16[[StockCostumeTraits A Longcoat is the ideal action-hero garment,]] more practical than a [[BadassCape cape]] but infinitely cooler than a sport coat or no coat. Also, a Longcoat of any level of "billowy-ness" makes an ideal cover for producing any number of weapons, tools, supplies, and whatnot. Certain styles of Longcoat are deliberately designed to distort the wearer's frame, making their wearer's access to {{Hammerspace}} almost believable to mundane eyes. This distortion of the wearer's real shape also makes it genuinely harder to land an accurate attack on them.
17
18Like capes, longcoats capitalize on the [[DramaticWind dramatic effect of having something that flutters behind you]]. It's especially effective in animated or drawn material, where the coat can be shown billowing a lot more than it could in real life (and a lot more stylishly) -- to the point that it really ''does'' look like a cape. A variant involves jackets and excessively long shirts, but having less material to billow in the gusts necessarily makes such people seem less badass. And of course, when the wearer of a Badass Longcoat [[TheCoatsAreOff takes the coat off,]] it's a sign that he's about to do some major damage -- he just doesn't want to get your blood on his coat. Additionally, a longcoat in fiction is rarely worn closed, and many are cut in such a way that closing them is impossible, giving the illusion of a broader chest and more masculine figure.
19
20The most common types of long coats are [[https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2974/1542/products/outback-trading-company-duster-coats-black-xs-low-rider-duster-2042-blk-xs-28776976220294_600x.jpg?v=1628242474 dusters,]] [[https://assets.manufactum.de/p/068/068675/68675_01.jpg/etaproof-womens-trench-coat.jpg?profile=pdsmain_1500 trench coats]] and [[https://i.pinimg.com/564x/45/27/0e/45270e4c0450353b1c35f6fd978cf284.jpg frock coats.]]
21
22Dusters are longer overall, usually reaching nearly to the ankles. Since they're designed for horseback riding, they have a long slit up the back as far as the waist, and optional leg straps so they don't billow too much in the wind or while riding. Dusters are also generally cut along fairly boxy lines.
23
24A trench coat, on the other hand, is usually more shaped, reaches to the knees or slightly below and the back slit generally only reaches mid-thigh or hip-level. Trench coats also usually feature a belt and epaulets. It should be noted that one way to tell if a trench coat indicates a spy or private investigator or is a Badass Longcoat is by whether it's buttoned and belted or not. A Badass Trenchcoat is never closed (unless it's on Creator/HumphreyBogart).
25
26An 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.
27
28The [[http://www.garbtheworld.com/images/psd2/g0112100b.jpg Inverness cape]] is a lighter garment with a very similar appearance to the caped greatcoat. The cape, however, is longer, reaching slightly past the wrist rather than only to the elbow, and an Inverness cape has no sleeves at all.
29
30Frock coats, in contrast to all of the above coats, are very exquisitely tailored coats usually made of wool, like a longer version of a sport coat, but much more formal. Variants also include, on occasion, materials such as leather and, depending on the time in which the piece takes place, even silk. As they are one of the most enduring and universal fashions in the history of men's clothing, they have many different variations in cut ranging from the square-cut [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/79/15/02/791502b0e96cbed1f46e3fa6fb834670.png military frock coats]] of the 1600s to the [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/48/83/22/488322491bf586a64a53d94142039026.jpg cutaway-style frocks]] of the mid-to-late 1700s, to the, again, square coats that every Victorian and Edwardian aristocrat can be seen wearing in all of your favorite period dramas. In all of these cases, the coat is not intended to be closed -- most of the time they don't have buttonholes -- although from the later 1790s through to around the 1870s, and later on in the 1920s, they could be worn either way. If you're watching a period piece from the 1600s to the start of World War II, chances are most, if not all, of your male characters are wearing some kind of frock coat.
31
32Please note that they are not in any way overcoats.
33
34Being that they are tailored, with pleated tails that reach down to around the knees and pleated vents that invariably end right at the waist (beneath two buttons sewn in for decoration), frock coats have a tendency to sway and billow as one walks or stands facing the wind, without the heaviness or general shapelessness of leather or canvas, which are the two materials that most trenchcoats, greatcoats, and dusters are made from.
35
36''Literature/MobyDick'' features the "long-togged Scaramouche" (an evangelical preacher who has gained moral ascendancy over his crewmates) and ''Literature/OliverTwist'' has TheArtfulDodger, making this at least OlderThanRadio.
37
38Going back even further is a coat called a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justacorps Justacorps]] (essentially the long coats of the 17th and 18th centuries; think ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''), though it has to be worn a certain way to pull off the badass look.
39
40A less modern example would be the BadassLongRobe. CoolShades are a nice accessory, as are tacking on some SignatureHeadgear and a CoolMask to achieve the CoatHatMask Effect. If the mask in question is a gas mask, then it's GasMaskLongcoat. The Badass Longcoat is often combined with [[GunsAkimbo a pair of guns]], either revolvers for a western or a pair of semiautomatic pistols or submachine guns in the modern-day and beyond, for extra effect. Some characters will pack [[TrenchCoatWarfare enough weapons in their longcoats to outfit a small army]].
41
42Longcoat-wearing heroes probably started with [[TheWestern Westerns]] (for dusters) or FilmNoir (for the classic trenchcoat), but became especially common in the public mind after ''Film/TheMatrix''.
43
44The Badass Longcoat is closely associated with ThoseWackyNazis (since Germans in war [[PuttingOnTheReich have been associated with wearing leather longcoats]]), TheStoic, the TrenchcoatBrigade, and (thanks to the [[UsefulNotes/{{Columbine}} Columbine High School massacre]]) the SpreeKiller. Compare BadassInANiceSuit, and contrast NotSoBadassLongcoat. 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. The exact article of clothing that's eschewed by someone who believes that SleevesAreForWimps.
45
46(Please note that this trope is about the ''coat'', not the ''person''. Please include information about the ''coat'' when adding examples, rather than simply listing a character. The coat is important.)
47----
48!!Examples:
49
50[[foldercontrol]]
51
52[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
53* ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'': The best assassin in the world, the Reaper (a.k.a. God of Death), wears a black longcoat, as a modern allegory to the traditional Grim Reaper cloak.
54* Claire Stanfield from ''Literature/{{Baccano}}''. In the anime, he wears it with the button closed; in the Light Novels, he wears it open.
55* ''Anime/{{Bakugan}}'':
56** Masquerade, TheRival from the first season wears a long white tench coat obviously in contrast to Dan's nice jacket and Alice's coat thing, so Alice counts too with her yellow coat.
57** Spectra Phantom the new Rival wears a red long coat with feathers all over it.
58** [[spoiler:When he returns in Mechtanium Surge he returns with an entirely new black outfit including a black long coat.]]
59** Shun even gets something like this, in New Vestroia he wears a long green vest that looks and is just as awesome as a longcoat.
60* Given the post-apocalyptic ([[EarthThatWas on Earth, at least]]) setting of ''Manga/BattleAngelAlita'', it should come at no surprise how many of its characters wear Badass Longcoats.
61** [[BadassNormal Dr. Daisuke Ido]] wears a [[HellBentForLeather leather]] trenchcoat and fedora when going out as a [[BountyHunter Hunter-Killer]].
62** Alita herself follows him pretty much, both in choice of a fashion and the material, switching to the cream-colored leather greatcoat as of mid-''Last Order''.
63** [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampires Caerula Sanguis]] is virtually never seen without either her signature greatcoat or (in the flashback) the long fur coat and pillbox hat.
64** [[HumansAreWarriors Zazie]] wears a bulky threnchcoat into her final fight in the Z.O.T.T., mainly to hide the industrial amounts of weaponry she has brought to the fight, and [[MultiArmedAndDangerous the extra pair of servo-arms]].
65** [[EvilFormerFriend Erika]] usually wears a shelter-cape when venturing to the Martian deserts as [[spoiler:Frau X]].
66* Jiro Mochizuki in ''Manga/BlackBloodBrothers'' rocks a bright red one, like a lot of these examples. Doesn't fit BringMyRedJacket, though.
67* Grell Sutcliff of ''Manga/BlackButler'', after her first appearance, wears a long red greatcoat which billows very nicely and which she doesn't pull over her shoulders, making it look a little more drapey and almost shawl-like. [[spoiler:Of course, it belonged to her partner-in-crime from her ''first'' appearance, and is a murder trophy. Sehe presumably doesn't pull it up because she ''can't'', as Madame Red had much narrower shoulders.]] [[EvilIsCool Still badass, though]].
68* Sven (while with the IBI), Train (while with Chronos) and Belze from ''Manga/BlackCat''. Here, though, Train's long black coat isn't so much a symbol of his badassitude but of his place in Chronos as an assassin; during most of the series, he wears a cropped black jacket over a long shirt, even though he's still pretty badass. Significantly, he dons his old coat again for a major showdown.
69* ''Manga/BlackLagoon'':
70** Hotel Moscow mob boss Balalaika 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.
71** Rotton the Wizard isn't a badass, but his coat is. In a badass series that lives by the RuleOfCool, Lotton is trying so damn hard to look cool and act cool, all the way down to his CoolShades and black, flaring badass longcoat, he fails so badly that even though Revy shoots him mid-entrance, she doesn't remember who he is later. But give the guy credit for being smart; the (bulletproof) coat's actually one reason he's still alive.
72** And then there's Mr. Chang, the Chow Yun-Fat character. The few times we see him in action, he's wearing a very nice black longcoat with a big white scarf that looks like it came right out of a John Woo movie. He's awesome enough to earn Revy's respect (it's natural respect: ''he'' taught ''her''), such as in one scene during the arc where he's introduced, where he stops a grenade with his foot and then kicks it right back into the throng of terrorists who threw it.
73* Most versions of the eponymous character from ''Franchise/BlackRockShooter'', long black coat with a cracked white star emblazoned at the back.
74* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
75** Ichigo's robes transform into a long-sleeved, ankle-length black coat with red lining that is body-tight to his waist and then flares out dramatically for the rest of the length. It also acts as a ManaMeter. The more damaged it is, the less LifeEnergy he has remaining.
76** The shinigami captains wear haori, a type of long coat, that often billow dramatically when they're fighting. Kyouraku, unique among the captains, has two. His captain haori is covered by a [[RealMenWearPink woman's]] kimono that is worn over his shoulders and which also billows dramatically when he fights.
77** Ulquiorra Cifer's Las Noches uniform, with two tails that sweep the floor dramatically.
78** Ishida wears something much like a great coat, to the point of having a spare cape when one is destroyed.
79** The Sternritter wear long great coats underneath their capes.
80* ''Anime/BNABrandNewAnimal'': Shirou Ogami wears a long trench coat for most of the series and is a strong crime-fighter who can transform into a wolf.
81* Osamu Dazai from ''Manga/BungoStrayDogs'' wears a long tan trench coat and we already know that he's badass. Then there's Akutagawa Ryunosuke with his long black coat and his Rashomon ability.
82* Jo from ''Anime/BurstAngel'' wears a Badass Longjacket, though she usually [[{{Fanservice}} takes it off]] during combat.
83* ''Manga/BusoRenkin'': The primary part of Captain Bravo's Silver Skin is a silver trench coat that has the [[NighInvulnerable highest defensive capability]] of any buso renkin. He can also fire it at an opponent to restrain them.
84* Mikuni Souichirou of ''Anime/CControl'' wears a badass longcoat/overcoat. [[TheCoatsAreOff He removes his coat for fights]].[[note]]He is not seen removing it.[[/note]] He has a {{waistcoat|OfStyle}} under it.[[note]]His outfit is pretty business-like.[[/note]]
85* Tooya from ''Manga/CeresCelestialLegend'' wears a trench coat (with shades and stoicism, to boot) at the beginning of the series, while he's still working for the Mikages. Additionally, he wears a labcoat when he disguises himself as a doctor at Aya's school, pulling off a couple of wicked rescues while he's there.
86* ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'' adores this trope.
87** While Chrono's normal outfit includes a long red coat with tails and a shoulder cape, he [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld appears to be]] a twelve-year-old boy, and the rest of his outfit is fairly dorky looking. However, when he goes into his badass true form of a demon he ''loses'' the coat, his coat being replaced by wings. It's possible his coat is supposed to be a visual reference to the wings he has in his true form.
88** The villain Aion is a straighter version of the Badass Longcoat. His coat is white with a dark lining and a double belt (which he always keeps open). He seems rather fond of his coat -- he's worn it since the 1870s! In his demon form his armor also has an open skirt around his pants which mimics the look (much like Remington, see below).
89** Joshua wears a long black coat with his suit that looks appropriately dramatic when he uses his demonic powers.
90** Father Remington's exorcist uniform includes an odd skirt-like cape around his pants when, combined with a jacket, somewhat mimics the effect of a badass greatcoat.
91* [[HandsomeLech Ryo]] [[HitmanWithAHeart Saeba]] from ''Manga/CityHunter'' usually dons this as part of his default dress code. It does more than make him look cool -- [[CrazyPrepared the coat also contains bits and pieces of firearms and explosives]] that [[ProperlyParanoid Ryo actually has to utilize during the series]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking plus condoms]] (this is [[LovableSexManiac Ryo]] we're talking aobut, after all).
92* [[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. 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.
93* A couple of episodes of ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' feature Spike wearing a badass duster. Notably, he tends to go for the duster when things really get serious (usually when Vicious is involved), and mainly so he can carry more weapons. The BigBad of ''Anime/CowboyBebopKnockinOnHeavensDoor'', Vincent Volaju, sports a dark one as well.
94* Hei from ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' sports a green-lined black longcoat. The longcoat is even bulletproof, but only when ''he'' wears it.
95* Watari, the [[BattleButler mysterious guardian]] and [[NumberTwo right-hand man]] to L in ''Manga/DeathNote''. He wears a [[ConspicuousTrenchcoat trench coat]], dark glasses and a trilby hat when working with L outside of headquarters to conceal his identity as a notorious inventor named Quillish Wammy.
96** Teru Mikami, Light's [[TheDragon Dragon]], wears a big black flowing one while [[MundaneMadeAwesome writing epically,]] [[VillainProtagonist Light]] himself sometimes [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lightlongcoat_4883.jpg wears a white one]], and [[MauveShirt Raye Penber]] wears a popped-collar blue-black ConspicuousTrenchcoat everyday. WordOfGod says ''Film/TheMatrix'' was a major influence for several character designs.
97* In ''Manga/DescendantsOfDarkness'', Dr. Muraki Kazutaka is almost always seen in a white trench coat, while Tsuzuki Asato sports the black variety.
98* Mephisto of ''Literature/DemonCityShinjuku'' wears a long red coat which billows out dramatically in convenient winds.
99* The first set of uniforms for the Exorcists in ''Manga/DGrayMan'' were longcoats (cross out Lavi and Lenalee, who wore a jacket and a miniskirt, respectively). The well-known black and white (silver-buttoned) longcoats were abandoned after the journey in Noah's Ark, and the Exorcists wore red and black jackets instead (save for Kanda, who just has to keep the longcoat outfit).
100* [[BlackMagicianGirl Reina]] in ''Literature/DidntISayToMakeMyAbilitiesAverageInTheNextLife'' has a Baroque-era frock coat, which is black with gold trim and cut away at the front. It's a lot lighter than other mages' heavy robes, but still gives her the typical conical silhouette of a mage.
101* Gainax's OVA sequel to ''Anime/GunBuster'', ''Anime/DieBuster'', features Dix-Neuf, a HumongousMecha that wears a gigantic duster. RuleOfCool to the max.
102** Oh, it's far more than simply RuleOfCool. Firstly, it houses rocket engines used to fly when not in screw-you-physics mode. Secondly, he can throw it off so it will form a WaveMotionGun which fires by itself. It also covers a face on his back.[[note]]the face ''also'' [[WaveMotionGun shoots lasers]][[/note]]
103* Rika/Ruki in ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' (WordOfGod: one of her early character models was a character from ''Film/TheMatrix''), and Captain Sampson/Satsuma and [=BanchouLeomon=] in ''Anime/DigimonDataSquad''.
104** For added BA points for Rika/Ruki, her longcoat is PASTEL YELLOW! And yet she still looks incredibly BA and awesome.
105* Bolt Crank from ''Manga/EatMan'' sports a floor-length trench coat while firing [[WaveMotionGun an assortment of 'uge freekin guns]] one handed. Interestingly, he doesn't actually keep the weapons in his coat. Instead, he just keeps all of his miscellaneous {{BFG}}s, {{BFS}}s, bombs, and... steam train locomotives... in a sort of built-in {{Hammerspace}} inside of his body.
106* Re-L Mayer, fitting with the cyberpunk setting, wears a black duster throughout the entirety of ''Anime/ErgoProxy''.
107* Though introduced by the very end of the story, the 2nd ending of the ''Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor: Exodus'' shows Kazuki, Soushi and the rest of the main pilots wearing the imposing navy-blue greatcoats with red piping, which boosts their Badass levels through the roof.
108* ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'':
109** Leonard Testarossa's auto-guarding coat is a good example of one. It repels throwing knives and bullets by fluttering around for a bit while all you need to do is standing there with your hands in your pockets looking smug. It does not seem to protect him from bitchslaps, however.
110** 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.
111* The standard uniform of the Amestrian military in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' is designed to give the illusion of a badass greatcoat.
112** Ed wears a red duster, but has yet to be dismembered while wearing it (his missing limbs were before the coat). Unless you count the number of times his automail has broken, but otherwise, he's good. He makes a point of wearing a red coat anywhere for various reasons (the biggest being to cover up his automail). In one chapter, as his group is [[spoiler:heading for what appears to be the final confrontation]], he buys a roll of red cloth and transmutes it into his signature jacket, most likely to show that he means business.
113*** Ed practically lives on this trope. [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZCjsPKtJo-Y/S_TAAedr1GI/AAAAAAAAByM/6dSU6v3Acaw/s1600/Edward68.jpg He wears a black trenchcoat with a white shirt behind]] after their first confrontation with Father.
114** The new Greed himself wears a black longcoat / changshan.
115** The Briggs Brigade had ''full longcoat'' for their standard uniform. In manga universe, [[JustifiedTrope there are reasons for it]], since they are [[ReassignedToAntarctica stationed in the cold permafrost of Briggs mountain,]] but for us, it shows that that they are [[BadassArmy the most badass group]] in the Amestris army.
116** Roy Mustang even tops the Amestrian uniform by wearing a coat over it, to give note of his ColonelBadass status. Granted, it's also part of the uniform, but he often only wears it around his shoulders when the weather does not indicate the need for an extra coat, and he and Hawkeye are the ones seen wearing it the most often.
117** [[MadBomber Kimblee]] combines this look with his all-white ensemble of a [[BadassInANiceSuit Nice Suit]] and [[NeverBareheaded hat]], and is easily one of the best-dressed characters in the series.
118* [[TheRival Katana]] from ''Anime/GadGuard'' wears a longcoat in contrast to the majority of the show's other main characters, who tend to prefer [[ScarfOfAsskicking scarves]] (at least, when riding their HumongousMecha).
119* Forte Stollen of the ''Galaxy Angel'' [[Anime/GalaxyAngel series]] and [[VisualNovel/GalaxyAngel games]] is the eponymous Angel Brigade's senior, most battle-hardened and possibly strongest member and resident gunslinger, and always wears a near-ankle-length frock coat in and out of combat. All the less-actiony girls wear hip-length or shorter coats, while the Brigade's other main ActionGirl, Ranpha Franboise, embodies [[AnimeChineseGirl a different trope]] and dresses accordingly.
120* Kuroudou Akabane in ''Manga/GetBackers'': long, black and very elegant. Ban Mido would fall under the "excessively long shirt" subset.
121* Ryoma Nagare from ''[[Manga/GetterRobo Getter Robo Armageddon]]'' combines this with ScarfOfAsskicking and HotbloodedSideburns.
122* Naru from ''Manga/GhostHunt'' has one as well and definitely is a BadassBookworm... [[LightningBruiser among]] [[PsychicPowers other]] [[EmpoweredBadassNormal things]].
123%%* The intro for ''[[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. The 2nd Gig]]'' shows you [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ghost_in_the_Shell_S_A_C__2nd_GIG_longcoat_9782.jpg how its done]].
124%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample, also, how does it even count, does she even at least do her usual badass schtick wearing it in the opening?
125* In the [[BaitAndSwitchCredits 5th opening]] of ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'', Takasugi is shown sporting a long dark trench coat while [[LastStand fighting hordes of aliens with Gintoki, Katsura, and Sakamoto in what appears to be a hopelessly one-sided battle]].
126* Gai in ''Anime/GuiltyCrown'' wears one as the leader of the Funeral Parlor group. [[spoiler:Shu takes it for himself and adds a ScarfOfAsskicking after Gai dies.]]
127* Brandon "Beyond The Grave" Heat from ''VideoGame/{{Gungrave}}'' in both the anime and video game. He wears an intricately detailed purple coat with a 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").
128* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl''. Triela, a cybernetic pre-teen assassin and probably the best fighter in the series, often wears long coats that go with her TwinTails, having been influenced by her handler to [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak dress in masculine clothes]]. Even after she changes to a feminine skirt she still wears the coat (in fairness, it's winter). When it's hot or she has to engage in a lot of physical activity however she won't wear it, though continues to wear a waistcoat and tie.
129* [[PsychoForHire Radinov]] in the ''Manga/GunsmithCats'' anime wears a bulletproof one but can't be bothered to keep it closed even during gunfights -- either because she carries most of her arsenal inside it or because she's [[AxCrazy batshit insane]].
130* Van in ''Anime/GunXSword'' doesn't just wear a long coat, he wears a full tailcoat.
131* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'':
132** Alucard's signature longcoat is [[BringMyRedJacket deep crimson]].
133** Luke Valentine, who wears a long white coat.
134** Alexander Anderson and the other vampire-hunting priests of Section XIII Iscariot wear grey cassocks. When their leader Maxwell is appointed head of the Crusade, he dons a dark blue one, but wears it [[NotSoBadassLongcoat tightly-buttoned]].
135** Integra sometimes wears one too; when she does, it's a brown one, styled somewhere between a trench coat and a greatcoat
136** The Major. His is a grey military-style greatcoat.
137** The Captain too, whose badass quotient is enough to easily stand up to the {{Charles Atlas Superpower}}ed BattleButler and have his tails do the bat-wing flutter even though it's a fully buttoned, double-breasted affair. Bonus points for also putting NoShirtLongJacket into play.
138* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'':
139** Romania also wears a rather nice one, though Himaruya can't seem to decide on which color is it.
140** Russia has a rather iconic one and his older sister Ukraine also wears one with her own military uniform in a
141** The Netherlands is shown wearing one.
142* Jotaro Kujo from Part 3 of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. A dark blue greatcoat style, with a tan or grey lining for added impact when it flairs out. Upgraded to a white LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine for his [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Part Four]] and [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Five]] appearances, then a purple coat with gold trim in [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Part Six]].
143* Aya and Yoji of ''Anime/KnightHunters'' both wear long coats, but it's not until the sequel series ''Weiß Kreuz Glühen'' that they upgrade to properly billowing Badass Longcoats.
144* ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' gives a longcoat to Brera Sterne in TheMovie while retaining all his levels in badass.
145* In ''Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce'', Nanoha, Fate, Hayate, Signum and Vita appear to sport trench coats as their regular attire. In Hayate's case, it's a CoatCape.
146** Fate already had this since [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikerS StrikerS]], with her Barrier Jacket in Impulse Form. Under her damn awesome, shining white cape.
147** Hayate, Dearche, Signum, Subaru and Yuri sport a battle attire similar to Archer's (see F/SN example below). Like him, they achieve an effect similar to the actual longcoats of their allies.
148** Chrono Harlaown has been rocking a black longcoat as both uniform and Barrier Jacket since the first season.
149** Cinque likes trench coats and eyepatches. Her Shell Coat has even defensive functions.
150** Erio and [[GenderBlenderName Harry]] white long coats as a part of their Barrier Jackets. Luka and Mia, two of Harry's gang, wear white coats similar to Harry's.
151** Among the Hückebein family, Cypha and Fortis have a white and black long coat, respectively. While Cypha looks definitely badass with it, Fortis has to do anything badass yet.
152* The military setting and 1930-esque era of ''Manga/MaidenRose'' mean that Badass Longcoats abound. Taki's tendency towards appearing with dramatic wind probably makes his the most prominent example though.
153* In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE'', both Flit Asuno and Woolf Eneacle wear one during Asemu's Arc. Then, during the Kio Arc and the Three Generations Arc, Captain Ash (Asemu Asuno) wears a pretty badass coat too.
154* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'': Marida has a purple overcoat as part of her civvie ensemble. When she fights Banagher the light gravity adds a lot of movement to the outfit. Unfortunately the coat is a liability in a fight as Banagher grabs ahold of her by it and drags her off the edge of the platform they were on.
155* ''Anime/MyOtome'' with Garderobe headmistress Natsuki Krüger and her dark-blue longcoat.
156** The trope also applies to a handful of Robes, chief among them Natsuki's, Haruka's, and Shizuru's.
157* Several characters in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' don one of these:
158** All the Kages officially get one.
159** Minato had an additional one of his own, with the kanji for "Fourth Hokage" written on the back.
160** Naruto wears one throughout during his fight with Pain.
161** Naruto gets a new one made of ''chakra'' when he [[spoiler:finally gains full control over Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox]].
162** The standard Akatsuki uniform consists of a black coat with red clouds. A running theme seems to be whenever an Akatsuki member is forced to discard or has their coat destroyed, they're going to die in that fight.
163** Mitarashi Anko wears a cream-colored badass longcoat. [[{{Stripperiffic}} And not a whole lot underneath.]]
164** Morino Ibiki is also usually seen wearing a longcoat.
165** Madara Uchiha's [[PowerArmor Susano'o]] sports one [[spoiler:in its complete, perfect state]].
166* Some high-ranking Marines in ''Manga/OnePiece'', since a large, white greatcoat is standard uniform issue for them: Admiral Aokiji when he was Vice-Admiral Kuzan, complete with SinisterShades; Captain Hina and Vice-Admiral Garp, although the former usually takes her Marine coat off, and the latter does it when he gets ''[[LetsGetDangerous serious]]''. Admiral Kizaru, also complete with ScaryShinyGlasses (sort of, he's always cheery, but he's every pirate's worst nightmare); Fleet Admiral Sengoku: His white Marine greatcoat is [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130901060055/onepiece/images/0/08/Sengoku_Anime_Pre_Timeskip_Infobox.png oversized.]]
167** One Piece takes the coats-are-like-capes aspect of this trope to extremes by having very few high-ranked Marines ever actually wear their longcoats. Instead, they tend to [[CoatCape drape the coats over their shoulders]], with the sleeves billowing in the wind along with the rest of the coat. Despite this, the coats ''never fall off'', even when the wearers leap through the air, fight in violent battles against dozens of pirates, or get sent flying by stronger opponents. [[RuleOfCool This is a justified phenomenon.]]
168** This trick is also practiced by Crocodile, who does it with a pimpin' fur coat. ''In the desert.'' (Justified, considering that he's made of sand.)
169** 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 [[Anime/OnePieceFilmStrongWorld tenth movie]], as if he wasn't badass enough. He later starts wearing a less cool but still impressive one in the series proper during the Wano Arc.
170** Speaking of movies, ''Anime/OnePieceFilmZ'' gives us [[RightHandOfDoom Z]] and one of his CoDragons [[FountainOfYouth Ain]], who both wear badass longcoats.
171** Dracule Mihawk also sports a very badass coat which comes in black and red, complete with a high collar that puts the "vampire" in his vampire-pirate-musketeer aesthetic. Really it's more like a jacket that happens to also be a cape, but it's functionally a BadassLongcoat all the same.
172* ''Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries'': Meowth wears a noir looking trenchcoat in ''[[Recap/PokemonS1E70GoWestYoungMeowth Go West Young Meowth]]'' giving him a mysterious, and tough look as he tells about his [[FreudianExcuse rough]] [[OriginsEpisode past]]. Along with his humanlike stance, it additionally helps to make him more distinct from the [[DittoAliens other]] Meowth in the episode.
173* Yomiko Readman of ''Anime/ReadOrDie'' appears to subvert this trope with her trenchcoat full of paperbacks, newspapers and magazines... Until you realize that a PaperMaster can do anything with that much paper on hand.
174* [[http://ja.gram.pl/upl/blogi/98610/img_wpisy/2012_17/DarknessAoi.jpg Darkness Aoi]], the closest thing that ''RingXMama'' has to a BigBad, is often wearing one.
175* Aoshi's cream trenchcoat (always unbuttoned, with the wide belt hanging/blowing in the wind dramatically) in ''Manga/RurouniKenshin''.
176* The demon general Neberios from ''Manga/SamonTheSummoner'' often wears one over a more professional looking attire.
177* Kyuzo in ''Anime/SamuraiSeven'', an SF adaptation of Kurosawa Akira's original JidaiGeki film ''Film/SevenSamurai''. Unofficially is the most skilled of the samurai, possibly exceeding the group's experienced leader, and definitely the most deadly. Sports blonde hair and a distinctive crimson-red coat.
178* In ''Anime/SandsOfDestruction'', Morte wears a long, hot pink, [[FormFittingWardrobe fitted]] coat. Agan wears a long green coat, but he's just a NotSoBadassLongcoat in the anime. The [[Manga/SandsOfDestruction manga]] does at least give him one OffscreenMomentOfAwesome at the end, and he ''did'' previously trek through a blizzard with [[ExposedToTheElements just that coat]] for protection (while Kyrie and the others who'd gone on ahead had the sense to don proper winter coats).
179* The eponymous character of ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana'' wears a long coat that also doubles as HammerSpace.
180* ''Manga/GTOTheEarlyYears'': 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.
181* ''Literature/{{Slayers}} NEXT'''s Gaav sports a suitably badass orange longcoat.
182* ''Manga/{{Sola}}'': Takeshi, who fights with a sword and darts that explode into light wears a long black trench coat.
183* Maka Albarn from ''Manga/SoulEater'' sports a kickass black longcoat with two large buttons and defined shoulders that makes for awesome emphasis whenever she jumps around.
184* Saiga in ''Anime/SpeedGrapher'' usually has one of the shorter examples, but one opening shows it billowing like a Batman-style BadassCape. The villain Suitengu has a longer one that doubles as a [[PimpDuds Pimp Coat]].
185* In his Galactic Pretty Boy persona, Takuto Tsunashi of ''Anime/StarDriver'' wears a ''[[MemeticMutation Fabulous]]'' Longcoat!
186* In ''Literature/SundayWithoutGod'', both Hampnie and Julie sport this. The ends of Hampnie's coat are rather tattered, while Julie's is in better condition.
187* In ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'', when Kirito lands the killing blow on the first floor boss, he gets a unique item drop -- the Black Cloak of Midnight. He keeps this for the rest of the series, and it is one of the reasons he becomes known as [[RedBaron the Black Swordsman]].
188** Actually, it is briefly mentioned (in the Light Novels) that he didn't actually keep the Midnight Cloak; he just replaces it with a better model later on. Always black though. Exactly ''how'' he got the one he was wearing for the finale of the SAO arc is [[NoodleIncident never explained]].
189* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' with Kamina and later on [[spoiler:Simon, while they're kicking ass in space]], who both wear these kinds of clothing. Kamina's longcoat is an interesting example in that it technically is a cape, but he usually wears it like a longcoat kind of fashion. [[TheCoatsAreOff Both come off]] in more action-filled scenes. Countless bonus points added for having the flaming skull with TriangleShades on the back.
190* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' has a few examples of this. The majority of the CCG tend to wear white greatcoats when out on missions, and some ghouls sport them as well, with a notable example being that worn by Lantern in the {{Prequel}} ''Jack''. In this case, the coat's use in practical as it helps [[spoiler:conceal her true age and [[SamusIsAGirl gender]]]].
191* ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'''s Vash the Stampede's is geranium-red duster which should warn people, but his opponents usually think he's a harmless idiot. You can buy the [[http://abbyshot.com/products/ps-stampede-duster.php red duster]] or an [[http://abbyshot.com/products/ps-leather-stampede-duster.php impressive leather replica]]. Vash has other reasons as well for the long coat: hiding the effects of heavily subverted HollywoodHealing and his black...leather...body-armour...stuff. You have to assume this stuff is really practical desert wear for some reason. Although he also just likes the coat because the red has sentimental meaning for him.
192** Actually it is practical, because as it's revealed in the manga, it has a cooling mechanism that [[SchizoTech keeps him from overheating]], [[FridgeBrilliance which is great to be perfectly honest.]]
193*** It's pretty much a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/Dune Fremen stillsuit]].
194* Abel Nightroad in ''Literature/TrinityBlood'' wears a black-with-silver-trim greatcoat that billows nicely [[spoiler:when he activates his Crusnik powers]].
195* ''Manga/VampireKnight'': Worn by [[spoiler:Rido at his battle against Yuuki and Zero.]] Kaname likes to wear these too.
196* In ''Anime/WitchHunterRobin'', the title character of the series was badass in her own right, and not coincidentally, she also wore a red long-coat.
197** Actually, ''most'' of the Hunters take to longcoats when they are on the hunt.
198* When Seishirou and Subaru are introduced in ''Manga/{{X 1999}}'', both sport badass longcoats, with Seishirou's in black and Subaru's in white.
199** Fuuma appears to have a closet just ''full'' of a wide variety of stylish longcoats. He owns one that is both black ''and'' white (very appropriate to the character).
200* In all ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' series, the main Rival (and some arc villains) will have an incredibly badass coat that has the innate ability to [[RuleOfCool defy the laws of Gravity and flare out even with no wind]].
201** [[Characters/YuGiOhSetoKaiba Seto Kaiba]] in the original series has several long coats, starting with a blue duster, then a studded purple one, before settling to his trademark white one.
202** Honda, TheBigGuy of the group, and one of the first characters to ride a motorcycle long before the spinoffs became all about card games on motorcycles, often wears a long brown trenchcoat. He's not cool enough for it to defy gravity, though, so it only flares out a little.
203** [[Characters/YuGiOhYamiBakura Yami Bakura]], [[BigBad the main villain]] of season five, changed his blue shirt for a black coat.
204*** Thief King Bakura, the past life of Dark Bakura, wears a long, red coat for the majority of his screentime.
205** Manjoume in ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' wears a black trenchcoat. In the first season, despite it being the school uniform, only his coat has the ''Anime/YuGiOh'' Rival requisite [[RuleOfCool gravity-defying flare]].
206** Darkness , also Fubuki Tenjouin, sports possibly the best one in GX-black with gold trimmings.
207** Ryo adopts a black duster after his FreakOut transformation into Hell Kaiser.
208** Judai trades in his jacket for a longer coat after coming through his BreakTheCutie arc.
209** In ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', the requisite badass longcoat is worn by anti-hero Jack Atlas, who ironically spends more time in his skintight bodysuit rather then utilizing the full dramatic effect of his coat. Further exemplified in third season, where he wears a completely over the top long coat that can only be described as a 'White [[PimpDuds Pimp Suit]]'.
210** ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'' continues the time-honoured tradition, this time with Kaito Tenjo taking up the requisite rival coat handle. While his doesn't defy gravity so much due to being pointy, it makes up for it by [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes being able to change colour from black to white when he duels]]. The Arclight siblings and Tron also have badass coats of varying length, though Tron's and V's are probably the closest to a typical Badass Longcoat length.
211** ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'' notably has Reiji Akaba eschew a coat in favor of a ScarfOfAsskicking. The wearer of the longcoat is instead Shun Kurosaki, the no-nonsense member Lancers and of the Xyz Dimension Resistance group. Also is [[PsychoForHire Yuri]], who [[AgentPeacock combines]] this with the addition of a BadassCape, WaistcoatOfStyle, and even a BadassLongRobe at one point.
212** ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS'' returned to the trend with main rival and first season BigBad Revolver/Varis wearing one in LINK VRAINS, though in real life he's underdressed if anything. Most of the Knights of Hanoi bar Spectre wear one as well.
213* From ''Anime/YuYuHakusho'' Hiei the Swordsman's jacket is a cross-breed of a longcoat and a BadassLongRobe.
214** Karasu rocks the trench coat and CoolMask look.
215** Kuwabara gets a white one close to the end of the [[TournamentArc Dark Tournament]]; he doesn't take it off even when it gets battle-damaged and bloodied.
216[[/folder]]
217
218[[folder:Audio Plays]]
219* Being that he's a parody of the HardboiledDetective, ''obviously'' Nick Danger from Creator/TheFiresignTheatre's ''AudioPlay/TheFurtherAdventuresOfNickDanger'' has one. (In live performances and the video sequel, Phil Austin would wear both the trenchcoat and the traditional fedora.)
220[[/folder]]
221
222[[folder:Comic Books]]
223* ''ComicBook/OneHundredBullets'': Agent Shepperd wears a brown trench coat as a signature piece of wardrobe and the guy proves why he's the only one in the series who deserves to wear it. It appears to be a status symbol of the trust's Warlord [[spoiler:As Lono is shown to be wearing it when he takes over the job after Shepperd is killed.]]
224* ''ComicBook/ABCWarriors'': Happy Shrapnel/Tubal Caine wears one, at least in earlier stories.
225* ''ComicBook/{{Arrowsmith}}'': The Prussian airmen's uniforms. Also various countries' infantry soldiers, who wear trenchcoats (natch).
226* ''ComicBook/TheAuthority'': The Midnighter wears one throughout his whole comics career.
227* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'':
228** The Joker has been wearing a purple or black trenchcoat since Marshall Rogers first drew the character with one in the mid-1970s. Much of the time he wears it as an overcoat and removes it when he's indoors or relaxing, but some works, like Brian Azzarello's ''ComicBook/{{Joker}}'', feature the badass longcoat as a staple of Joker's outfit.
229** Hush. The two major aspects of his costume are a BandagedFace and a tattered trenchcoat.
230* ''ComicBook/BlackPanther'': Kasper Cole, the short-lived [[LegacyCharacter new]] Black Panther, wore one over his costume.
231* ''ComicBook/{{Blacksad}}'': Blacksad does love his trenchcoat.
232* ''ComicBook/{{Blade}}'': Blade is known for wearing a black leather duster. This even extended to his time as Ronin in ''ComicBook/MightyAvengers2013'', where he actually wore one over his ninja duds.
233* ''ComicBook/TheBoys'': All of the Boys 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.
234-->'''[[SociopathicHero Billy Butcher]]:''' When in doubt, fuck-up any cunt not wearin' a coat.
235* ''ComicBook/TheDarkTower'' is the source of the page image: namely, the resident [[AntiHero protagonist]], [[{{Determinator}} Roland of Gilead]]. He wears it pretty well.
236* ''ComicBook/DesolationJones'': Desolation Jones somehow manages to look badass in a bright orange trenchcoat.
237* ''ComicBook/DoctorStrange'': Doctor Strange wore a tan trenchcoat or a green duster in ''New Avengers''. Back when he had his own title, he once modified the Cloak of Levitation into a flowing red trenchcoat with a broad collar.
238* ''ComicBook/ElMarvo'': Knuckle Duster wears a black long coat that has [[InTheHood a hoodie]].
239* ''ComicBook/{{Foolkiller}}'': 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 ingrained itself, at least not in comics. In a typical urban area, a trenchcoat was still considered nondescript, mundane, unmemorable attire.
240* ''ComicBook/GreenArrow'': Onomatopoeia wears a long, black, and definitely badass trench coat.
241* ''ComicBook/{{Grimjack}}'': Flint Henry's reincarnation of Grimjack has John Gaunt aka Jim Twilly making his entrance in a dark purple greatcoat with gold embroidery. The coat is later shown to hold about 50 lbs. of guns and edged weapons when he is busted by robot cops.
242* ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'': John Constantine wears a wrinkled, beat-up looking khaki trenchcoat in line with a hardboiled detective or noir antihero.
243** Lampshaded in ''ComicBook/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.
244--->'''Constantine:''' ''Just'' what the world's been waiting for. The ''Charge of the Trenchcoat Brigade.''\
245'''The Stranger:''' I ''heard'' that, John Constantine.
246** In the storyline ''The Devil's Trenchcoat'', John's long coat had a life of its own, and powerful demonic powers, by years of being with John.
247* ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}'': Hellboy typically wears a tan trench coat, which was intended to give him a more world-class look.
248* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'': Joe Fixit often wore a purple trenchcoat, especially during the period of time where he was still repressing the Bruce Banner persona and exposure to sunlight weakened him.
249* ''ComicBook/JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac'': Johnny steals one from a store after [[spoiler:being sent to Hell.]]
250* ''ComicBook/JonahHex'': Jonah Hex sometimes wears a classic duster and sometimes an Army greatcoat.
251* Dwarfing nearly every other example in the DC universe is ComicBook/LadyShiva, whose coat has varied between being red or purple, but is always as badass as its wearer, who was the undisputed most dangerous fighter on earth until her own daughter surpassed her.
252* ''ComicBook/{{Morbius}}'': In his second solo series, Morbius [[OurVampiresAreDifferent the Living Vampire]] "borrows" one from a man on the subway during his fight with Noah, and is seen wearing it later on.
253* ''ComicBook/{{Nextwave}}'': Most members of the Nextwave Squad [[CivvieSpandex wear longcoats over their "normal" superhero outfits]]; and, amusingly, most have kept them in subsequent appearances.
254* ''ComicBook/NickFury'': Nick Fury has been known to wear a brown trenchcoat over a three-piece business suit, or more usually his SHIELD jumpsuit.
255* ''ComicBook/PainkillerJane'': Jane is usually depicted wearing a red or black leather duster.
256* ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'': [[TheJuggernaut The Saint of Killers]] has been described as "a one-man holocaust in a duster coat," [[ImplacableMan and]] [[NighInvulnerability with]] [[InstantDeathBullet good]] [[TheGrimReaper reason.]]
257* ''ComicBook/ThePunisher'': The Punisher has been known to wear black leather longcoats, especially in the stories written by Creator/GarthEnnis.
258* ''ComicBook/TheQuestion'': The Question's coat is so badass that he wears it as a civilian ''and'' a vigilante, though it changes color from nondescript brown to vibrant blue when the Question goes into action. He uses special laundry detergent which, combined with the gas he uses to make his mask stick, reacts chemically and makes his clothes change colour.
259* ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'': Dream wears one. It's black, long enough to drag on the floor, and has a really great collar. It also billows strangely, regardless of wind or movement. {{Justified|Trope}}: Dream is a very dramatically inclined AnthropomorphicPersonification, and making his coat billow dramatically in the wind (even without wind) would be right up his alley. Depending on his mood, who's drawing the comic and which character is perceiving him, it can change into a BadassLongRobe.
260* ''ComicBook/SinCity'': The heroes have also been known to don the Badass Longcoat.
261** Marv's longcoats tend to get ripped to shreds during big fights, requiring him to find another big longcoat, usually off a bad guy. There was a one-shot where he wakes up in a new coat, with no memory of where he got it and tries to work out where it came from.
262** Dwight [=McCarthy=] from "The Big Fat Kill" combines the badass longcoat with GunsAkimbo.
263** Wallace habitually wears a trenchcoat that comes to his ankles and earns bonus points for the fact that he is also a RetiredBadass and has BarbarianLonghair.
264* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'':
265** Doctor Octopus has been doing this since before it was cool, though his coat is more of a Badass Labcoat. After a while, they changed his look into a high-tech looking jumpsuit (the Nineties), but the white coat remained part of his "''classic''" look, up until they brought back the old style.
266** In ''ComicBook/SpiderManNoir'', this is Spidey's own look -- he modified it from Uncle Ben's WWI pilot uniform!
267* ComicBook/TheSpirit would sometimes add a trenchcoat to his trademark blue suit.
268* ''{{ComicBook/Static}}'' always wears a one over his super suit that matches his color scheme.
269* ''ComicBook/{{Tintin}}'': The title character often wears a trench coat.
270* ''ComicBook/{{Trese}}'': The fabric that would become the coat was a baby shower gift for the eponymous prophecy child, having protective runes drawn into it. The coat itself has some snazzy sling-like Chinese-button fasteners.
271* ''ComicBook/{{Uber}}'' gives badass Soviet Maria 'Katyusha' an equally badass longcoat.
272* ComicBook/UltimateMarvel's Bombshell wears a long white coat as part of her superhero outfit. She likely got the idea from her mother, who wore a similar coat in her career as a super-crook.
273* ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'': Rorschach's brown trenchcoat is iconic to the character, adding to his hard-boiled detective look. It also serves as a nice contrast with the [[BadassCape capes]] his fellow superheroes wear.
274* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
275** ComicBook/{{Gambit|MarvelComics}} is seldom seen without his brown longcoat, the sleeves of which being a perfect place to store his [[DeathDealer signature weapon]].
276** Prodigy of ''ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX'' has a white one. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d when his friend Elixir ribs him about it and says that he can't tell if Prodigy is trying to copy Gambit or Film/{{Shaft}}.
277** Jubilee has a yellow one.
278** Iceman sports one for a short time during ''ComicBook/UncannyXMenChuckAusten''. [[AwesomeButImpractical It breaks away when his powers are activated]].
279[[/folder]]
280
281[[folder:Fan Works]]
282* In ''Fanfic/AmazingFantasy'', the Prowler wears a longcoat compared to her comic counterpart's cape. It's emblazoned with the kanji for "risk" and danger" to emphasize her ThrillSeeker tendencies.
283* In ''Fanfic/TheButcherBird'', [[VillainProtagonist Yoshimura Kaneki]] eventually gets his hands on one of the Marine officer coats from the Manga/OnePiece example above, and immediately replaces the [[LawfulStupid 'Justice' (正義) insignia]] with [[PayEvilUntoEvil 'Retribution' (冥罰)]]. Part of his stated reason for doing this is to [[TheGadfly annoy the Marines who currently have to tolerate his presence]].
284* The ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' fanfiction [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5127152/1/Chess "Chess"]] featured a pine marten in an embroidered black trench coat. [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief Who cares]] that trench coats are a bit out of place in ''Redwall''? [[RuleOfCool IT'S AWESOME.]]
285* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has a couple, most notably Harry Dresden and his big black duster.
286** Wanda Maximoff has a long red trenchcoat. [[spoiler:The Cloak of Levitation later takes this form in the sequel when she succeeds Doctor Strange]].
287** Thor briefly wears a longcoat designed by Janet Van Dyne.
288** The Winter Soldier has a black three-quarter-length coat of his own.
289** [[spoiler:Harry]] as the Dark Phoenix includes one as part of some more masculine alterations to the classic costume.
290** Gambit has a tatty brown trenchcoat which, it is noted, probably shouldn't work but somehow does.
291* [[ClockKing The Sacred Order of Timekeepers]] from ''Fanfic/ChronomistressOutOfTime'' wears double-breasted coats, apparently color-coded to indicate rank.
292* ''Roleplay/DCNation'': The first thing Travis Grey did upon pickpocketing a Franchise/GreenLantern ring was to create a costume for himself; black shirt, black leather pants, and one Badass Longcoat of black leather. The only green on him is his ring and Corps symbol. (This might be because Travis is blind). The ''second'' thing he did was start rounding up crack dealers and scaring the shit out of the local gangs.
293* ''Fanfic/{{Dial}}'' has Hawkeye wear one with his version of BRIDGE's standard-issue [[AdaptiveArmor Armor Gear]].
294* Pretty much the entire cast of ''Fanfic/DigitalHigh''. Noticeably, the author dresses Shadow in it, which is a trait usually used by a different EvilCounterpart. Sans also uses his sweatshirt as a CoatCape.
295* Alim Surana in [[Fanfic/DragonAgeTheCrownOfThorns this]] ''Franchise/DragonAge'' fanfic has one. It's made of suede and leather and is dyed black. He didn't originally have it, but the Warden Commander decided that, since Alim is the most powerful out of all of them, he should have an appropriately badass attire. He seems to have made it a habit of generating his own DramaticWind whenever he's in the center of attention too.
296* [[BigBad J.Z.]] in ''Fanfic/ErinsTotalMagicalAdventure'', wears a black leather duster which he bought for 200 bucks -- some think he's a cowboy because he wears it.
297* By the same author as ''Fanfic/DigitalHigh'' is ''Fanfic/FalloutNewWorldHope'', which has all three protagonists use a different one. One wears a duster, one wears a trench coat, and one wears a lab coat. The third even switches it out for a leather jacket eventually. [[spoiler:And he appears to be getting the old lab coat back post-HeroicSacrifice]].
298* ''Fanfic/FriendshipIsMagicalGirls'':
299** Applejack has a knee-length duster as part of her mahoushoujo outfit.
300** [[TheDragon Eskarrg]] wears a leather longcoat as part of his all-black outfit.
301* ''Fanfic/HowToDrillYourWayThroughYourProblems'': Comes with the territory of being a ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' fanfic. Part of both Will/Lagann's, as well as [[spoiler:Taylor/Owl's]] uniforms.
302* InvokedTrope in ''Fanfic/JerichoMLP''. [[FirstPersonSmartass Jeri]][[SociopathicHero cho]] himself wears a leather duster because cowboys wear them and cowboys are cool, thus wearing one should also make him cool. [[spoiler:It doesn't make him cool. At all.]]
303-->"One always overcompensates for disabilities. I've been thinking of having my entire body surgically removed. But until the day that happens, I'll just stick to wearing awesome outfits; [[LampshadeHanging they make me feel cool]]."
304* Kyon's greatcoat in ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'', [[InMediasRes first in the prologue and gaining it about twenty chapters later]].
305* During the third story of the ''Fanfic/MyHostageNotYours'' series, Zim starts wearing an Irken longcoat when he begins conquering Earth.
306* In ''Fanfic/MyHuntsmanAcademia'', The Admiral is a ranking officer in the White Fang who wears a tattered old Atlesian Navy uniform as a trophy from his past raids on Atlesian ships during the Faunus Rights Revolution.
307* ''Webcomic/NaruHinaChronicles'':
308** Hinata buys Naruto one taking inspiration from the coat he earned in Sage training. Hiashi notes how suspiciously similar it is to the Fourth Hokage's coat of office, and also [[StrongFamilyResemblance the strength of the family resemblance]] when he wears it.
309** Hanabi gains one as part of her mission gear. It goes surprisingly well with the crop-top and short shorts that comprises the rest of her mission gear.
310* In ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'', the longcoat is a common feature of the Good Hunter and his band of apprentices' attire, all of whom form a BadassCrew who provide the bulk of the action in the original version by kicking tons of butt with [[MixAndMatchWeapon trick weapons]].
311* ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': [[spoiler:Vix-Lei chooses a long black duster as part of her Fall Formal outfit.]]
312* In ''Fanfic/TheRainsverse'', the Elements of Harmony provide their Bearers with very nice all-weather cloaks in colors matching the Elemental gems.
313* [[CoolOldGuy Big Boss]] wears one of these in ''Fanfic/StrayDahne'', and another character comments on the garment's dramatic value.
314* Takeru Takaishi wears one of these in the ''Fanfic/TamersForeverSeries''.
315* ''Fanfic/UnityFinmonster'': [[Franchise/TheIncredibles Violet]] wears one as part of her new Ultraviolet costume.
316* ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse'': As a Captain in the World Government's Navy, Chaser Kiyoshi wears the standard impressive jacket with the kanji characters for "JUSTICE!" emblazoned on the back. But her version is different, in that it's also lined with interwoven metal plating that makes it double as a suit of armor and a [[ImposedHandicapTraining training aid]]. This explains her fondness for [[TheCoatsAreOff dramatic coat-shedding]] when she gets into a fight.
317* The entirety of the Oogakari clan from ''Fanfic/YetAgainWithALittleExtraHelp'' wear these, with only [[GenkiGirl Shadow]] not having flames at the bottom.
318[[/folder]]
319
320[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
321* The BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'', Yokai, wears an ankle-length black coat with a prominent collar to help throw off attempts to identify him.
322* ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'': In addition to having Sephiroth reappear wearing his signature longcoat, the movie also introduces Yazoo who wears a longcoat that looks just like Sephiroth's. Cloud and Tifa's skirt-like things seem to echo the effect of his.
323* In ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'', Basil wears an Inverness cloak much like Sherlock Holmes.
324* Lord Shen the peacock from ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'' manages to pull this off with his ''tail feathers''.
325* In ''Film/OsmosisJones'', Thrax has one that doubles as a ''glider''.
326[[/folder]]
327
328[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
329* [[ActionGirl Selena]] in ''Film/TwentyEightDaysLater'' wears a long, brown coat at first.
330* ''Film/TheABCsOfDeath'': The Hooded Man in the "S" segment gets his name from the longcoat he wears, which includes [[InTheHood a hood that obscures his face]].
331* Chris rocks a nice long brown coat throughout ''Film/AdventuresInBabysitting'', which she pairs with an [[ScarfOfAsskicking equally awesome long rainbow-colored scarf.]]
332* An unglamorous version is shown in the opening of ''Film/BabylonAD'', with Toorop striding through a [[CyberpunkWithAChanceOfRain rain-drenched]] ArmsFair wearing a camouflaged poncho.
333* Doc Brown in ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'', for his first appearance: [[ShootTheRope shooting the rope hanging Marty]], and forcing Buford Tannen and his gang to back down. He wears it for the remainder of the movie, and it does look badass, especially when he's enacting the Western archetype of leaping from car to car on a train he's about to hijack.
334* ''Film/BadBlack'': One of the uncle's kung fu-wielding friends (who later fights Ssali when he first tries to attack Black's hideout) is wearing what seems to be a white medical lab coat. He certainly rocks the style, though.
335* ''Film/TheBasketballDiaries'' features [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2e3frGx8sw a dream sequence]] (one that became very much HarsherInHindsight after UsefulNotes/{{Columbine}}) in which the protagonist bursts into his school to mow down bullies and his teacher with a shotgun while wearing a black leather trenchcoat.
336* Mark and Ken Gor from the ''Film/ABetterTomorrow'' series wear black fabric trenchcoats. Ken's badass quotient is doubled by the fact he wears his twin brother's old ''bullet-hole riddled'' badass longcoat in the final action sequence. The main bad guy of the first movie, Shing, wears a ''white'' badass longcoat. After the release of the first film wearing similar coats became a trend among young men in Hong Kong, and the style of coat is still sometimes referred to as "Brother Mark's Coat".
337* ''Film/TheBigLebowski'': The Dude's bathrobe fits this trope in a weird kind of way. As the movie is a parody of FilmNoir detective stories, it's probably supposed to resemble a gumshoe's traditional trenchcoat.
338* The replicants in ''Film/BladeRunner''.
339* The title character of the ''Film/BladeTrilogy'' has a longcoat in all his incarnations. Starting with [[Film/BladeII the second film]], it's got a red lining.
340* [[BigBad Carnegie]] from ''Film/TheBookOfEli'' sports a pretty badass longcoat that completes his goth image. Eli also wears a green one that is eventually passed on to his protege, Solara.
341* In ''Film/TheBoondockSaints'', Il Duce wears a longcoat to hide his arsenal of revolvers. The [=McManus=] brothers wear peacoats, which reach their thighs, as part of their working-class Boston Irish style.
342* Jason Bourne wears a longcoat throughout ''Film/TheBourneSupremacy''. Russian FSB agent Kirill wears a leather longcoat during the Moscow car chase sequence.
343* Many characters in ''Film/BramStokersDracula'' wear one, notably Van Helsing and Quincy Morris. During the film's final act, where the vampire hunters are racing Dracula to his castle, ''everyone'' is wearing one, signifying the entire group [[TookALevelInBadass taking a level in badass]]. The Count also has a couple, notably a gorgeous topcoat (which he wears upon arriving in London), and the famous blood-red robe which trails along the floor.
344* In one of the first scenes of ''Film/BrotherhoodOfTheWolf'', a pair of Great Coat-wearing badasses (with the added conceit of tricorner hats) lay waste to a group of soldiers harassing an old man and his daughter in the pouring rain.
345* Jade ends ''Film/BulletproofMonk'' in a Badass Longcoat. It helps that she has been kicking ass the entire movie.
346* Carlito Brigante with his black leather trenchcoat in ''Film/CarlitosWay''.
347* Eric Draven in ''Film/TheCrow1994''. He takes it off Tin Tin, the first of the guys responsible for murdering him and his fiancee. He sets it aside when he finishes them off... and after it's filled with holes from about five hundred bullets.
348* ''Film/{{Darkdrive}}'': Falcon wears a slick black longcoat for no other reason than to make him look cool. He doesn't really live up to it, as he's repeatedly beaten up by mooks.
349* In ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', Bane rocks a fur-trimmed long coat for the second half of the film. A lot of work went into the coat, and it definitely shows.
350* All of the Blackwater Gang wear long dusters in ''Film/DeadInTombstone''. As does Satan when he appears on Earth.
351* The mercenary leader Hanover in ''Film/DeepRising'' sports such attire throughout the first half of the film. He loses it halfway through, as it's easier to travel through the bottom of a water-filled cruise ship without it.
352* ''Film/DustDevil'': The Dust Devil is seldom seen without it.
353* In ''Film/EndOfDays'', Satan wears a sleek black longcoat in his human host and is ''very'' fond of it. He himself is virtually indestructible to begin with, so he hires a protection squad specifically to prevent ''the coat'' from getting damaged by Christian warriors and Jericho shooting holes in it is a BerserkButton for the Devil.
354* In ''Film/EscapeFromLA'', Snake is given a special all-black outfit to wear for his mission, which includes a long black trenchcoat. Unfortunately, it gets stolen by a mook early on, but Snake runs into the same mook near the end and makes a point of stealing it back from his corpse.
355* The ''Film/FantasticBeasts'' series is a huge fan of this trope -- nearly every character gets their own. There's Newt's off-grey and blue coats, Tina's grey one in the first film, and then her badass black leather trench in the second, Queenie's pink floor-length, Jacob's brown one, Grindelwald's black, the leather trench coats of the Aurors, Dumbledore's corduroy number, Seraphina Picquery's black coat with the bedazzled thunderbird insignia on the back, and the velvet and leather long coats of Grindelwald's acolytes, namely Vinda Rosier, Krall, Carrow, and Abernathy.
356* In ''Film/AFistfulOfDynamite'', early Irish nationalist John Mallory wears a longcoat packed with explosives on the inside.
357* {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d momentarily in ''Film/TheFugitive'' when Frederick Sykes (a.k.a. The One-Armed Man) comes home to find his house full of badass-longcoat-wearing US Marshals -- "What the hell is this, a trenchcoat convention?!" It's funnier because Sykes himself... is also wearing a trenchcoat.
358* William 'The Butcher' Cutter from ''Film/GangsOfNewYork'' wears badass frock coats in several colors. His nemesis [[http://www.mixedreviews.net/maindishes/2002/gangsofnewyork/priest.jpg Priest Vallon]] also wears a longcoat.
359* In ''Film/GhostRider2007'', Carter Slade wears a long black duster. The flowing-out-behind-him aspect shows up best in the "Final Ride" scene ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dgWhYIDabk starting at about 1:00 in]]), and makes a striking contrast to Johnny's waist-length tight-fitting motorcycle jacket.
360* ''Franchise/GIJoe'':
361** Snake Eyes briefly gets a black badass longcoat for ''one scene'' in ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseofCobra''. [[MerchandiseDriven This being G.I. Joe]], it's included in an [[http://www.theterrordrome.com/forums/download/file.php?id=4715&mode=view action figure]], too. The Baroness has one as well.
362** Cobra Commander gets one in ''Film/GIJoeRetaliation''.
363* In ''Film/GirlVsMonster'', the monster-hunting parents wear trench coats when they're out hunting monsters just 'cause it's cool.
364* The titular character of ''Film/AGirlWalksHomeAloneAtNight'' wears a Badass Chador to great effect.
365* Played with by Blondie in ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''. He wears a badass longcoat (in the form of a Confederate Army greatcoat) for most of the film until he gives his coat to a dying soldier. Rather than disturb the corpse, he [[IconicOutfit picks up a nice looking patterned serape lying nearby]], which had become part of the Man With No Name's trademark outfit by that film.
366* Both of titular characters in ''Film/HanselAndGretelWitchHunters''.
367* The team of assassins in ''Film/HarleyDavidsonAndTheMarlboroMan'' all wear black bulletproof coats.
368* The ''Film/HarryPotter'' films have a number of aurors, Order of the Phoenix members, and ministry of magic workers who are often seen wearing trench coats and long coats, often as business attire.
369* Jason Dean in ''Film/{{Heathers}}'' sports a black longcoat throughout the entire film.
370* The eponymous hero of ''Film/Hellboy2004'' wears a brown trenchcoat over black clothes as he does in the comics, though in the comics it's intended to help portray his average, blue-collar joe sensibilities.
371* ''Film/Hero1997'' has Ma Wing-jing wearing a cool-looking trench coat in the finale... [[TrenchcoatWarfare concealing what appears to be a dozen guns and several bundles of dynamites]], which he uses to waste more than 30 enemy mooks in the subsequent shootout. Unsurprisingly, this coat shows up on most of the film's DVD covers and posters.
372* In ''Film/{{Highlander}}'', pretty much all Immortals wear coats. For example, Connor [=MacLeod=] wears a typical trenchcoat in the present-time scenes. Unusually for a trenchcoat, he wears it open with the belt dangling. Then again, he needs something long to conceal his sword in TheEighties' [[BigApplesauce New York]], and he needs to draw it quickly occasionally.
373* Linda in ''Film/HollowMan'' wears a good-looking calf-length leather jacket in several scenes.
374* In each of the first two ''Film/HomeAlone'' films, Kevin's mom wears a badass full-length overcoat that subtly underscores her {{Determinator}}/MamaBear nature. Likewise, the burglar Harry's getup in each film consists of a grungy calf-length overcoat, which along with a [[ScarfOfAsskicking thick scarf]] and a [[SignatureHeadgear wool beanie]], is a nice look for him, despite him being a bumbling crook.
375* ''Film/HoodedAngels'': Just about everybody in either [[AmazonBrigade the Angels gang]] and Wes's posse wears some sort of duster, covering the full range of styles: from the plain canvas ones worn by Hannah and Wes, through the shaggy buffalo fur one worn by Billy, to the very feminine and fashionable maroon one with silver conches sported by April.
376* In ''Film/InTime'', the Timekeepers, and most prominently the antagonist Raymond Leon, wear longcoats.
377* ''Film/JamesBond'':
378** BigBad Raoul Silva dons one in the climax of ''Film/{{Skyfall}}''.
379** M wears one in the climax of ''Film/{{Spectre}}'', especially visible when he confronts then fights TheMole C.
380** In ''Film/NoTimeToDie'', Bond wears a Massimo Alba Duster coat during the chase in Norway, where he demolishes the entire pursuing enemy force bar BigBad Safin in his helicopter.
381* Matsu, the protagonist of the ''[[Film/JoshuuSasori Female Prisoner Scorpion]]'' series, wears a variety of long, black fabric coats; unusually, she buttons them to the neck. The one featured in ''Jailhouse 41'' is belted, with a large, ornate gold buckle.
382* In ''Film/KingArthur2004'', the Saxon chieftain (a major badass in his own right) runs around in a longcoat so cool, he easily overshadows any other character.
383* ''Film/AKnightsTale'': Geoffrey Chaucer is fond of wearing these. He starts out wearing a rather ratty version, which may have previously belonged to [[PosthumousCharacter the late Sir Ector]], and gets a much fancier one after the team get rich winning tournaments. Prince Edward also sports one with some very regal embroidery on the front when he [[BigDamnHeroes shows up to free William from the stocks]].
384* 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. Behind the scenes, it served the practical function of hiding the professional juggler who was hand doubling for the juggling scenes.
385* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'': Aragorn wears a forest-green Ranger Coat for the better part of the film series, up until he forsakes his Ranger side and becomes the King of Gondor.
386* Aussie bushrangers ''Film/MadDogMorgan'' and ''Film/TheOutlawMichaelHowe'' both wear duster coats. Music/MickJagger wore a velvet tailcoat when portraying [[Film/NedKelly1970 Ned Kelly]].
387* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
388** ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'': Say what you will about the Red Skull, but he makes that SS coat look good.
389** ''Film/TheAvengers2012'':
390*** Nick Fury wears a black leather duster in because he's yet another character played by Creator/SamuelLJackson!
391*** Loki, the [[BigBad main villain]], wears an Asgardian variation on a long black coat -- his coat is embellished with shiny metal and [[ColorCodedCharacters green and gold]] accents.
392** In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'', Star-Lord, Yondu Udonta, and the other Ravagers wear red, ankle-length coats.
393** In ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', Hawkeye sports a new outfit which has a relatively short coat.
394** In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', Scarlet Witch sports a new outfit with a long red coat.
395** In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', Gamora's main outfit includes a duster.
396* A good 75% of the characters in ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' trilogy wear them. Quite possibly they're the main reason for the current popularity of the Badass Longcoat. Most of them are black leather dusters because it's easier to render dark objects against dark backgrounds. In ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'', the Twins wear white longcoats to set them apart. Neo's longcoat changes to something resembling a cassock in the sequels, [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory probably intended to make him look more like a priest]].
397* In ''Film/{{Mimic}}'', the badass giant insects look like people in longcoats.
398* It helps that ''Film/MoonChild'' has many slow-motion gunfight scenes, thus allowing Sho's long, white coat to flare out behind him in all its badass glory.
399* ''Film/MortalKombatTheMovie'''s portrayal of [[Franchise/MortalKombat Shang Tsung]] has him wearing a black longcoat for most of the movie.
400* From the ''Film/MutantChronicles'' movie, Sgt. Mitch Hunter's incredibly shiny coat qualifies.
401* Lisa in ''Film/MyCousinVinny'' rocks a stylish and sexy long black leather jacket/trenchcoat in a few scenes.
402* Mister Furious from ''Film/MysteryMen'' wears a black overcoat, drives a black motorcycle and refers to himself as the "lone wolf".
403* In ''Film/OnceUponATimeInTheWest'', Cheyenne says that "Nobody around these parts got the guts to wear those dusters except Cheyenne's men... and Cheyenne's men don't get killed."
404* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'':
405** Jack Sparrow wears an ensemble that sometimes includes a knee-length coat.
406** All of the main villains in the series love them too. Yes, ''all of them''. It seems to be a prerequisite of being a BigBad in one of these films.
407* In ''Film/Priest2011'', the vampire Black Hat wears a brown duster.
408* In ''Film/TheProphecy'', all angels (who are definitely badass) wear some kind of longcoat. It is interesting that the type of garment reflects the personality of the wearer: benevolent Simon is shown in gray woolen greatcoat, relentless Uziel wears black duster, silver-tongued Lucifer is portrayed in a slick coat while psychotic Gabriel prefers an unbuttoned cassock.
409* Frank Castle looks pretty badass in his longcoat at various points during ''Film/ThePunisher2004''.
410* In ''Film/RazorsTheReturnOfJackTheRipper'', the Ripper wears a tattered greatcoat that swirls around him as he menacingly advances on his victims.
411* Alice rocks an awesome ankle-length duster throughout ''Film/ResidentEvilExtinction'' and pairs it with an equally badass ScarfOfAsskicking.
412* {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in ''Film/RustlersRhapsody'' when the narrator notes that western villains always have thugs who wear "raincoats" in the desert.
413* ''Film/TheShadow'': The title character's long black greatcoat is so badass that it deflects bullets.
414* The title character of ''Film/Shaft2000'' wears a black leather trench coat that's every bit as badass as he is.
415* Parodied in ''Film/ShaolinSoccer'' when the poverty-stricken characters dramatically assemble on a rooftop. One wears a ratty bathrobe that catches some DramaticWind in slow motion like a badass longcoat would in such a scene.
416* Creator/MichelleYeoh sports a white metallic finished trenchcoat as the titular motorcycling vigilante in ''Film/SilverHawk'', a Hong Kong martial arts/superhero hybrid.
417* ''Film/SinCity'': A big part of the series' noir aesthetic is the popularity of trenchcoats. Marv's RunningGag is stealing the trenchcoats of people he kills. Whenever he remarks, "That's one fine coat you're wearing," it's a sign that he's about to kill the person. Dwight and Hardigan also rock the longcoat.
418* Most of the pilots in ''Film/SkyBandits'' wear calf-length leather flying coats. The commander of the German airship is wearing a black leather trenchcoat.
419* ''Film/SleepyHollowHigh'': The HeadlessHorseman wears a long leather riding coat. Unfortunately, his badass-itude is somewhat undercut by [[FashionVictimVillain the rest of his costume]].
420* For another villainous example, ''Film/SpiderMan2'''s Doctor Octopus wears a long coat and pairs it with CoolShades.
421* The Octopus in ''Film/TheSpirit''. In the denouement, he's wearing a badass long ''fur'' coat. Why? Cause he's Creator/SamuelLJackson!
422* ''Film/StakeLand'': Mister sports one of these. In the finale Martin sports a black one, symbolising him having become a hunter in his own right.
423* In ''Film/StarshipTroopers'', Col. Carl Jenkins wears an important [[PuttingOnTheReich SS-looking]] longcoat when his key role comes of finding out that the brain bug is scared.
424* ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'':
425** Harrison likes wearing futuristic trenchcoats. Near the end of the film, he even ''steals a replacement'' someone left on a chair.
426** The redesigned Klingons wear longcoats with their helmets.
427* Creator/StevenSeagal is very well known for wearing trenchcoats at the climax of his films.
428* Lampshaded in ''Film/StraightToHell''.
429-->''"Get the longcoats, boys!"''
430* Bryan Mills from ''Film/{{Taken}}'' puts a black one on for most of the movie and some of the publicity material has him in it.
431* In ''Film/TheThirdMan'', [[ActionSurvivor Holly Martins,]] [[IAmVeryBritish Major Calloway,]] and [[spoiler:[[TheSociopath Harry Lime]]]] wear trenchcoats, longcoats, and plain-old coats.
432* In ''Film/Titanic1997'', Rose wears a floor-length pink jacket once the ship starts sinking that looks pretty badass on her. She even [[TheCoatsAreOff takes it off just as she is about to wade into the water with the axe to free Jack]] in typical action-heroine fashion. Later, Cal's jacket, which looks merely okay on him, looks badass on her once she starts wearing it, perhaps because it is a few sizes too big for her and thus looks longer and thicker on her. The ship's officers and Thomas Andrews also look pretty badass in their full-length overcoats.
433* In ''Film/{{Tombstone}}'', once he begins his vendetta ride, Wyatt Earp takes to wearing a tan duster. It's most noticeable when he blows away "Curly" Bill Brocius and a half dozen other Cowboys.
434* In what must be the best use of KibblesAndBits ever, Crosshairs appears to be wearing a duster coat in ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction''.
435* In ''Film/TronLegacy'', Clu and Kevin Flynn both have one. Clu's even has TronLines, while Kevin simply has the interior parts glow.
436* In ''Film/UncleBuck'', the titular character has a long tweed overcoat, which he wears for some of his moments of badassery (like meeting Maizy's assistant principal and [[spoiler:searching for Tia at the house party]]).
437* Selene in the ''Film/Underworld2003'' films is an archetypal ActionGirl who wears a black leather longcoat with a SpyCatsuit. In ''Film/UnderworldAwakening'' she makes a point to break into a store ''so she can get a new longcoat.'' This one isn't made of leather, so she ditches it when she comes across a leather one.
438* In ''Film/{{Utu}}'', the VillainProtagonist RebelLeader Te Wheke wears a captured military greatcoat, and the BountyHunter Williamson wears a duster.
439* The titular protagonist in ''Film/VIWarshawski'' wears a good-looking one as part of her 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]]).
440* ''Film/WesCravensNewNightmare'' is the first and only time [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]] appears in a long coat, in addition to the usual striped sweater.
441* The weasels from ''Film/TheWindInTheWillows1996'' wear Badass Longcoats in a dark yellow color. They wear them to complete their elegantly evil outfits; the coats are a huge feature of the costume.
442* Invoked in ''Film/TheWorldsEnd'' by Gary, who wears a black longcoat to try and appear cool. Its shabby condition, however, make him look like the worn-down ManChild he is. [[spoiler:In his final appearance after the apocalypse, it actually does look pretty cool.]]
443* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
444** Nightcrawler wears one in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''.
445** ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'':
446*** Victor sports one.
447---->'''Wraith:''' I'm not Bradley, Victor. [[LampshadeHanging I'm not scared of your creepy black coat.]]\
448'''Creed:''' You should be. Dukes was.
449*** Part of Gambit’s wardrobe along with fingerless gloves and a hat.
450* Hoyle wears a long, flowing black coat throughout ''Film/YesterdayWasALie'' (often over a sexy business suit).
451[[/folder]]
452
453[[folder:Literature]]
454* ''Literature/AmericanGods'' with the "new god" of the Internet. He wears a black longcoat in a ShoutOut to ''Film/TheMatrix'' but is an unpleasant, physically weak nerd.
455* Subverted in ''Literature/TheBartimaeusTrilogy'': Nathaniel tries to evoke this trope, with mixed results.
456* The elder Whistler sisters in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' ride home wearing greatcoats.
457* Mr. Dorian, a magician and ringmaster on his book of origin's titular train, ''The Boundless'', absorbed gunshots and pulled various items from his signature coat.
458-->'''Mr. Dorian:''' A good coat serves many purposes.
459* Franchise/CarmenSandiego has that awesome red one!
460** The [[WesternAnimation/CarmenSandiego 2019 reboot]] [[JustifiedTrope justifies]] why she still wears it even in settings where it'd realistically be too hot to wear a trenchcoat: ''it has lots of pockets''.
461-->'''Carmen:''' A lady needs her tools.
462* Commissar Literature/CiaphasCain ('''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!''') in Creator/SandyMitchell's novels of the ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' setting, who kicks ass and takes names while wearing a huge, red-sashed and gold-trimmed greatcoat, complete with [[CommissarCap natty cap]].
463* While not a long coat exactly, Gerald Tarrant of the ''Literature/ColdfireTrilogy'' wears calf-length, medieval-style tunics, and he's fairly badass.
464* Literature/ColtRegan typically wears a black duster when on the job, mostly because it looks cool.
465* [[PrivateDetective Pablo Astoria]], from ''Literature/ConcienciaYVoluntad'', is dressed in a trenchcoat permanently, although with at least two good reasons: the ever raining city in which he lives, and [[RuleOfCool because it's fucking cool for a private eye.]] He certainly knows how to handle a gun.
466* ''Literature/CrystalRain'' and its sequels by Creator/TobiasBuckell features the immortal cyborg killing machine Pepper, whose preferred garment is a trenchcoat.
467* Roland Deschain from ''Literature/TheDarkTower'' (pictured above), though he seems to lose it at some point, as later books don't address anything of the sort.
468* ''Literature/TheDiamondAge'': Carl Hollywood is an American cowboy living abroad in future Shanghai. He's very tall and wears a duster as part of his typical ensemble. When the city gets overrun with zealots, he and several other immigrants fight their way to safety.
469* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'', which runs on tropes, several characters have one. One of the most notable is Mr. Gryle, a Banshee, and he seems to wear it a little bit too easily; it helps to realize it's actually his wings. Another is the Ghost [[spoiler:the one who's Walter Plinge]] in ''Literature/{{Maskerade}}''.
470* Miron in ''Literature/DoraWilkSeries'' wears his long coat for every occasion, no matter how unpractical it might be.
471* Zayne Balthine of the ''Literature/DreamscapeVoyagerTrilogy'' sports one that features numerous hidden pockets and holsters. Black coats are the unofficial uniform of the mercenary band to which he belongs, but there is no regulation cut to them.
472* Orson Gregory from ''Literature/TheDreamsideRoad'' wears one -- an oddly practical example, as it is lined with armor, resistant to both bullets and bladed weapons. Form and function!
473* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': Harry Dresden famously sports a duster, despite frequent mocking from other characters. He's enchanted it to be bullet and knife resistant so he always has it whenever possible, regardless of how unfashionable it is. It's not, however, ''impact''-proof, as he notes on one occasion after being shoulder-checked by an enormous muscle-y brute. He's gotten it to the point that the impact is spread out across his body, which any physics student can tell you reduces the pressure of the impact substantially, but whenever possible he prefers to throw up a magical shield to defend himself instead, as those are both much more powerful and reliable. Plus, something like a high caliber bullet may not be stopped by the coat, and any part of him not covered by the coat is still vulnerable, so it's best not to risk it. After his duster gets destroyed later on in the series, one of the other characters makes a special point of buying him a new Inverness coat. Everyone who knows Harry approves of the purchase.
474* In ''Literature/Echoes2014'', Dynara and Murrough wear long white coats to signal their positions as head of EDPA departments. Dynara is the Commissioner of the Field Agents' Corps, and Murrough is the Captain of EDPA Security.
475* [[EnigmaticMinion Sabbath]] from the ''Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures'' wears a loose, grey, military-style overcoat, like Napoleon wears (which is rather amusing considering the fact he's [[NapoleonComplex described as not particularly tall]] at first, although he [[DependingOnTheWriter suddenly becomes very tall]] in later novels). It's ironic because he thinks the military is absurd. (Since he was choosing his clothes to convey anti-authoritarian irony back in the 18th century, that might just make him the first hipster.) Not everyone is impressed; Anji considers it "stupid" and "embarrassing" and guesses that, like his name, he "thinks it's cool". He occasionally pulls various weapons out of it.
476* ''Literature/ElsabethSoesten'': The title character sports a long brown leather coat over her shirt, doublet and hose.
477* ''Literature/FelixCastor'' makes frequent use of a Cossack-style greatcoat, citing the carrying capacity that's necessary for the tools of his trade as a freelance exorcist.
478* The same coat keeps turning up in Creator/StevenBrust's novels, usually on coachmen. The best description is in ''Literature/FreedomAndNecessity'': "Last week I found my most treasured item of clothing...a vast and possibly antique driving coat, rusty black, with deep turned-back cuffs and a high-standing collar, and a pair of pockets so large that I could drop one of Mr. Colt's pistols in each and hardly grudge the room. It swallows me up nearly to the ankles... As his boots were to Puss, so this coat is to me. I assure myself that I seem a latter-day [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Turpin Dick Turpin]] when I've got it on, though I may in fact look a quite modern scare-crow."
479* In ''Literature/HopeAndRed'', Red thinks his longcoat is one of these: "deer leather, finely tanned, and soft as velvet." His friend Nettles refers to it as his "mole rat coat," though, so maybe not.
480* ''Literature/InCryptid'': Dominic De Luca wears a leather duster, a classic outfit for a HunterOfMonsters.
481* A ''civilization'' of them in Sherwood Smith's ''Literature/{{Inda}}'' series. All Marlovan warriors wear long, gray dusters designed for riding.
482* ''Literature/KnavesOnWaves'' has Captain Trigger, who is never seen without his faded naval coat.
483* In the ''Literature/LockwoodAndCo'' books, the eponymous Lockwood often wears long coats that billow in the wind and generally make him look cool.
484* Badass Bow Street Runner Literature/MatthewHawkwood is usually described as wearing a long riding coat, even when he is not on horseback.
485* Both [[TheGunslinger Joseph Carrion]] and his [[TheApprentice apprentice]], [[ActionGirl Dhampinella]], wear black longcoats in the ''Literature/MediochreQSethSeries''.
486* ''Literature/TheMemoryWars'': Nathan Shepherd wears a long, hooded coat [[spoiler:made from his deceased father's old duffel coat]]. The lining is lightly armored, so it offers protection as well as concealing any weapons he's carrying.
487* The coat quixotic Ariane wears in Greer Gilman's novel ''Literature/{{Moonwise}}'' is described thus:
488--> "She wore her ruffianly greatcoat, caped and cuffed and quite staggeringly heavy, of moleish dusky wool, with rather fewer silver buttons than designed. It hung to her heels. With the wooden spoon she brandished, striding and swirling, it gave rather a Dulle Griet air of absurd panache, of rag-and-bone fantastical swagger: ''so boldly did I fight, me boys, although I'm but a wench.''"
489* The Marquis de Carabas, from ''Literature/{{Neverwhere}}'', wears what is somewhere between a trench coat and a frock coat.
490* John Taylor from Simon R. Green's ''Literature/{{Nightside}}'' series wears a long ''white'' coat. It even has a self-destruct in it, which sends it up in flames if it gets too far from his body. Green gave a reasonably plausible justification (let a significant personal possession get loose, and you're likely to have all sorts of magic nastiness come down on you), but the reader suspects he had tongue firmly in cheek while writing that one...
491** John's probably kidding when he tells servants he'd prefer they not take his coat because he hasn't fed it recently. ''Probably''.
492** Razor Eddie, also from Green's novels, wears an incredibly dirty gray longcoat and routinely cuts Cosmic-caliber monsters into sashimi.
493*** The Nightside has a few characters who wear these. There's probably something in the air. Two of the more prominent examples are Dead Boy, who is dead, and wears a purple greatcoat; and Hadleigh Oblivion, the Detective Inspectre, who deals with crime that threatens reality itself, and has a black leather longcoat.
494* ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'': In ''The Titan's Curse'', Percy briefly wears a golden-brown duster made from the Nemean Lion's invulnerable pelt. [[spoiler:He ends up sacrificing it to Poseidon so Bessie the Ophiotaurus and Grover back to camp, sadly. But it still counts.]]
495* Wiliam, the Lone Sowordsman, sports a long leather longcoat over his armor in ''Literature/APracticalGuideToEvil''. The [[VillainProtagonist main character]] even lampshades it [[note]] [[MetaGuy along with every other trope in the story]][[/note]] when she meets him for the first time. It so blatantly marks him as a [[TheHero Hero]], she thinks that TheEmpire should have arrested him at the city gates.
496* In ''Literature/QueensOfGeek'', Taylor's [[ShowWithinAShow Queen Firestone]] cosplay includes a black trenchcoat with a crown sigil sewn on the back.
497* In some medieval cultures, long surcoats were worn over armor, and show up in medieval romances, epics, and other martial literatures of those cultures. So, for example, in ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'', the generals all wear "battle robes" as an outer layer, and at one point Lu Bu's is even described as fluttering in the wind. The samurai of ''[[Literature/TheTaleOfTheHeike The Tale of the Heike]]'' wear something similar.
498* ''Literature/{{Shadowboy}}'', Doctor Omicron's heavy black labcoat pulls double duty as one. Being worn over a life support suit, it confers no functional benefit, but he keeps it for style.
499* ''Literature/SherlockHolmes''' title character was known to pull this off, so much so that a billowing Inverness cape is frequently associated with images of him.
500* ''Literature/SpectralShadows'' has a few characters who don these, such as Spike Malone, Richie Blackthorn, and -- only for the duration of the ''Somebody Else's Dream'' plot -- Jasper Phillips. Apparently, they're tailored so that the animal tails don't get in the way.
501* The title character of ''Literature/TruemanBradley'' has inherited the trenchcoat and fedora his grandfather used to wear while doing detective work. Later, he gets a yellow trenchcoat and hat so he can look like ComicStrip/DickTracy.
502* Barnaby Gold, TheGunslinger hero of ''Literature/TheUndertaker'' series of novels, still dresses as he did when he was an undertaker; including a black-caped greatcoat.
503* Dimitri Belikov from ''Literature/VampireAcademy'', is often seen wearing a long, black coat as part of his attire. Lampshaded in ''Last Sacrifice'', when [[spoiler:Rose gives Dimitri a hard time about leaving his duster behind after the guardians invade the Mastrano house, trying to capture Rose and Dimitri]].
504* ''Literature/WaxAndWayne'' has the "mistcoat," a longcoat whose lower half is cut into tassels that flare dramatically when the wearer moves. These are a successor to the "[[BadassCape mistcloaks]]" worn by Mistborn in ''Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy'', which follow the same design principles. The main protagonist reclaiming his during the climax cements his role as a one-man-[[TheCavalry Cavalry]].
505* ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'': The Asha'man wear long black coats as a NonUniformUniform, with collar pins denoting rank, and are an organization of OneManArmy {{Magic Knight}}s.
506* ''Literature/TheWitches'': The hotel manager Mr Stringer is described as a bristly man in a black tail-coat.
507* ''Literature/WordsOfRadiance'' (second book of ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive''): Kaladin gets a cloak with the Kholin glyphpair on it when Kaladin [[spoiler:is promoted to captain of Dalinar's guard]]. He spends most of the book not wearing it, due to believing he's not worthy of it for all his many mistakes.
508* ''Golden in Death'' by J.D. Robb, features Lt. Eve Dallas, Homicide, wearing this for a no-knock warrant on a homicide suspect's home. It's at her husband's suggestion, "to complete the look".
509[[/folder]]
510
511[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
512* ''Series/TwentyFour'': Jack wears one for most of the second half of the first season during his investigation of the Drazen family. He also sports a khaki one during the first few hours of the seventh season.
513* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' Season 3 gives us the BigBad, Hive rocking a black duster after [[spoiler:restoring Grant Ward's body]], which given the fact it vaguely looks like a priest, adds to his CreepyAwesome cult leader character. The first scene with him wearing it even slows down so we can see it in a slow-mo FemaleGaze.
514* Parodied in an ''Series/AllThat'' sketch. The leader of a LegionOfDoom has a BadassLongcoat, and ''won't stop talking about it''. Furthermore, his only superpower seems to be able to make his longcoat even longer (complete with DramaticWind). His cohorts end up leaving when they realize that he won't shut up about it.
515* ''Series/AmericanIdol'': Adam Lambert in the Season 8 performance finale wore a [[http://l.yimg.com/l/tv/us/img/site/73/09/0000057309_20090519234506.jpg long, black trench coat]] with fog machines while singing "Mad World". It didn't necessarily make him badass, though.
516* ''Series/{{Andor}}'': When Cassian returns to Ferrix after character growth from a petty con man trying to find a place to live and keep his head down without attracting Imperial attention to someone invested in fighting for people's liberty and coming home to rescue an old friend from the local Imperial garrison he dons a visually striking brown longcoat.
517* ''Series/{{Angel}}'': Angel's black leather longcoat is badass enough to stay that way even when it's being worn by a muppet-Angel in the episode "Smile Time". And in "Guise Will Be Guise", Wesley is forced to impersonate Angel. By the end of the episode, Wes has become so badass that he's giving orders to everyone while Angel stays in the background griping that he'd like his coat back.
518* ''Series/Babylon5'' and ''Series/{{Crusade}}'': All of the Ranger characters wore long dusters, usually black or at least dark in color. Chiefly seen worn by the character Marcus Cole.
519* ''Series/BillyTheExterminator'': Used by Billy as part of an improvised bee suit he used in Season 1. Along with a snowboarding mask and a feather boa. The entire getup worked quite well with the exception of the boa, as the bees were able to crawl through it and sting him several times in the neck.
520* ''Series/TheBletchleyCircle'': The four ladies in this BBC series all frequently wear long coats and they all look sexy and badass in them.
521* ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'': Skad's a BadassBiker who has a long jacket on as part of his outfit.
522* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
523** Angel started wearing one after losing his soul and turning back into Angelus.
524** Spike. The coat was an explicit symbol of his badass-ness, taken from Slayer Nikki Wood when he killed her. In fact, one of the marks of Spike's BadassDecay was that he put the coat away towards the end of the sixth season. In a mid-Season 7 episode of ''Buffy'' he realizes that he's turned into a wimp, [[HesBack so he pulls the old coat out and promptly starts kicking ass.]] He's never without it again, his BadassDecay briefly halted by the act. It is destroyed by an explosion in "The Girl in Question", [[StatusQuoIsGod only to be quickly replaced by the staff of W&H Rome.]]
525** Towards the end of the show, Buffy herself adds a long coat to her UnlimitedWardrobe.
526** Spoofed in Season 7 with Andrew, who wears a longcoat similar to Spike's, but, decidedly, is ''not a badass.'' He's still a bit of a wimp and later gets bitchslapped by Willow (and not even the Evil One) in an alley. She does this with a ''lecture'', without ever actually laying a hand on him, scares him shitless, and takes him prisoner. While he's wearing the longcoat.
527** There was also the MonsterOfTheWeek "Der Kindestod" (The Child's Death), a vaguely humanoid creature with a hideous face and some aspects of an old man (wrinkly skin, white hair). He wears a longcoat.
528* ''Franchise/CarmenSandiego'' has that awesome red one!
529* ''Series/CriminalMinds'': Milked for all it's worth in the fantasy/noir sequences of the episode "True Night".
530* ''Series/DarkShadows'': Barnabas Collins was an Inverness-cape-wearing vampire.
531* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
532** The title character knows the value of a Badass Longcoat:
533*** The Third Doctor regularly wore a badass Inverness coat, and some badass opera cloaks, too.
534*** The Fourth Doctor ditched his red jacket in favour of a rather lovely purple velvet frock coat in his costume update in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E3PyramidsOfMars "Pyramids of Mars"]], and continued wearing frock coats almost exclusively from then on as Creator/TomBaker preferred the silhouette (his favourite was the chestnut-coloured velvet one, because it was very full-skirted and swung dramatically as he moved). In his final season, he switched to a heavier greatcoat, designed to billow in a swashbuckler-style manner. He also got an Inverness cape in one story, though one much more colourful and in line with his usual style than the Third Doctor's one.
535*** The Eighth Doctor wears a knee-length frock coat.
536*** The alternate Ninth Doctor from the official WebOriginal serial ''WebAnimation/ScreamOfTheShalka'' wears an impressive greatcoat.
537*** And of course, the Tenth Doctor sports a camel-colored long coat as part of his silhouette, given to him by Music/JanisJoplin. The pockets are BiggerOnTheInside. (In the ''Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures'' books, the Doctor cops to having used no such elegant solution — he just rips out the lining of his pockets, turning the whole lining of his coat into one big pocket.)
538*** The Eleventh Doctor occasionally wore a green greatcoat starting from Series 6, alternating with his tweed jacket. And in Series 7, he started wearing a purple frock coat.
539*** The Twelfth Doctor has a whole collection of these, but his most iconic one is a black tailored longcoat with red inner lining.
540*** The Thirteenth Doctor wears a pale blue hooded longcoat with deep blue inner lining. It's also got a rainbow strip where the two colours meet, and a blue strip at the bottom.
541** Captain Jack Harkness bursts onto the scene in Series 3 with his greatcoat swirling around his ankles. When he comes back a season later, he's still got it.
542** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E10VincentAndTheDoctor "Vincent and the Doctor"]] gives Creator/VincentVanGogh of all people one: the long coat he wears when he goes to paint the church where a monster is lurking, and which he later faces the monster in.
543* ''Series/Dracula2013'': Lady Jayne often has a long leather coat on, usually while fighting, which whirls around her while she's [[LadyOfWar beating opponents gracefully]].
544* ''Series/TheEqualizer'': Robert [=McCall=] is rarely seen in an episode without at least once wearing either his black or grey trench coat. Almost never closed unless he was out in bad weather.
545* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'':
546** John Crichton's increasing badass-ness on ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' is symbolized by his abandonment of his IASA civvies and taking up of a Peacekeeper long black coat.
547** [[BigBad Scorpius]], in his badass ''tailcoat''.
548** Aeryn gets a moment so badass with her longcoat it ends up in the opening credits for a long time.
549* ''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 Washburne are both seen in their old army browncoats. The hardcore fan element gets their nickname from here. The browncoat appears on Nathan Fillion again as his Hallowe'en costume in the second series of ''Series/Castle2009''.
550* ''Series/{{Fringe}}'': Olivia regularly wears a long, black coat; Peter, Broyles, and Nina Sharp also occasionally wear them.
551* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
552** Jaime Lannister mostly wears these, when he's not wearing his shiny Kingsguard armor.
553** The tabard Jon wears is evocative of this trope. Played more straight after he's elected as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
554** Nasty and abusive as the guards of the Dreadfort such as the Master Torturer may be, they do have some rather nice long coats and hoods on them, a very fitting and imposing winter attire.
555** Tywin has a black leather one in Season 3 and there is a reason he's considered as the BigBad by the Starks instead of Joffrey or Cersei.
556** Daenerys dons a grey mink fur-lined asymmetrical robe during the Field of Fire 2.0, then a silver-white number for a flight beyond the Wall.
557** The clothing worn by Balon Greyjoy, Yara Greyjoy, and some of the men of House Greyjoy are heavily reminiscent of this, making them look less like Vikings and more like pirates. The costume department put a lot of thought into this (Michele Clapton said the Ironborn were probably her favorite region she designed for), rationalizing that the Ironborn spend most of their time on cold wind-swept ship decks at sea, so they need to wear heavy long coats water-sealed with wax and fish oil to protect against the bone-freezing winds (they are ''not'' operating in warm Caribbean waters).
558*** Balon wears one and it makes him look like the pirate he is.
559*** Euron sports one during the Kingsmoot and is a charismatic badass.
560*** Yara wears the ubiquitous longcoat and breastplate of the Ironborn. Suffice it to say, she pulls it off with aplomb.
561* ''Series/{{Garo}}'': The Badass Longcoat is part of a Makai Knight's standard uniform in this {{Toku}} series. The title character wears a very cool white longcoat when he's not in armored mode. Rekka wears one to show that she considers herself the equal of a Makai Knight, even though she's not allowed to become one because she is a woman.
562** Ryuga, Garo from the sequel Series/GAROTheOneWhoShinesInDarkness wears an equally cool black longcoat. His fellow makai knights Takeru and Aguri also wear longcoats, that are less ornate, but no less badass.
563* ''Franchise/{{Highlander}}'': This franchise has a lot of these, starting with Connor [=MacLeod=] in the first movie. Not only do the dusters look cool, but they also provide a convenient HandWave for how Immortals [[{{Hammerspace}} pull their swords out of nowhere]].
564* ''Series/{{Interceptor}}'': The titular Interceptor from this short-lived game show wore a long black coat. This made him easily identifiable for the contestants, though in some cases he took it off to disguise himself.
565* ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'': Parodies the longcoat on several occasions.
566** Frank wears a trenchcoat to a secret parking garage meeting with Charlie, who interrupts to remark on how cool the trenchcoat looks.
567** Mac buys a black leather duster because he thinks it makes him tough. At one point he thinks it will help him kick down a door. When Charlie wants a try at the door, he demands that he get to wear the duster. Mac ends up hitting Charlie against the wall while Charlie wears the duster.
568** Mac's will demands that his duster be burnt after his death, but Dennis insists on keeping it for himself. When asked why he [[NoShirtLongJacket wears the duster over a bare chest]], Dennis testily explains that the look is irresistible to women.
569* ''Franchise/KamenRider'':
570** ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'': Ren was never without his black leather coat, whose billowing was even seen as part of his transformation. Actually mocked in an interview where all the riders did their transformation poses, and Shinji's actor waved the bottom of his shirt around for the same effect.
571** ''Series/KamenRiderWizard'': The titular hero wears one in the winter and actually has one built into his suit when transformed. Later Riders who use Wizard-themed "Legend Rider" powers also gain the longcoat.
572** ''Series/KamenRiderExAid'': As mentioned above, Genm's Wizard costume has a longcoat. The costume was later [[PropRecycling recycled]] into suits for Chronus (the series' BigBad) and Ex-Aid's movie-exclusive VRX Gamer form.
573** ''Series/KamenRiderBuild'': Sento is quite attached to his plain beige Colombo-esque coat that's implied to have a hidden HammerSpace housing his Build Driver and [[TransformationTrinket [=FullBottles=]]]. He tends to waved it when making a dramatic introduction for himself or his new discovery. So much so, Ryuga emulates him a couple of times by flapping his jacket, basically doing what's described in Ryuki's entry above, but with serious intention.
574* ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'': [[ActionGirl Sara]] [[BadassNormal Lance]] wears one per her new White Canary costume.
575* ''Series/LifeOnMars2006'' and ''Series/AshesToAshes2008'':
576** Gene Hunt wears a long camelhair longcoat in the Seventies; in the Eighties, he's traded it for a long black trench coat, just as badass and reflecting his AntiHero status.
577** Keats's grey trenchcoat would seem, at first, an aversion -- he's not that badass in the beginning. But when his true nature is revealed? Yes.
578* While Miles Hawkins only wore the exosuit in the series proper, the original ''Series/{{MANTIS}}'' tv movie has him wear a nice suit and a trench coat over it.
579* ''Series/MacGyver2016'': [[HollywoodHacking Riley Davis]] starting in season 5 pretty much lives in her leather trench coat.
580* ''Series/{{Miracles}}'': Alva Keel often wears a dark longcoat and while he doesn't stuff his full of firearms, he's usually the member of his PowerTrio that ends up killing people/demons/etc.
581* ''Series/TheMeetingPlaceCannotBeChanged'': Gleb Zheglov often wears [[HellBentForLeather black leather]] [[http://www.interfax.by/files/2013-05/20130508-181912-214.jpg trenchcoat]] and fedora befitting his role of a CowboyCop in the post-war crime-riddled Moscow. [[BuddyCopShow His buddy]] [[ByTheBookCop Vladimir Sharapov]] mostly still wears his army uniform, so is also often seen in the Red Army issue greatcoat.
582* ''Series/Merlin2008'': King Uther Pendragon often sports a black leather badass longcoat, unusual for a king in the Dark Ages. His son, Arthur, occasionally rocks a rather nice ankle-length brown coat.
583* In ''Series/TheMusketeers'', the [[BadassCrew entire Musketeer regiment]] gets decked out in leather and Aramis gets a long form-fitting leather frock coat ("flowing" and "sensual", according to the costume designer).
584* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': Ziva David wears them on occasion, ranging from a short black trenchcoat to a grey long coat (similar to the style worn by Neo in Matrix II & III) with red lining. She also has them in neon colors like green and orange.
585* ''Series/NoOrdinaryFamily'': VillainOfTheWeek Theo wears a billowy overcoat and has very effective control over this PlayingWithFire powers.
586* ''Series/OnceUponATime'': Several characters wear frock coats in one form or another, including, but not limited to, Rumpelstiltskin, Killian, Jefferson, Victor, and even Regina (though hers are more like overcoats).
587* ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'' and ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'': Anubis "Doggie" Cruger/Shadow Ranger and his tokusatsu counterpart Doggy Kruger/[=DekaMaster=] both sport longcoats when not transformed. [[TheCoatsAreOff Doggie ends up tossing his off when he morphs!]]
588** Also from Franchise/SuperSentai, [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Mikoto Nakadai]] and [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Captain Marvelous]]
589** [[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Gunpei Ishihara]] tried wearing one, but it didn't work -- it led to him being mistaken for a drug dealer.
590** The SuperMode from Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger added a badass, long, white coat to the suits, while Hyper Mode added a gold-trimmed red one. [[spoiler:Takeru gets a black variant as [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Gedou Shinken Red]] in the crossover Vs. movie with ''Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger''.]]
591** And then comes [[Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger Xiao Longbao/Shou Ronpo]] who not only wears one but keeps it when transforming into Ryu Commander.
592* ''Series/{{Revolution}}'': Captain Jeremy Baker, Major Tom Neville, and Miles Matheson go around wearing longcoats.
593* ''Series/{{Sanctuary}}'': John Druitt is rarely seen without his black leather longcoat.
594* ''Series/TheSchoolNurseFiles'': Ahn Eun-young wears a lab coat as her school nurse's unifrom. It flutters behind her as she fights.
595* ''Series/ScrapheapChallenge'': Robert Llewellyn wears a greyish one...and looks strangely fit in it.
596* ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'': Sherlock Holmes. The dark blue tweed Belstaff, classically cut, has the sort of swirling tails one needs.
597-->'''John:''' Oh please, can we not do this, this time.\
598'''Sherlock:''' Do what?\
599'''John:''' [[LampshadeHanging You being all mysterious with your... cheekbones and turning your coat collar up so you look cool]].\
600'''Sherlock:''' ...I don't do that.\
601'''John:''' Yeah you do.
602** Unsurprisingly, the coat has become extremely sought-after, to the point where Belstaff reissued it for a limited time after the first series premiered, and it is now being credited with [[http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/news-features/TMG9026030/Its-elementary-lets-have-Holmess-coat.html bringing classic tweed coats back into fashion]].
603* ''Series/{{Shoestring}}:'' Eddie's boss, Don Satchley, tries to invoke this trope by having him pose in a trench coat and fedora for publicity photos.
604--> '''Eddie''': No hat. It doesn't even fit!\
605'''Don''': Yes, the hat. It's the [[Creator/DashiellHammett Sam Spade]] image!
606* ''Series/{{Skins}}'': Franky Fitzgerald, from this British TV show, wore a black longcoat during the first episode, which helped her gain the nickname "Franky Badass".
607* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'':
608** In season nine, [[spoiler:Clark Kent takes to wearing one of these with an all-black ensemble. Badass, but not his color or style. How about something figure-hugging in red and blue?]]
609** Lex rocked the badass longcoat.
610* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'': Wraith officers tend to wear [[HellBentForLeather long, black leather coats]] as opposed to the pants and muscle shirts of the warriors.
611** Also, the series' most memorable human villain, Acastus Kolya, who wears a long black coat when not in uniform.
612** ''Trinity'': Ronon and Teyla in black coats. The show's two most badass characters in long, black coats -- simply badass. And while everyone wears [=BDUs=] off-world, Ronon tends to wear a coat instead.
613** The Mooks are specifically called "Longcoats" for their...long coats.
614* ''Series/StargateSG1'':
615** Parodied in the episode "200", when Teal'c imagines himself as a Badass Longcoat detective.
616** In the Season Six episode "Nightwalkers", Carter, Teal'c and Jonas Quinn show up in a small Oregon town, all three wearing long, dark leather coats. Way to go, guys, could we look any MORE threatening and sinister?
617* ''Series/StrangeEmpire'': Kat wears one constantly and is a dangerous gunfighter.
618* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Castiel]], the warrior of God, is modeled after John Constantine wardrobe-wise (overcoat and all). Being an angel, Castiel's clothes have the added bonus of self-repairing damage from gunshot blasts and stabbings and magical dry cleaning for bloodstains.
619** Crowley wears a knee-length overcoat with his suit to add to the shades of WickedCultured he invokes as a high-ranking demon.
620* ''Series/TheThickOfIt'': Malcolm Tucker wears a flowing black coat, most notably when vowing to his [[UsefulNotes/{{Whitehall}} Number 10]] colleagues "YOU WILL SEE ME AGAIN" and then walking out of Number10 as it billows after him.
621* ''Series/TinMan'': The soldiers of the WickedWitch are called "Long-coats" and wear black leather dusters. Unfortunately, they attended ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy so they are only bad-ass versus unarmed peasants. Cain (the eponymous Tin Man) and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Glitch]] are straighter examples. [[HoYay Ish.]]
622* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'': Captain Jack Harkness wears a [[http://z.about.com/d/scifi/1/0/m/1/-/-/03Torchwood_333x500.jpg Royal Air Force greatcoat]] as part of his iconic 1940s-style ensemble. Rhys Williams refers to him as "That bloke with the coat" several times. Naturally, after being blown up one of his major priorities is replacing it. During one Comic-Con, actor John Barrowman joked with the cast of ''Series/{{Spartacus}}'' that because his character always wears a longcoat, he doesn't have to watch his diet like they do.
623** At one point, he tells an appreciative waiter that the three of them should go out for a drink sometime.
624--->'''Waiter:''' The three of us?\
625'''Jack:''' Yeah. You, me, and the coat.
626* ''Series/WalkerTexasRanger'': The opening credits feature Creator/ChuckNorris in a tan canvas duster, even though he's much more likely to be wearing a cattleman's short coat, a sheepskin jacket, or a leather vest during the episode.
627* ''Series/TheWalkingDead2010'': The Governor, Jesus, and Ezekiel are the most well-known examples. Carol also briefly gets one in Season 4, and Eugene wears one for a large part of Season 8 (although in his case, it's not so much "badass" as it is "wannabe").
628* ''Series/TheWire'': Omar Little uses a duster to conceal his kevlar vest and double-barreled shotgun while robbing drug dealers.
629* ''Series/WhatWeDoInTheShadows2019'': When Guillermo discovers his talent for [[spoiler:vampire slaying]], he starts wearing a trench coat alongside his usual sweatered ensembles.
630* ''Series/TheXFiles'': Badass Longcoat is nearly omnipresent for the series as both bad guys and good guys wear them frequently. Trenchcoats are justified in-universe as the investigations are often conducted in foggy, damp climates. Needless to say, it also looks awesome.
631** Agent Mulder wears a trench coat in several episodes and he's a highly capable FBI agent. TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness considers him an extraordinary threat to their plans.
632** Scully wears a long coat quite often too. It helped [[HideYourPregnancy hide Gillian Anderson's pregnancy]]. She also wears a lab coat when she performs an autopsy, and she looks very badass while doing so. Autopsy rooms and science stuff have always been her comfort zone.
633** Mulder's MysteriousInformant Deep Throat wore a long coat in most of his appearances. It added to his mystique of a shady figure.
634** Mulder's next Mysterious Informants, known only as Mr. X, invariably wore long dark coats. He was a very intimidating figure and somewhat of a ScaryBlackMan.
635** Members of [[TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness the Conspiracy]] always wear scary long coats if they ever appear outside.
636* ''Series/YoungDracula'': He's not really that badass, but Eric Van Helsing wears one when he goes slaying.

638
639[[folder:Music]]
640* In the ''Music/{{Cake}}'' song "Short Skirt/Long Jacket", the narrator's dream girl wears one of these:
641-->I want a girl with the right allocations\
642Who's fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack\
643She's playing with her jewelry, she's putting up her hair\
644She's touring the facilities and picking up slack\
645I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket
646* Phil Collins appears to be invoking this trope in the very ''Film/BladeRunner''-esque music video for the Genesis song [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1zzdh_genesis-tonight-tonight-tonight_music "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight"]].
647* [[Music/JethroTull Ian Anderson]] in TheSeventies.
648* Music/TomWaits wears one on the cover of ''Music/MuleVariations''.
649* Dennis Warner in the video of Churchill's song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUuX4h9XgYk Change]
650* Carl [=McCoy=], singer from the occult-cowboy-goth band Fields of the Nephilim, is frequently seen sporting a badass cowboy duster (usually accessorized with leather hat and badass shades).
651* The Bridgemen Drum & Bugle Corps of Bayonne, NJ wore ''yellow'' longcoats. And [[HatOfAuthority black floppy pimp hats]]. And they were still badass.
652* Music/BobDylan's "The Man In The Long Black Coat" (also [[http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/j/joan_osborne/man_in_the_long_black_coat_ver2_crd.htm covered by]] Joan Osborne) is about one.
653* Maurice Gibb of Music/TheBeeGees [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ra_5hD0MY0 wore one]] during the group's ''One Night Only'' show in 1997, along with a nice hat.
654* Swiss singer Rachel Tarelli wears one in the music video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq7SuLaOLuk Ich han en Schatz am schöne Zürisee]]
655* Music/MeghanTrainor wears a nice ''silver'' one in the music video for "No".
656* In [[Music/EmpireOfTheSunBand Empire of the Sun's]] video for "Alive", Nick "Lord" Littlemore, gets to wear a very nice brown one with tons of zippers.
657* The members of ''{{Music/Rammstein}}'' change outfits pretty much with every new tour. However, the one almost-perpetual constant over the band's 20+ years of touring is lead guitarist Richard Z. Kruspe's trademark black longcoat.
658[[/folder]]
659
660[[folder:Pinballs]]
661* HardboiledDetective Nick Spade from ''Pinball/WhoDunnit1995'' is always seen wearing his longcoat and fedora.
662* Naturally, UsefulNotes/{{Gambit}} is shown wearing his in ''Creator/SternPinball's'' ''[[Pinball/XMenStern X-Men]]''
663[[/folder]]
664
665[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
666* Many wrestlers have adopted the longcoat to improve their image as badasses; among them are Wrestling/TheUndertaker, Wrestling/{{Sting}}, Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}} (one of the earliest adopters), and Wrestling/ChristopherDaniels (who ups the badass quotient by wearing a ''sleeveless'' Badass Longcoat).
667* Wrestling/MattHardy started sporting a very nice Badass Longcoat, though he might be a subversion of the associated trope unless you find serving Adam Cole and participating on three/four on one beat downs on a woman to spite her husband "bad ass".
668* Nikki Storm has ring gear to simulate the effect as if you'd want to give the opponent more areas to grab but still winning matches with the handicap is "bad ass".
669* UK independent wrestlers Wrestling/MartyScurll and Wrestling/JimmyHavoc who work for companies such as ''Wrestling/PROGRESSWrestling'', ''IPW:UK'', ''Wrestling/DefiantWrestling'' and ''RPW'' for example.
670* Wrestling/{{WALTER}} uses a black one with the logo of his PowerStable, Ringkampf, on it, that looks like an old fashioned army jacket since Ringkampf debuted as a team in ''Progress''.
671* Russo-German wrestler Ilja Dragunov wears one of these as part of his [[MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong Soviet gimmick]].
672[[/folder]]
673
674[[folder:Roleplay]]
675* ''Rolelay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'':
676** [[ImplacableMan Jacob Starr]] of v1 and Julie Mikan of v3 wear trenchcoats. Jacob started with [[BadassInANiceSuit a suit]], but when the jacket was damaged in a gun battle he took the trenchcoat off of one of the people he killed.
677** In v4, Staffan Kronwall was actually assigned this as a weapon.
678* Umbra from ''Roleplay/ShadowhunterPeril'' wears a long, badass, black duster. Simple yet elegant, but it got destroyed in a fight with Lilith. However, he easily replaced it.
679[[/folder]]
680
681[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
682* Going by the artwork in the books, trenchcoats are Standard Issue among ''[[TabletopGame/{{Champions}} Dark Champions]]'' vigilantes.
683* ''TabletopGame/{{Deadlands}}'', being inspired by [[TheWestern Westerns]] and requiring a good deal of Badassitude from at least some character classes, are a kind of natural habitat for Badass Longcoats too. Members of the Agency -- the setting's TheMenInBlack organisation -- are known by the nickname of Men In Black Dusters. The Agency's counterparts south of the border, the Texas Rangers, issue dusters to their recruits, presumably invoking this trope.
684* In ''TabletopGame/DogsInTheVineyard'', a Badass Longcoat is standard issue to every player character. Depending on how the GM decides to run the game, they can even deflect bullets.
685* The ''[[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Dungeon Master's Guide II]]'' for 3.5 has archetypes of player types. Under the "Supercoolness" heading is a half-orc in a long brown duster, two bloodstained broadswords, and a hat.
686* ''TabletopGame/{{Eberron}}'' features a suit of armor that is essentially an armored duster.
687* Creator/GamesWorkshop games:
688** In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'', the [[TheWitchHunter Witch Hunters]] of the Empire's Order of the Templars of Sigmar wear greatcoats as part of their standard uniform (along with a [[SignatureHeadgear capotain]]) as a ShoutOut to the traditional outfit associated with real life and fictional witch hunters.
689** ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'':
690*** Imperial Commissars, who have absolutely no qualms with [[BadBoss summarily executing their men]] for [[YouHaveFailedMe cowardice, disobedience, incompetence, fighting amongst themselves, drinking on duty, looking at heretical materials, wearing the wrong cap-badge, sneezing on the Emperor's holy icons....]] *cough* Literature/CiaphasCain *cough-cough* I mean most Commissars are also Badass enough to scare their underlings more than whatever horrors are faced. As mentioned in the Literature section above, though, some Commissars are more Badass than others.
691*** On a larger scale, several units of the Imperial Guard wear longcoats. The Death Korps of Krieg wear UsefulNotes/WorldWarI French-style greatcoats combined with German helmets and gasmasks that make them pull off a truly badass GasmaskLongcoat look. The Valhallan Ice Warriors, who are based on the [[RedsWithRockets Red Army]] of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, wear greatcoats as well.
692*** The MadDoctor Fabius Bile wears a long lab coat made from [[GenuineHumanHide stitched-together human skins]]. If anything is the last word in badass evil mad scientist gear, it's that.
693*** As [[TheWitchHunter witch hunters]] of the 41st Millennium, the models and artwork for [[StateSec Inquisitors]] of the Ordo Hereticus are often depicted them wearing greatcoats in the style of real life witch hunters over their PoweredArmour to strengthen their visual theme.
694** In ''TabletopGame/{{Necromunda}}'', the traditional outfit of [[StealthExpert House Delaque]] is a long, flowing trench coat worn to make it easier to [[HiddenWeapons conceal items and weaponry]] in a [myriad of pockets and hidden compartments. During the 1st and 2nd Editions of the game, the long coats worn by House Delaque resembled those traditionally worn by spies and privet detectives in fiction. The 3rd Edition models redesigned the House’s stormcoats to give them a more sinister, form fitting appearance with high collars that resemble a snake’s hood.
695* Particularly popular among [[TheFederation PanOceania]] in ''TabletopGame/{{Infinity}}'', usually worn over PoweredArmor.
696* Every faction from [[TabletopGame/IronKingdoms Warmachine and Hordes]] has ''someone'' wearing an incredibly badass longcoat.
697* The Imperial Trenchers in ''TabletopGame/MutantChronicles'' universe are both specialized in trench warfare and wearing badass trenchcoats styled after the early 20th-century British military (which they're a {{Fantasy Counterpart|Culture}} to). RetiredBadass Jake Kramer and TheStoic Cybertronic Overseer Cyril Dent also wear those.
698* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'':
699** The iconic inquisitor Imrijka could almost be a DistaffCounterpart to the DMG II half-orc. Her hat and duster, however, are bright crimson and considerably more ornate.
700** Not counting the "Gunman's Duster", a Wondrous Item also designed to give the wearer one of the Gunslinger's deeds, the Gunslinger's Dodge, which mechanically improves your defence against ranged attacks by moving you 5 feet, fluff wise, it helps you pull off backflips to dodge bullets, of course doing this still provokes attacks of opportunity, but should you want to try and backflip past people who are waving swords in your face, not even a Badass Longcoat can save you.
701* Quite a few of these are on the prowl in the ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'' setting, including were-hunter George Weathermay and some depictions of the darklord Malken. Even more common in the ''Ravenloft'' spinoff ''Gothic Earth'', seeing as it's set in a spooky parallel Victorian-era Earth, so lots of people dress that way.
702** The Arthaus products made greatcoats standard outdoor garb for residents of Darkon, which gets chilly.
703* In ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'', armored longcoats are readily available and popular with players because they provide a high level of protection (only suits of actual armor offer substantially better protection, and they're rather conspicious and also much harder to get on the black market), give a bonus for concealing weapons beneath them, and look cool. Given that the setting is a cyberpunk Seattle, they would also help keep off the [[CyberpunkWithAChanceOfRain obligatory rain]].
704* Also very popular among players in ''TabletopGame/TheWorldOfDarkness'' games, to the point that someone appearing in one, particularly if he uses a [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana sword]], is such an utter, utter cliché that [[DiscreditedTrope almost nobody does it anymore]].
705[[/folder]]
706
707[[folder:Theatre]]
708* Ralph Fiennes brought new levels of whup-ass to a 1995 Broadway production of ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' with a long black leather greatcoat in the early scenes. This instantly elevated him from EmoKid to DarkerAndEdgier, right off the bat, which is unusual. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ralph_Fiennes_Hamlet_9737.JPG Picture here.]]
709* Just like his film counterpart, J.D. in ''{{Theatre/Heathers}}'' wears a long, black trenchcoat. It's easily one of the most iconic parts of the character and a very thinly veiled reference to [[UsefulNotes/{{Columbine}} the Columbine shooters]].
710* In any production of ''Theatre/LesMiserables'', Javert gets one from "The Robbery/Javert's Intervention" into "Stars", often worn unbuttoned during "Javert's Soliloquy" to show distress.
711* A production of ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'' at the Guthrie Theater gave both Macbeth and Banquo long, black leather jackets in their first scene.
712* The titualar Phantom in ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' is almost always shown with his iconic mask and long black cape.
713* Graf von Krolock has one in the final scene of certain productions of ''Theatre/TanzDerVampire''.
714[[/folder]]
715
716[[folder:Theme Parks]]
717* In the 2012 update of ''Ride/TheAmazingAdventuresOfSpiderMan'' at Ride/UniversalStudios, a brown trenchcoat was added onto Doctor Octopus' design.
718[[/folder]]
719
720[[folder:Video Games]]
721* Omen Deng, the Chinese Secret Police agent of ''VideoGame/AlphaProtocol'', sports a rather impressive coat. He'll [[TheCoatsAreOff shed it]] when Mike Thorton fights him.
722* [[TheGunslinger Rusty Nails]] in ''VideoGame/AMCSquad'', befitting his status as an occult gunslinger and medium. He originally had used [[VideoGame/{{Blood}} Caleb]]'s sprites [[ArtEvolution before the 3.5 update gave him an original sprite set]].
723* ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'':
724** Pretty common with more modern Assassins that drop the {{Badass Long Robe}}s in favor of these. Examples include Connor from ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII'', Edward from''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'' and Arno from ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity''. Jacob and Evie Frye of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedSyndicate'' continue this tradition.
725** On the other side of the Templar/Assassin conflict, Shay in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRogue'' sports a pretty nifty greatcoat after he's formally inducted into the Templars. The one he wears during his transition period from the Assassins to the Templars is pretty good too.
726* Marduk from ''VideoGame/{{Bakugan}} the Video Game'' wears a black trench coat obviously mirroring Masquerade's white coat.
727* ''VideoGame/{{Battleborn}}'':
728** Captain Trevor Ghalt, the charismatic HandCannon wielding leader of the eponymous Battleborn, wears a badass-looking trenchcoat.
729** Marquis d'Caliber, a RoboticPsychopath ColdSniper BattleButler, wears a suit jacket with tails.
730* Robert Foster sports a stylish gray and black coat in ''VideoGame/BeneathASteelSky'', with a humorous red sweater underneath. Some of the characters even compliment or poke fun at him about it.
731* In ''Franchise/BlazBlue'', [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ragna the Bloodedge]], [[{{Jerkass}} Jin Kisaragi]], [[BattleButler Valkenhayn R. Hellsing]], and [[BadassInANiceSuit Hazama]] all have variations of one.
732* Caleb of the ''VideoGame/{{Blood}}'' series wears a dark brown one.
733* In ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'', most of the attire Hunters can wear are kickass longcoats with nice hats to boot, due to the Victorian-era aesthetic of the game.
734* Franchise/CarmenSandiego [[RunningGag has that awesome red one!]]
735* ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'':
736** Which member of the Belmont clan succeeded in killing Dracula off for good? Julius, in his longcoat.
737** Soma Cruz from the ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'' and ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow'' duology has a white long coat that manages to be badass, especially with the pimp qualities. The 21st century is obviously the era of Badass Fashion.
738** Also, in ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaCurseOfDarkness Curse of Darkness]]'', Trevor Belmont wears a belt with the lower part of a trench coat on it, just because it looks cool. His ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow Lords of Shadow]]'' version also sports one inspired by the one Richter wears in the main timeline.
739** [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaRondoOfBlood Richter]] has a blue tailcoat extending to his ankles in ''some'' of his character models. [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDissonance Juste]] has a similar coat, this time in red.
740** Alucard has a black justaucorps trimmed with gold thread. He sports a more standard longcoat in the ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadowMirrorOfFate Lords of Shadow]]'' timeline.
741** Dracula himself is getting in on the longcoat action in the ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow Lords of Shadow]]'' timeline. The coat is ''[[BloodMagic made of blood]]!''
742* ''VideoGame/{{Cataclysm}}'' has a few sorts of trenchcoat available to find or craft, mainly useful [[BoringButPractical for the multitude of pockets]]. Special mention goes to the survivor trenchcoat (normal or sleeveless) that experienced tailors can craft, which adds a [[ImprovisedArmor bit more protection]].
743* In the superhero MMORPG ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' (and its sister game/expansion ''City of Villains''), longcoats are unlocked for an account that's been active for over three months. They come in several types (long, short, tattered, split) and take up the 'back' slot for capes or wings. Like every costume choice, there is no effect on gameplay besides looking cool, but when you cross it with the Dual-Wielding Guns for the Blaster, you inject your character with {{Awesomeness|IsAForce}}.
744* ''VideoGame/CrossbowCrusade'': The PlayerCharacter is a monster hunter who's exterminating an infestation of zombies and monsters in the aptly-named Dead Kingdom, and rocks a brown longcoat while doing so.
745* A variety of gear from ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' allows the player to rock the badass longcoat look such as the Wanderer's Coat and the Black Cleric Robe.
746* ''VideoGame/{{Destiny}}'' has long coats or robes as part of the defining visual for the Warlock class.
747* In ''VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman'', Markus wears a long grey and black coat with a stand-up collar later in the game, most likely to assert his status as TheLeader and MessianicArchetype of his supporting group of people.
748* ''Franchise/DeusExUniverse'':
749** In ''VideoGame/DeusEx'', JC Denton wears a dramatic long black coat. This is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by Agent Navarre in an interview: "I do not expect you to perform as well as Agent Hermann, but the mission will require us to do more than frighten the NSF with our baggy coats that make us look bigger than we really are." His brother Paul wears such a coat as well, as does Walton Simons. That is to say, three-quarters of the world's nano-augmented population wears a Badass Longcoat.
750** The protagonist of ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'', Adam Jensen, looks to be continuing... sorry, ''[[CosmeticallyAdvancedPrequel starting]]'' the tradition with a badass neo-renascentist black trenchcoat, complete with an [[RealMenWearPink awesome floral print]] on the shoulders. It has slits for his [[BladeBelowTheShoulder arm blades]], and openings that magnetically attach themselves to his [[MultiDirectionalBarrage Typhoon]] Ports. It's so cool that the producers actually made it available for [[http://eu.deusex-store.com/category/29_Deus-Ex-Official-Collection purchase]]. Before you run out and purchase official merchandise, you may want to compare the coat offered in the above link to [[http://h9.abload.de/img/dxhr17nbww.jpg what Adam Jensen's coat actually looks like]]. No, they barely have anything in common.
751* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'':
752** Dante is known for his trademark red longcoat, which differs slightly in design each game. The [[http://abbyshot.com/products/ps-new-Dante-Coat-Set-Size.php DMC version]] can be purchased, either in red or black.
753** Vergil and Nero also sport longcoats in blue.
754** One cannot forget about Dante's alternate universe counterpart, [[http://i.imgur.com/jLFr7qF.jpg who does possess a pretty cool looking and slick]] trench-coat of his own.
755* Lewton from ''VideoGame/DiscworldNoir'': Brown trenchcoat with leather added over the shoulders, and a [[SignatureHeadgear matching fedora]].
756* [[VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories Axel]] and [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Kurtis]] of the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' series wear longcoats. The former's is white with [[HighCollarOfDoom an extremely high collar]], and the latter's is gray with a light blue collar. [[spoiler:Before reincarnating, the real!Overlord Zenon wore one of these, as well.]]
757* A Mage Hawke from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' wearing the [[IconicOutfit Mantle of the Champion]] sports a variant, having a battle-worn, badass tailcoat. S/he can also achieve this look with the Fugitive's Mantle from the Mage Pack DLC, which had previously belonged to their father.
758** Varric, the party's wisecracking dwarven [[strike: gun]][[AutomaticCrossbow crossbow]]-[[TheGunslinger slinger]] sports a knee-length leather trenchcoat with an impressively oversized belt and cuffs.
759** Come ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' and they're everywhere: Varric still has his, and half the game's rogue armours feature some form of billowing overcoat.
760* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' has quite a few examples, but the most prominent examples are [[RebelLeader Ulfric Stormcloak]], who wears a long coat made of ''chain-mail'' under an animal pelt, and the Thalmor (think evil [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Nazi]] [[OurElvesAreDifferent elves]]), who wear [[PuttingOnTheReich long black often-hooded robes which look like standard long-coats]].
761* Sebastian Castellanos wears a long trench coat for the opening segment of ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin'' before being discarded after a few minutes.
762* Daniel from the free indie RPG ''VideoGame/ExitFate'' wears a black one with gold trim.
763* ''VideoGame/FableII'' allows you to wear a variety of coats, two of which stand out as badass: the Noble Gent's Coat and the Highwayman Coat.
764* The ''Franchise/{{Fallout}}'' series:
765** ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' gives you the chance to wear at least two different types of dusters, both of which look badass.
766*** [[TheDragon Colonel Autumn]] wears a trenchcoat and gives a pretty good show of being evil.
767*** The Regulators, a law enforcement group with standard issue dusters.
768*** The Mysterious Stranger also wears a trench coat in the private eye tradition.
769*** Grab the overcoat of General Chase (either from ''Operation Anchorage'' via console command or from ''Mothership Zeta'''s Cargo Hold).
770** The NCR Ranger combat armor in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas''. It is exactly the armor the person in the game cover is wearing.
771*** The companion Tycho back in [[VideoGame/Fallout1 the first game]] looks almost the same... according to the flavour text and his dialogue, at least; the actual sprite is standard.
772*** [[TheRival Ulysses]] wears one [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead with the flag of the Old World]] on the back. After Lonesome Road, Ulysses gives the Courier one of his own called "Courier's Duster" which also has a flag on the back, the precise flag depending on whatever faction you choose to rule the Mojave. 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.
773*** Lonesome Road also has the US Army General outfit, an olive-drab overcoat that belonged to a pre-War general in the Divide, and the Riot Gear armors, which resemble the Ranger longcoat armor, but are not faction affiliated. Elite Riot Grear is the unique variant, with the highest damage threshold and durability.
774** Continuing the tradition, ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' offers a number of different longcoat options.
775*** The Silver Shroud costume is a long, black trench coat paired with the Silver Shroud's iconic silver ScarfOfAsskicking, and comes with a matching hat and gun to complete the look.
776*** You can also try out the Minutemen General's outfit, which combines an American revolutionary war-era style coat worn over painted combat armour to look a bit like ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's costume.
777*** The Badass Longcoat is also the garb of choice for Nick Valentine (who has one which makes him look like a 50's film noir detective) and Hancock (who prefers a nautical pirate-style one, which he got from a historical exhibit of his namesake).
778*** Elder Maxson has a beard, a [[RuggedScar Badass Scar]] and a Badass Longcoat.
779*** Institute Coursers all wear a coat based on [[Film/BladeRunner Roy Batty's coat]].
780* The ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series abounds with them:
781** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'': The character of Setzer wears an overcoat, drinks, gambles, and pilots both of the only flying machines (The Blackjack and the Falcon) to appear in the game.
782** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'': Faris of has one very similar to Setzer's in the concept art and [=PS1=] version's FMV cutscenes. She is not depicted wearing this in the game, sadly.
783** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'''s Seifer Almasy, the RivalTurnedEvil for Squall, wears the Badass Longcoat in light grey. [[ChivalrousPervert Irvine]] wears one in buckskin. In a LighterAndSofter version, Rinoa has a sleeveless powder-blue duster in some sort of rib knit.
784** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'''s [[MemeticBadass Auron]] wears one in deep red, and fights with one arm unsleeved.
785** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'': Noctis Lucis Caelum wore a long black coat in the first teaser trailer.
786** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'''s BigBad Sephiroth wears a signature trenchcoat with pauldrons on the shoulders. His coat changes with every game he's in, but never too far from its original appearance (i.e. ''Kingdom Hearts'', there are wings underneath the coat, and it even gets a red trim.) There is a replica of the [[http://abbyshot.com/products/ps-sephiroth-trench.php original Final Fantasy VII version]].
787** ''VideoGame/CrisisCore'' gives us Genesis's long red coat with black leather shoulders which floats around behind him nicely as he descends (backwards) from the sky.
788** Freya Crescent from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX''. Coat, hat, spear. Talk about awesome costumes.
789** Snow Villiers from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' has one as well. And the coat is so badass, they made it ''into his weapon''. The coat is fitted with Cocoonite technology that uses the Antimatter Manipulation Principle to amplify his punches and lessen blows to his body, as dictated by the emblem he wears [[BadassBack upon his back]].
790* For a while, the standard garb for Swordmasters in ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' gave them the appearance of a Badass Longrobe (or [[BreastPlate Long-Slitted-Skirt]] for female characters), until Lloyd from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade The Blazing Blade]]'', whose sprite was edited to reflect the longcoat he wears in his character art. As of ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Radiant Dawn]]'', the longcoat is the signature garb of the Trueblade. Also, the alternate sprite used for the Hero class unit is depicted with a longcoat in the GBA games. Notable Mercenary/Hero units include Raven, Callech, and most notably -- [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Linus Linus]].
791* Antonio Guster in the ''VideoGame/FZero'' games wears a long lab coat over his combat outfit.
792* ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'':
793** Two sorts of EliteMooks (Theron Guards and Kantus) are distinguished first and foremost visually by their long dark coats.
794** Additionally, General RAAM wears a strikingly similar outfit in black.
795** Let's not forget Aaron Griffin in ''Gears of War 3'' -- he's the only human wearing a longcoat in the entire series!
796* Inspector Cabanela in ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'' has a pure white trenchcoat that signifies his spotless record. [[spoiler:And there's the awesome moment later in the game is when Detective Jowd re-dons his own trenchcoat, symbolizing his transition from fatalistic DeathSeeker to proactively pursuing the manipulator.]]
797* In ''VideoGame/TheGodfather: The Game'', the menu hints outright tell you that the enemy gangsters with longcoats are superior to those without.
798* Isaac from ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' manages to snag himself one in the thirty year gap between it and Lost Age.
799* Appears throughout the ''VideoGame/{{Growlanser}}'' series. Crevaniel, the protagonist in ''Wayfarer of Time'' is always wearing his longcoat.
800* ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'' has these among leather armor, particularly [[https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.enjin.com/105739/modules/forum/attachments/2014-04-11_00011_1397166148.jpg a set]] that doubles as the [[LawEnforcementInc Lionguard]] NPC uniform.
801* In ''VideoGame/IMissTheSunrise'', [[spoiler:Chac]]'s old uniform is a stylish red coat with brilliant gold trim. In fact, getting it back is necessary in order to [[spoiler:bring him back from the DespairEventHorizon and recruit him]].
802* John and Raven from ''VideoGame/ImmortalSouls'' both wear billowing black leather coats that serve as their "armor" in terms of the games' defense mechanics.
803* Count [[KnightTemplar Veger]] in ''VideoGame/Jak3Wastelander''. He's got a long, regal-looking coat, but isn't actually seen doing anything really badass.
804* 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 [[KichikuMegane glasses]] (with their occasional [[ScaryShinyGlasses bonus points]]) and his bangs.
805* Helghast Stormtroopers in ''VideoGame/{{Killzone}} Liberation'' also wear distinguishing black coats.
806* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
807** WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse. Seriously. Also anyone else wearing Organization XIII's uniform. All of them and Riku and [=DiZ=]. You can purchase a [[http://abbyshot.com/products/ps-enigma.php long coat replica]] or a [[http://abbyshot.com/products/ps-kingdom-hoodie.php hoodie version]].
808** "Ansem" / Xehanort's Heartless has [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/new-monster/images/b/b7/Ansem.png/revision/latest?cb=20160804174116 a unique one]] -- which he inherited by being a {{Reincarnation}} of [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/kingdomhearts/images/8/85/Master_Xehanort_KHBBS.png/revision/latest?cb=20120221095354 Master Xehanort]].
809* In ''VideoGame/LamplightCity'', the PlayerCharacter, Detective Miles Fordham, wears a long black leather coat. Miles even lampshades it at one point, when his partner, Bill, asks him if he has ever considered wearing something else, telling Bill that his coat is a gift from his wife and that gives him a certain sense of "character". Bill cannot help but snark a bit at this:
810-->'''Bill:''' Right. Brooding detective in a long back coat. That's ''never'' been seen before.\
811'''Miles:''' What are you talking about, Bill?\
812'''Bill:''' Nevermind.
813* Ganondorf in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' wears a pretty cool longcoat, the sleeves being so large that he actually [[spoiler:has a sword hidden in each.]]
814* ''VideoGame/TheLongDark'' has the wolfskin coat, which is made by your character from, well, wolf skins. The item description says:
815--> Handcrafted outerlayer. Warm, tough, and tells Wolves — and everyone else — you are not to be trifled with.
816* [[ScienceHero Mordin]] [[BadassBookworm Solus]]. ''VideoGame/MassEffect2''. Wears lab coat over commando gear. [[VerbalTic *sharp inhale*]]. Awesome.
817* ''VideoGame/TheMatrixPathOfNeo'' being a ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' game has nearly all of the rebels, particularly Morpheus and Trinity wearing these.
818* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
819** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'': Liquid Snake, Revolver Ocelot and Psycho Mantis all wear the same style: brown leather with wide epaulets. Vulcan Raven wears one in the wide picture in the manual; it's a wonder it fits over his shoulders. Decoy Octopus wears a long coat in official artwork, but fails to do much of anything that could be construed as badass.
820** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'': Fortune wears hers simply draped over her shoulders, giving her the best of both a Badass Longcoat and a Cape.
821** Big Boss is always drawn with one of these post-''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker''.
822** In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'', Kazuhira Miller starts wearing a coat similar to the one worn by Col. Trautman from ''Film/FirstBlood''.
823* Gamov from the remake of ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'', despite having a long green coat, CoolShades and a capacity for OffscreenTeleportation, he never does anything wow-inducing.
824* Henry Cooldown of ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' wears a nice gray coat with a popped collar. It's suspiciously missing in [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle the sequel]], but he still pulls off the BadassInANiceSuit look.
825* Reaper from ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' adorns one that also serves as ''HammerSpace'' for his Hellfire Shotguns.
826* Wes from ''VideoGame/PokemonColosseum'' has one. It is always blowing in the wind, even in Pokémon battles.
827* Cynthia from ''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum]]'' has a black one. Palmer, the Tower Tycoon and [[spoiler:Barry]]'s father, also sports a green one which notably blows in the wind in his sprite animation in ''Platinum'' and ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver HeartGold/SoulSilver]]''.
828** Looker from Platinum also has a nice one.
829*** As do the Veteran Trainer class. Predictably, they tend to have rather powerful Mons.
830* The titular Dude of the ''VideoGame/{{Postal}}'' series wears a knee-length black trench coat over a blue Roswell T-shirt in the first and second games. This is replaced by an ankle-length brown duster, complete with bullet holes in the collar, for ''VideoGame/PostalIII''.
831* Razputin Aquato aquires one near the beginning ''VideoGame/Psychonauts2''. Only it's not a longcoat at all, but an oversized blazer Sasha gave Raz after his fellow interns stole his clothes and locked him in a closet. He makes the most of it.
832* ''VideoGame/Raid2020'': Shadow, the player character, always wears a (dark grey in the game, brown on the boxart) trenchcoat.
833* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' has a duster as a [[AndYourRewardIsClothes reward]] for having a high honor level, and the even cooler black coat you get for achieving Legend of the West status.
834* The more-or-less unknown protagonist of ''VideoGame/RedSteel2''. All we know about him is that he wears a longcoat, and that he's chosen to take on the town of Caldera all by himself. And he wields a [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]] ''[[TheMusketeer and]]'' a [[RevolversAreJustBetter revolver]].
835* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'':
836** Mr. X (Tyrant 00) from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' is wearing one of these and he really looks very badass with that coat. The same can be said of Vitorez Mendez from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' and also Nemesis in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'', just to mention the three characters who have their coats burn off to reveal horrendous transformations.
837** Albert Wesker in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheUmbrellaChronicles''. Both his spiffy black trench-coat and his entire tight-fitting outfit are completely [[HellBentForLeather made out of leather]]. He just [[CoolShades knows how to look cool]].
838* In ''VideoGame/{{Rimworld}}'', dusters are the ultimate outerwear for many situations. They provide excellent protection from hot weather and are decent against the cold too. They provide better armour than any other clothing, and can even be competitive with the lighter forms of power armour if made from the best materials. Plus they look cool on a pawn's icon.
839* ''VideoGame/RuneFactory'': Aden from ''VideoGame/RuneFactoryOceans'' wears what appears to be an older version of this.
840* [[ColdSniper Morningstar Specialists]] from ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'' wear blood red ones.
841** You can invoke this by buying a trenchcoat in one of the clothing shops in the series.
842* In ''VideoGame/SandsOfDestruction'', Morte wears a long, hot pink, [[FormFittingWardrobe fitted]] coat. Agan wears a long green coat, but he's more of a ButtMonkey even if he ''is'' capable in a fight.
843* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'''s [[BattleButler Katakura Kojuurou]] wears a brown duster that sweeps to the ground. It's utterly anachronistic, but hey, what's history when compared to badassery, right? And he's so badass that they made him playable in the expansion pack.
844* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'':
845** In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI'', although the Chaos Hero sports an urban camo trenchcoat and a brash demeanor, he is physically weak and openly admits to such, constantly relying on other characters for help. Although that may [[CutsceneIncompetence not be the case during gameplay]]...
846** And in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'', they are standard issue for the Samurai.
847** ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
848*** In ''VideoGame/Persona2'', the Masquerade bosses sport these.
849*** Shinjiro of ''VideoGame/Persona3'', unlike the rest of the party, only has one outfit. And it's a Badass Longcoat. The protagonist's usual outfit can also sometimes display some aspects of the Badass Longcoat without being one.
850*** The initial Persona of the Protagonist of ''VideoGame/Persona4'', Izanagi, sports an awesome black longcoat. [[spoiler:Izanagi-No-Okami, the Protaganist's ultimate Persona who is only attainable in the True Ending, has an even more impressive white one that billows epically as he is summoned to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu defeat the final boss]].]]
851*** In ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'', Mitsuru wears a thick, white fur coat, thus also making the coat PrettyInMink and KickingAssInAllHerFinery.
852*** ''VideoGame/Persona5'': As part of his PhantomThief persona that fights {{Eldritch Abomination}}s and reforms the corrupt, the Protagonist wears a fancy black coat that goes down to his ankles. Also, "Kasumi"/[[spoiler:Sumire]] Yoshizawa wears a long black coat that is exactly like Joker's.
853** In ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2'', these are ''standard uniform'' for [[GovernmentAgencyOfFiction JP's.]]
854* The not-all-there, blood-splattered trenchcoat wearing villain Walter Sullivan of ''VideoGame/SilentHill4''.
855* ''VideoGame/SpaceStation13's'' Head of Security usually starts with a great coat. It's understandably both one of the best non-metal armor items in the game and the most ridiculously badass.
856* In ''[[VideoGame/StarCraft Brood War]]'''s opening cinematic, Admiral Du Galle and Vice-Admiral Stukov are both wearing badass military longcoats with epaulets.
857** 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.
858* Crimson Viper from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' has a longcoat as her alternate costume. It's badass on its own, even before factoring in the taser gloves and flamethrower shoes.
859* ''VideoGame/SuikodenIII'' has [[spoiler:Albert Silverberg]] known in the early parts of the game as the "Man in Coat" because of his awesome-looking white and black coat that he wears.
860* From ''VideoGame/EndlessFrontier'', we have Haken Browning, with his black and red longcoat.
861** In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'', we have Sänger Zonvolt, the infamous Sword That Cleaves Evil -- he wears a red longcoat that resembles the justaucorps variety. He manages to make it billow, [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120817095242/superrobotwars/images/4/4e/Srtog-sanger-zonvolt.jpg even if it's a rather short coat]]. His rival Wodan Ymir also wears a blue version of the same coat.
862* ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny2'': Karell Berselius wears an awesome dark red one with laces up the sleeves and fur along both the sleeves and hood. It doubles as CoordinatedClothes with his sister Harold's attire.
863* Ricardo from ''VideoGame/TalesOfInnocence'': black and double-breasted. What he wouldn't do for his [[BerserkButton little brother]]...
864* Raven from ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' has a very snazzy purple coat.
865* Wild Dog, the immortal (?) mercenary from ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis''. Quite fond of [[TheCoatsAreOff throwing it off dramatically]] when he gets down to business.
866* In the strategy game ''VideoGame/ToothAndTail'', one of the playable commanders, [[HonestCorporateExecutive Bellafide]], not only wears a [[https://toothandtail.gamepedia.com/media/toothandtail.gamepedia.com/f/fc/Poster4.jpg?version=311a9605d4d94dcef418fd62b09c00bf long, blue overcoat]], but he also commands the faction known as "The Longcoats", who [[PlanetOfHats wear this trope as their hat]]. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Well, in context of the story anyway]]. In game, all the animals you command look exactly the same regardless of the commander leading them, with only a [[ColorCodedArmies difference in clothing color to denote which faction they hail from]], and half of these critters don't even wear ''shirts'', let alone a coat or jacket.
867* Seems to be common in the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' for a MasterSwordsman to wear this outfit. Examples include [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Loewe]], [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZeroAndTrailsToAzure Arios MacLaine]], and [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Rean]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsIntoReverie Schwarzer]].
868** The Dominion, the highest ranking knights of the Septian Church who all possess a rare superpower all wear a styled long coat with church iconography stiched into it, customized to each member by a different color and length. It's typically a tell to the player that a character is a Dominion (which usually isn't revealed in story for quite a while) if they're wearing or suddenly switched outfits into one of these coats.
869* Gordeau and Seth in ''VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth''. Gordeau's is a purple duster-style coat, while Seth's is something of a trenchcoat.
870* Parodied in ''VideoGame/UrbanDead'', where characters with overly "badass" description, especially the ones with long coats, scars, katanas (and other weapons not in the game) etc. are mocked to no end. The term "trenchcoater" also a negative term for the {{Munchkin}}s of the game.
871** This also exists in the {{MMORPG}} ''VideoGame/NexusWar'', which was founded and played by a lot of ''Urban Dead'' players.
872* ''VideoGame/TheEndTimesVermintide'''s Victor Saltzpyre sports this as part of the typical attire of a Witch Hunter for both practical traveling and intimidation purposes.
873* [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110126141912/dow/images/f/fa/Rt_ig_heroes_castor.jpg Lord General Castor]] of The Imperial Guard in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar II: Retribution'' wears a very spiffy dark-red-trimmed tan-coloured greatcoat, and ups the badass factor by only wearing ''one'' sleeve; he leaves his [[{{Cyborg}} augmetic arm]] uncovered. This is the same augmetic arm he uses to wield a sniper rifle (or other special weapon) ''one-handed''. In multiplayer, the Lord General Hero's greatcoat takes on colours set in the Army Painter, so you can have a [[BlingOfWar gold or silver-trimmed black greatcoat]]. Or perhaps neon purple with metallic green trim, if that's more your thing.
874* ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'': Protagonist Aiden Pearce wore a knee length coat in all his outfits. The coat reappears as an unlockable outfit piece in the [[VideoGame/WatchDogs2 sequel]] after an episode in which he appears, though no other coats are available in that game.
875* Your character in ''VideoGame/XKaliber2097'' is a longcoat-clad MasterSwordsman wielding the titular weapon, and kicks all sorts of ass with it. Said longcoat tends to flow around as you jump in platforming areas.
876* ''VideoGame/Yakuza1'': One of the signs that Shinji TookALevelInBadass after the TimeSkip is that he starts rocking a very stylish black leather longcoat.
877** Kiryu's FriendOnTheForce, Makoto Date, has the standard issue detective longcoat as his usual outfit. While he's not a face wrecker like Kiryu, Date's still a very competent and persistent detective and his snooping is usually key in getting Kiryu to the BigBad so he can [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown do his thing]].
878[[/folder]]
879
880[[folder:Visual Novels]]
881* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
882** Detective Tyrell Badd of ''Ace Attorney Investigations'', the only person ever to dodge one of Franziska's whip strikes. He wears it so he will never forget his [[MyGreatestFailure greatest failure]], and since then it has become riddled with holes. ''Bullet'' holes.
883** Subverted with Detective Dick Gumshoe, whose brown duster usually doesn't help out his ButtMonkey status. He gets a newer, brighter trenchcoat from someone important to him. Notably, he wears the old one during later investigations so that his new one doesn't get stained and dirty.
884** If you pay attention to the stills of Edgeworth in 1-4 and 2-3, he seems to favour the longcoat as well.
885** And speaking of the Edgeworths, Gregory Edgeworth seems to favour a long overcoat [[spoiler:in his appearance in ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations 2'']], which he then passes on to his student after his death.
886* Nagito Komaeda of ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'' has his iconic [[ColorMotif red & green]] knee-length zipper hoodie with a jagged-cut tail.
887* Archer from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''! Badassery aside, it's not a true longcoat; it's actually a pair of sleeves and a long battle-skirt-thing. Looks damn similar, though.
888** Kotomine Kirei definitely qualifies with his [[ChurchMilitant bulletproof priest's robes]], and proves in ''Literature/FateZero'' that people don't necessarily [[MemeticMutation die when they are killed]]. Kiritsugu Emiya also sports a more traditional style duster.
889* This coat is compulsory for a GreatDetective like Willard H. Wright in ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry''. His Badassery is better displayed in ''Ougon Musou Kyouku''.
890[[/folder]]
891
892[[folder:Web Animation]]
893* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': Seth wears one. Its silver and he even has armbands to match.
894* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'':
895** Aseir's is tattered and has got skulls on the sleeves too.
896** [[SnakesAreSinister Ethan's has snakes on it.]]
897* Starting from ''WebAnimation/MadnessCombat 5: Depredation'', [[TheHero Hank]] dons a black longcoat. [[AscendedExtra Deimos]] also has one as well. His [[TheRival rival]] Jesus meanwhile wears a [[LightIsNotGood white]] longcoat.
898* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': Blitzo always wears a tattered greatcoat on the job. In the pilot he specifically draws attention to it.
899[[/folder]]
900
901[[folder:Webcomics]]
902* ''Webcomic/AngelMoxie'': Riley and Tristan get individual ones when powered up.
903* In ''Webcomic/{{Blood and Smoke}}'', Detective John Carson regularly wears a trench-coat.
904* In ''Webcomic/CaptusCinematicUniverse'', Malus wears a white longcoat as his villain attire of choice. In his debut comic, it waves behind him as he jumps off an exploding building.
905* In ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'', vampire hunters Vic and Blaine both wear long coats when they go out a-slaying. Nebbish boss Blaine wears a black, buckled coat over his office attire. Vic sported a plain grey coat for the longest time but recently had an upgrade to a dark grey long coat with red trim. Charby himself prefers long coats with lots of expressive tendrils of shredded cloth at the bottom.
906* 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 TheSmartGuy rather than a consistent badass.
907* Komiyan from ''Webcomic/{{Darken}}'' in [[http://darkencomic.com/?webcomic_post=january-7th-2010-2 this scene]] where he [[spoiler:shows Tarvin/Shard that evil is indeed a cut-throat business]].
908* Gun-for-hire Black Monday Blues from ''Webcomic/DeadWinter'' has [[http://deadwinter.cc/page/88 an eye for these]], and chooses to keep it the whole way through the comic. The fact that he is the group's [[HypercompetentSidekick Hypercompetent]] [[TheGunslinger Gunslinger]], definitely makes him plenty badass.
909* Donovan Deegan of ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' has a badass longcoat... made even more badass in that said long coat is ''[[RealMenWearPink pink]]''.
910* ''Webcomic/{{Dreamkeepers}}'': Namah Calah has a pretty nifty blue longcoat.
911* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
912** Abraham wears a fedora and trench coat created as "[[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-05-30 modern garb]]" when [[spoiler:he sets out to kill Ellen]]. [[WordOfGod Dan himself says]] that this outfit is essentially the modern-day equivalent of a wizard's cloak.
913** Ellen also used to wear a longcoat. Dan comments in retrospect that he ought to bring it back, because "it's long and it's cool."
914* Shiva Crimson from ''Webcomic/EVIL2016'' is a literal LightningBruiser, and her standard attire includes a longcoat.
915* John Oliver in ''Webcomic/FakeNewsRumble'' wears one, combined with a ScarfOfAsskicking which [[Series/DoctorWho sure looks familiar]]...
916* ''Webcomic/FetchQuestSagaOfTheTwelveArtifacts'' has Lionel "the Lucky" and his black jacket. It's especially apparent when it makes him more [[http://www.fetchquest.com/archive.php?chapterid=4&comicid=11 intimidating]] than he really is.
917* Kalita, Debbie, and Leyline from ''Webcomic/FurryFightChronicles'' wore long coats as a symbol of them being the founding members of the Roda Kira Gang.
918* Arguably, Morgan of ''Webcomic/GenderSwapped'' pulls this off, and with a lab coat no less. (You know those things that scientists wear? Or in this case brain surgeon.) WordOfGod states that during the far and upcoming story arc involving the TBO, a lot of badassery was supposed to take place, with Morgan leading the march.
919* Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, the AntiVillain dictator of Europa in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius''. His is a greatcoat that serves to make his already imposing figure [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040105 more so]]. An early version is shown [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030813 here]]. It's sufficiently Badass that it makes him look imposing even [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040804 from the back, with a baby in a backpack.]]
920** 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=20131118 there.]]
921** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050624 Jägers]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050713 know]] how to look impressive too.
922** Krosp, The King of All Cats acquired a spiffy red-embroidered with gold longcoat during his stay with Master Paynes circus.
923** Agatha dons an awesome [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090828 long labcoat]] with the arms burnt off while setting up the crazy device to fix up Tarvek.
924* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' includes one in the traditional garb of [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=558 defender of the Court]].
925** Briefly used in Chapter 19 -- Antimony is wearing a Gunnerkrigg uniform trenchcoat when she gets pulled into Zimmy's BlackBugRoom. When Zimmy flips out and attacks her, Annie uses her Judo-ish skills to very quickly incapacitate her attacker.
926* ''Webcomic/IronCrown'' has a few: most notably Commander Isandar of the titular mercenary Brigade who regularly faces off against demons in it, plus or minus a shotgun. Who says you can't look stylish in what amounts to an extended EscortMission?
927* ''Webcomic/{{MAG ISA}}'': [[http://mag-isa.thecomicseries.com/comics/pl/119653 This garment seems to be standard fare among the bad guys in the comic]]. Eman is the exception, though, because he stopped being bad.
928* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFOXHOUND'' has these, but it's [[http://gigaville.com/comic.php?id=308 not just Liquid who wears them]]. Also [[http://gigaville.com/comic.php?id=313h lampshaded]] and [[http://gigaville.com/comic.php?id=249 parodied.]]
929* Luke Surl [[http://www.lukesurl.com/archives/1252 explains]] the dilemma.
930* Benjamin generally wears a police trenchcoat, though he also pulls off the rare badass labcoat, in ''Webcomic/AMiracleOfScience''.
931* Practically everyone in ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'', the protagonists being private eyes and the antagonists being organized crime.
932* Lord English of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' was for a long time solely identified by his, the enormous Cairo Overcoat, to the point that one of the biggest points of conjecture about his identity was that whoever he was had to fit inside the Overcoat. [[TheGhost It's the only thing we see of him]] [[TheReveal for a very long time]].
933* In ''Webcomic/MiscellaneousError'', main character Jack is always seen wearing something akin to a [[HellBentForLeather leather]] duster.
934* ATLAS from ''Webcomic/MSPaintMasterpieces'', a prototype combat robot created by the military, wears this as a disguise.
935* Julio Scoundrel of ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''. He is a "Dashing Swordsman", but knowing how to work the flowing brown (or black, or crimson) longcoat is part of it.
936* ''Webcomic/ProjectBlackfire'': The main character Dark Flame is almost always seen wearing his long, black trenchcoat (which likes to flare dramatically.)
937* Gunhild's trenchcoat in Webcomic/{{Realmwalker}}. Also,Loki's furby coat.
938* Riff from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' is a classic example. Usually, he wears a brown trenchcoat, but he's been known to [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=020602 level up.]] His humanizing quirk is the tendency of his inventions to only ''mostly'' work, prompting his catchphrase: "Let me check my notes."
939* Gunslinger Emily from ''Webcomic/{{Spacetrawler}}'' is rarely seen without her duster. She even wears it over her spacesuit.
940* [[http://tapastic.com/episode/43375 Most of the]] [[PsychoForHire Bloody Flames]] in ''Webcomic/TheStoryOfAnima''. Overlapping a bit with YourSizeMayVary, [[http://tapastic.com/episode/46893 Rudy]], [[http://tapastic.com/episode/80247 Kit]] and [[http://tapastic.com/episode/49413 Hayden's]] normally hip-length jackets can look much longer in certain shots, creating this effect.
941* Both of the {{Villain Protagonist}}s of ''Webcomic/SuicideForHire'' wear black trenchcoats.
942* In ''Webcomic/SupernormalStep'', [[StateSec Henderson Security]] incorporates a duster in its uniforms. Hall Henderson in particular works the coat.
943* In ''Webcomic/ThreePanelSoul'', Ian wears one of these every so often with a matching fedora, sometimes to his detriment (once passing a striking resemblance to a neighborhood watch sign, another time filling a hip flask with tic tacs and 'drinking' whilst on his morning commute).
944* Towards the end of the first story arc of ''Webcomic/VampireCheerleaders''. Leonard confronts the cheerleaders threatening to expose their existence while wearing one of these. Lori's attempts to control him are rebuffed because Leonard took several precautions to make himself vampire-proof. Meaning his blood is poisonous because he ate a ton of garlic and drank Listerene, and he is wearing mirror sunglasses so they can't use their hypnosis. When they ask why he is wearing a "The Matrix" style coat he says "Because it looks cool." In the end they resort to "Plan BC" (BC for booty-call), and that they end up having an orgy with him until he not only agrees to not expose them, but become their willing thrall as well.
945* In ''[[http://thewretchedoneswebcomic.com The Wretched Ones]]'', Yayne is often seen wearing a long, grey greatcoat.
946* Alex Rayne of ''Webcomic/WrightAsRayne'' wears one, though it's [[RealMenWearPink purple]]. One of Power's men also sports one.
947* Axel from ''Webcomic/{{Yosh}}''. He may not have guns to pull from his coat, but the demons he summons make up the difference and then some. He's a master of demonic magic [[spoiler:and known to be one of the strongest magic users in the entire series, wearing the title of The Vile and being almost on par with the Magi]].
948* Charlie from ''Webcomic/TheZombieHunters'' [[TheUndead fights zombies]] while sporting a lab coat, but favors a dark grey trenchcoat (with matching hat) in {{Flashback}}. Team [[CombatMedic medic]] Sammie has a more elaborate badass bab/trenchcoat]] accented with black [[TooManyBelts buckled belts]] on the collar and sleeves, that she's worn in the field and on civilian clinic duty. On one mission, young teammate Katie sports a vivid red trench with similar belt accents but has thus far only [[FlippingTheBird flipped the bird]] at her smartass medic while wearing it.

958** Percy de Rolo from Campaign 1 of is always depicted with a dark blue longcoat in an aristocratic style.
959** Campaign 2 has several: Caleb Widogast's outfits always include a long, billowing coat, whether he's absolutely caked in filth or not; Mollymauk Tealeaf has a long, red coat completely covered in intricate embroidery that he rarely ever takes off, and [[spoiler:Kingsley Tealeaf takes after his "brother" Molly by wearing a long, asymmetrical red captain's coat that is cropped to waist-length on one side and reaches down past his knee on the other.]]
960* Parodied by Travis Boles in ''WebVideo/ThreeInTheAfternoon'' -- he wears a bathrobe. Which, according to one of his foes, "smells".

964* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'', "For a Few Sovereigns More": Igthorn hires Flint "Stoneface" Shrubwood, the best BountyHunter in the land, to capture a Gummi Bear. Intimidating and capable, he wears a kickass long coat and a hat, uses {{Precision Guided Boomerang}}s to frightening effect, and effortlessly catches Cubbi. With a more reliable sponsor than Igthorn, this man would become a HeroKiller.
965* ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' sees Solomon Grundy's design incorporate a duster rather than a jacket. [[spoiler:The tie-in comic reuses this design for the real Grundy even though in the episode Grundy appeared in, he turned out to be Clayface in disguise.]]
966* In the 2006 revival of ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'', General Carbine wears a long red coat and, as she did in the original 1993 series, helps her fellow Martian mice fight back against their planet's invaders.
967* In ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'', if not known for his ability to split into multiple copies of himself, Torque is known to wear a brown outlaw styled duster jacket to fit his role as a MonsterOfTheWeek.
968* Franchise/CarmenSandiego [[OverlyLongGag had that awesome red one!]]
969* In the Netflix ''WesternAnimation/CarmenSandiego'' series, the eponymous character justifies wearing her red coat everywhere including, conspicuously, a jungle said to feel 110 degrees, because that's where she keeps a wide assortment of tools. (She has, after a narrow dodge, actually suffered a CapeSnag.)
970* Timmy Turner from ''WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents'' parodies the coat from the Matrix in the Wishology trilogy. Believe it or not, he does look cool.
971* The episode "Reincarnation" of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': both Hermes and the Professor's anime forms have very badass longcoats.
972* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'':
973** Macbeth. It came in handy when he fought Goliath, as he was able to [[GivingThemTheStrip quickly slip out of it and escape the gargoyle's clutches]].
974** Broadway tries to employ this trope when he's playing trenchcoat-detective. This ironically tends to backfire, when it comes to looking badass -- he's more intimidating when he doesn't hide his gargoylish build -- although it does help him blend in a bit.
975* [[spoiler:"Bipper"]] sports a nice black one in ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' during the third act of "Sock Opera." It's part of his reverends' outfit.
976** [[spoiler:Ford emerges from the portal at the end of "Not What He Seems" wearing a black one. As of "A Tale of Two Stans", he now wears a tan longcoat over a red turtleneck.]]
977* Dante from ''WesternAnimation/HuntikSecretsAndSeekers'' wears his trench coat [[LimitedWardrobe almost all the time]].
978* Part of WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget's usual attire.
979* Dib from ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'', despite being about eleven years old.
980* The Misfits from ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' are often shown wearing long coats. Part of it is due to them being a fashionable rock band in the 80s but it also signifies them as the cool, trouble making enemies of the protagonists. Stormer's long coat is pretty much always orange.
981* From ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
982** Mako wears a pretty cool longcoat, complete with ScarfOfAsskicking. He trades the coat in for a bodyguard's uniform in Book Four.
983** [[ArcVillain Amon's]] might be a bit shorter than most but it doesn't make him look any less badass, or any less terrifying.
984* Lampshaded in ''WesternAnimation/RoswellConspiraciesAliensMythsAndLegends'', when the un-badass Fritz is overjoyed at the opportunity to borrow the Hero's "cool coat".
985* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'': Villain Doctor Octopus pairs his long coat with goggles.
986* Cad Bane from ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' wears a red/brown overcoat, one of the only characters in the whole series to wear one.
987* Static from ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' wears an open long coat like his comic counterpart. He wears the same outfit in his Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse crossovers.
988* Hard Drive, a villain from ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'', derived his data-hacking/teleporting/electrical powers from his "Surge Coat". Why not just a form-fitting data-suit or a backpack and goggles? Because the Surge Coat looks ''badass''.
989* Solomon, the leader of G3 in ''WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan'', wears one of these.
990* Captain Crandall wears this in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TeamoSupremo''.
991* In ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'' 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.
992%%* Caleb from ''WesternAnimation/WITCH2004'' pulls this off spectacularly throughout the series.
993* Cyclops from ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009'' wears one in costume. Gambit also has his traditional coat.

997* George Early, an American GentlemanAdventurer in the Balkans during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, considered himself a super-spy and wore a trenchcoat everywhere, presumably to [[OvertOperative announce himself]] to the Germans. The OSS was so exasperated that it simply yanked his clearance and used him for the rest of the war as no more than a decoy. Oddly enough, he [[BornLucky occasionally]] showed some insight, once picking up a rumor about the atomic bomb.
998* 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 [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Borden#/media/File:Robert_Borden,_statue.jpg badass statue]].
999* UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte, when he was on the [[UsefulNotes/TheNapoleonicWars battlefield]] in his iconic ''redingote grise'' (grey overcoat).
1000* UsefulNotes/AndrewJackson liked wearing long trenchcoats, especially when duelling.
1001* Creator/EddieIzzard often wears one with a red silk interior.
1002* This was a standard part of the military uniform in most colder countries throughout the 20th century, and still persists in many of them. They aren't called ''trench''coats for nothing.
1003* A modern variation worn by the American military is the All-Weather Coat, though it is a bit cumbersome and you are unlikely to see it actually being worn, especially since lighter camouflage wet and cold weather gear is available for the battlefield uniforms.
1004* UsefulNotes/ErwinRommel is well-documented to have worn one in North Africa of all places[[note]]In the Western Desert [[DeceptivelySimpleDemonstration temperatures drop sharply]] from over 100°F / 38°C in daylight to 40-50°F / 5-10°C during the night[[/note]]
1005* A rather chilling example were the black leather double-breasted trenchcoats worn by SS officers.
1006** Before that, agents of the Cheka, the first Communist secret police, wore distinctive leather overcoats.
1007* Statues of UsefulNotes/VladimirLenin (and there were thousands of them) often depicted him with a long flowing coat.
1008* [[http://www.napolun.com/mirror/napoleonistyka.atspace.com/img/Prussian_Landwehr_infantry.jpg Prussian soldiers wore longcoats]] in UsefulNotes/TheNapoleonicWars, with even an added CommissarCap to boot. In an inversion of typical associations of this trope, though, they tended to be worn by members of the ''Landwehr'', [[RedshirtArmy hastily-raised militiamen with little to no training]].
1009* Ancient Median and Persian nobles wore a riding coat both at court and in battle called the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kandys kandys]] that hung almost to the ''ankles''. It was normally worn as a CoatCape, though for more complicated reasons than just looking badass.
