History Main / BadassLongcoat

* Dib from ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'', despite being eleven years old.

** From the novels and the manga, Kurama also sports one, though without any technological enhancements. And it only shows up in one or two official illustrations, but... Gauron apparently has one as well.
* The intro for ''[[GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex Ghost In The Shell: S.A.C. The 2nd Gig]]'' shows you [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ghost_in_the_Shell_S_A_C__2nd_GIG_longcoat_9782.jpg how its done]].

* The Marquis de Carabas, from ''{{Neverwhere}}'', wears what is somewhere between a trench coat and a frock coat.
* SherlockHolmes was known to pull this off, so much so that a billowing Inverness cape is frequently associated with images of him.

'''Sherlock:''' I don't do that.\\

* ''Fanfic/{{Jericho}}'', a WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fanfiction. Invoked. Jericho wears a leather duster because cowboys wear them and cowboys are cool, thus wearing them vicariously makes him cool. [[spoiler: It doesn't make him cool. At all.]]

* Imrijka, the iconic inquisitor from ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'', could almost be a DistaffCounterpart to the DMG II half-orc. Her hat and duster, however, are [[LadyInRed bright crimson]] and considerably more ornate.

* All of ''TheBoys'' wear long black coats. In addition contrasting with the {{Badass Cape}}s the {{Smug Super}}s wear, it also helps them identify fellow team members during intense brawls.

* [[http://s196.photobucket.com/albums/aa9/Geass2/02/code196qx3.jpg Mao]] from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' wears a white great coat, studded with black belts and blue trim. [[http://code-geassr2.bandai-ent.com/characters/images/44.gif Jeremiah Gottwald]] sports an incredibly badass coat in R2, white and purple with a gold trim. Ohgi and Tohdoh wear trench coats in R2 as well.

* Aoshi's trenchcoat in ''Manga/RurouniKenshin''.

** Kuwabara gets a white one close the end of the TournamentArc, he doesn't take it off even when it gets battle damaged and bloodied.

* {{Foolkiller}} often wore a trenchcoat over his costume or disguise. Especially in the 10 issue miniseries. This incarnation (Kurt Gerhardt) was much more discreet than his predecessors. At the time this series was written, the badass image of long coats hadn't quite engrained itself, at least not in comics. In a typical urban area, a trenchcoat was still considered nondescript, mundane, unmemorable attire.

** In [[VideoGame/StarcraftII the sequel]], [[spoiler:Stukov returns as an infested Terran]]. Despite his left side's severe mutations and all the fights and/or experiments he's been through, [[MySuitIsAlsoSuper his badass coat only looks mildly worn]], like you'd expect after a few years of every-day use.

** His son Gilgamesh [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030314 does]] a little bit of this too, though [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070328 doesn't quite have his father's knack for it]]. But [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071121 he's]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071130 getting]][[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080303 there.]]

** Aden from RuneFactoryOceans wears what appears to be an older version of this.

* Caleb of the ''{{Blood}}'' series wears a dark brown one.

->'''Doyle:''' He likes playing the hero. Walking off into the dark, his long coat flowing behind him in that mysterious [[SayingTooMuch and attractive way]].\\

** After Lonesome Road, Ulysses gives the Courier one of his own called "Courier's Duster" which also has a flag on the back, but changes to the flag of whatever faction you choose to rule the Mojave.
*** To be specific, aligning with the NCR gives you a 2-headed bear, Legion gives you a Bull, House gives you an Old World USA flag, and independent gives you the symbol for Vault 21 (representing New Vegas)

* A Mage Hawke from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' wearing the [[IconicOutfit Mantle of the Champion]] sports a variant, having a battle-worn, badass tailcoat. He/she can also achieve this look with the Fugitive's Mantle from the Mage Pack DLC.

** Hotel Moscow mob boss Balalaika, who already is a HotChickInABadassSuit, wears a heavy wool Soviet Army greatcoat (which was designed to be worn in the subzero Russian winter) draped open over her shoulders on top of a low-cut dress business suit... in tropical Thailand. It exemplifies the trope.

* Hoyle wears a long, flowing black coat throughout the film ''Film/YesterdayWasALie'' (often over a [[HotChickInABadassSuit sexy business suit]]).

* The titular protagonist in ''VI Warshawski'' wears a good-looking one as part of her HotChickInABadassSuit ensemble. During the climax, the villainess also wears a badass long coat with a great scarf as well([[ScarfofAsskicking which she uses to wipe away her fingerprints]]).

The Badass Longcoat is closely associated with TheStoic and the TrenchcoatBrigade. Compare BadassInANiceSuit. Sometimes part of a HotChickInABadassSuit's ensemble. Not related to [[MemeticMutation Badass Longcat]]. Not to be confused with ConspicuousTrenchcoat, a specific type of coat that is also long, or CoatCape, where a coat is worn over the shoulder like a cape for what is often a similar visual effect.

* In ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}} [=ThunderCats (2011)=]]]'' the Duelist, a MasterSwordsman with a fondness for challenging swordsmen to a ShowdownAtHighNoon and relieving the losers of their blades, wanders around the CattlePunk Swordsmans' Town in full {{Swashbuckler}} attire, including an extremely elaborate blue, caped military tailcoat, no less intimidating for his failure to obey TheWestern's genre conventions.

** Lampshaded in ''TheBooksOfMagic'' where a meeting of mystical characters (Constantine, Dr. Occult, Phantom Stranger, & Mr. E) are all wearing trenches. (The Phantom Stranger wears a Cool Cape and suit combination, but he's still included in the group.) The trope TrenchcoatBrigade was coined by John himself.

** Razor Eddie, also from Green's novels, wears a dirty gray longcoat and routinely cuts Cosmic-caliber monsters into sashimi.

* Naru from Ghost Hunt has one as well and definitely is a BadassBookworm...[[LightningBruiser among]] [[PsychicPowers other]] [[EmpoweredBadassNormal things]].

* Komiyan from ''Darken'' in [[http://darkencomic.com/?webcomic_post=january-7th-2010-2 this scene]] where he [[spoiler: shows Tarvin/Shard that evil is indeed a [[IncrediblyLamePun cut-throat business]]]].
