Recommend me a 100% cotton trench for about $100

Title pretty much says it all. Need a new raincoat as the one I currently have is 100% polyester (preSF purchase) and doesn't breathe. I sweat so much when I wear it I might as well not have. Please let me know if you have any recommendations.

You can probably find a Burberry on ebay for around that price. Good coat that will last you forever.

For a $100 budget -and quality- you have to go used, as suggested previously. Aquascutum or Burberry are among your better bets.
They will be 10 or more years old but they are so well made you'll have no problem finding one.
Even if it is a tad threadbear it won't be an issue. You may even find one with a removable lining.
Make certain of your intentions for the coat. Will you be wearing a jacket underneath or not will determine the sizing.

Don't forget BB--obviously used.

I have had one for years and just purchased a replacement due to forgetting it in a Barcelona hotel.

Thanks for the help all. I picked up a Burberry coat in B&S.
