Nobody in Australia has ever said 'wearing an Alaskan'. I have no clue what it means, other than from context it must be a kind of coat. I am guessing that angelo has pinched this verbatim from a non-Australian source.
I can confirm that in Queensland at least, 'winter coat' means 'light jacket'. Sometimes if there's a real cold snap here, you will even see people wearing long trousers.
Has footwear in Qld developed beyond callouses and thongs?
Sorry, I don't understand the question. What else would we have? It's too hot for boots.
