not exactly winter gear, but i'm looking for a plastic-free (materials-wise) raincoat. i would rather have animal products than any plastic.

(and, if possible, i do not want to give money to a brand that thinks shearing sheep is somehow animal cruelty)

Buy second-hand. That's the most sustainable way of shopping, and you can buy something made of synthetic materials / plastic with good conscience.

Well leather with a beeswax treatment would work well or perhaps waxed cotton.

Second waxed cotton, I've got a Kuhl waxed cotton light jacket from about 6 or 7 years ago. Still looks great, stands up to light outdoor work. Working under car in gravel, clearing brush, that sort of thing. I wear a hoodie underneath but they've got insulated options now too.
