217). There are available through SJS, but they claim only up to size 7 and that they have been discontinued.
Other than that I am edging towards the Duxback, trouble is I have no shops locally that sell anything like this which makes my indecision worse.
