southwesters
Waterproof sailor headgear
Southwesters are storms or strong winds blowing from the southwest.
The term also refers to waterproof hats with a broad brim longer in back, designed to shed rain off the neck—the kind worn by sailors and fishermen in foul weather: The crew donned their southwesters as the squall approached.
