I have this exact problem with my hubby too. Here is what I have
proposed to him and he seems close to accepting it. He has even
considered tights as long as his coat comes over his hips.

(This by Pieter the Elder)
Look up in the right hand corner of the painting and you will see a boy
with a stick raised over his head. He has on "regular" pants! If you
look around the painting you will see varying degrees of pants from
"tights" on to the afore mentioned ones. This garb is easy to make and
doesn't cost a fortune. Also, there is a great variety of overwear. If
you look through more of his (don't forget his relatives!) paintings
you will see great detail and even more choices.
Since I also ride at events I have adopted the men's skirted overcoat
and riding tights. Covers my butt!
I have also offered a cloak, which he can wear and be "incognito"!
