The raincoat and boots are easy to find, although the hat, belt, and umbrella can be a little more challenging.  The belt is very prone to fraying along the edges and the umbrella is almost always missing the tassel.  Fun fact:  the umbrella did not open.

Of course, Skipper had a matching raincoat...

Skipper's matching ensemble was
Rain or Shine #1916
1965 - 1966
The hats are different styles, otherwise they are identical.
