History Main / BadassLongcoat

* Mr. R from [[BoysLove Boy Love game]] ''VisualNovel/KichikuMegane'' probably qualifies. The coat is in varying shades of black and tied shut with a belt piece. It also has a high collar that [[TheFaceless hides even more of this face]] than his [[BespectacledBastardBoyfriend glasses]] (with their occasional [[ScaryShinyGlasses bonus points]]) and his [[PeekABangs bangs]].
* Not-So-EliteMooks (Helghast Stormtroopers) in ''VideoGame/KillzoneLiberation'' also wear distinguishing black coats.

** Luffy himself gets [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130210031230/onepiece/images/9/95/Luffy_Strong_World_Finale_Outfit.png an unbelievably cool black longcoat]] in the tenth movie. As if he wasn't badass enough.

* ''Manga/ShonanJunaiGumi'': Akutsu wants to get his hands on [[MementoMacGuffin the coat formerly worn by the legendary Kyosuke Masaki]], founder of the Midnight Angel gang. Before he died, Masaki gave the Oni-Baku the coat, on the condition that they make sure "Midnight Angel never rides again". When Eikichi [[LetsGetDangerous puts it on]], he becomes a OneManArmy and Akutsu's cronies think that it's the avenging spirit of Masaki come to punish them.

* The statue of Sir Robert Borden at the Parliament of Canada depicts him wearing an overcoat which, combined with his awesome moustache and its location at the edge of a hill overlooking Wellington Street, makes for one [[http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/5931518.jpg badass statue]].

* ''Series/WhatWeDoInTheShadows'': When Guillermo discovers his talent for [[spoilers:vampire slaying]], he starts wearing a trench coat alongside his usual sweatered ensembles.

* Brandon "Beyond The Grave" Heat from ''VideoGame/{{Gungrave}}'' in both the anime and video game. He wears an intricately detailed purple coat with a [[CreepyCoolCrosses large Gothic cross emblazoned on the back]]. And ''lots'' of little studs and buttons. Even in normal clothes he wears a black longcoat that is mostly prominent in the anime (in the game he's seen wearing it only in the opening and quickly changes to his "battle suit").

* Jerry Andrews of ''Webcomic/CogaSuro'' habitually wears the same dark grey coat throughout the comic's first run, even indoors, contrasting with the other cast members who usually wear t-shirts or similar. Slightly subverted in that he's the SmartGuy rather than a consistent badass.

* Roman Torchwick, the stylish StarterVillain of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''. Also, [[TheSmartGuy Blake]] after the Volume 3 TimeSkip. The new costume for [[TheBigGuy Yang]] plays with it: her jacket now has two detachable tails that when worn resemble a longcoat.

** ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'':\\
Victor sports one.

*** Part of Gambit’s wardrobe along with FingerlessGloves and a NiceHat.

* HardboiledDetective Nick Spade from ''[[Pinball/WHODunnit WHO dunnit]]'' is always seen wearing his longcoat and fedora.

* Lampshaded in ''WesternAnimation/RoswellConspiracies'', when the un-badass Fritz is overjoyed at the opportunity to borrow the Hero's "cool coat".

* Music/DavidBowie wears [[http://theblogpound.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/db.jpg two]] [[http://static.letsbuyit.com/filer/images/fr/products/original/38/41/labyrinth-david-bowie-figurines-jareth-and-hoggle_5178207_5178207_5178207_5178207_5178207-5178207.jpg different]] ones in ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}''. One is very sparkly, the other is leather. Neither one does anything to interfere with seeing his AREA.

* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': In this universe, a long brown coat was part of the standard uniform for Independent soldiers during The War, earning them the nickname "Browncoats". Mal Reynolds and Zoe Washburn are both seen in their old army browncoats. The hardcore fan element gets their nickname from here.

* Issac from ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' manages to snag himself one in the thirty year gap between it and Lost Age.

* The [[spoiler: Asha'man]] in ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' are often identifiable only by their long, black coats.

* The standard uniform of the Amestrian military in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' is designed t give the [[http://www.mangareader.net/full-metal-alchemist/7/31 illusion]] [[http://www.mangareader.net/full-metal-alchemist/7/19 of]] [[http://www.mangareader.net/full-metal-alchemist/7/10 a]] badass greatcoat.

An older variant of the trenchcoat is the [[http://images.google.com/search?q=great+coat greatcoat]], a predecessor of the trench coat but usually much heavier, and with either a wider collar that can be turned up to protect against the wind or a short shoulder cape. Later greatcoats lost the cape, becoming a longer, heavier, double-breasted overcoat, but retaining the name. Greatcoats were typically worn either buttoned, losing some of their badassitude for style, or simply draped over the shoulders without putting the arms into the sleeves, greatly ''increasing'' their badassitude. They're most often associated with 19th Century naval officers, Nazi SS officers, and Russian soldiers.
