Answer 2

The original duster coat was a loose-fitting long coat that was worn by cowboys and other horsemen to protect their clothing from the trail dust of cattle drives. These duster coats usually had slits up the back for riding ease but often had the capability to be buttoned closed. Legs straps were included to help keep the flaps in place and later versions included a detachable cape or hood to help fight against the elements. The fabric was usually light colored canvas or linen type cloth. Eventually, the duster needed to be improved as a reliable raincoat, thus the oilskin duster or slicker was born.
