MarXidad: Doesn't mad max have a longcoat in ReturnToThunderdome when he arrives in barter town?

LickyLindsay: I always thought this trope came from the trench coats popularly associated with detectives and spies. Dick Tracy, etc.

{{Tanto}}: I'm not sure I'd characterize Grit as a badass. He's awesome, for sure, but too laid-back to really fit that role.

{{Qit el-Remel}}: Auron, from Final Fantasy X, is nearly the archetype of Badass Longcoat. Why isn't he on the list? :(

RobertBingham: ...aaand added. Enjoy.

I keep misreading the title as "Badass Longcat".

When did Sherlock Holmes wear a trenchcoat? Did trenchcoats even exist in the 1880s, when Sherlock Holmes first appeared? (I thought they originated in World War I.) Maybe you're thinking of a frock coat? Sherlock Holmes could easily make a frockcoat look badass.

DaibhidC: The "billowing trenchcoat", I think, is actually an Inverness cape (essentially a sleevelesss long coat with a short cape built into it to cover the arms). Which, like the deerstalker, is countryside wear, so Holmes would only really wear if a case took him outside the city.

Isn't Carmen Sandiego the best possible example of this? :::Swoon:::

{{Madrugada}}: Got a question about on of the examples -- The Metal Gear Solid one. Most of the images I found of Pschyo Mantis showed no coat at all. the ones of Otacon showed either a short jacket or a long coat. The action figures followed the same pattern -- no coat with the psycho Mantis and a long coat on the Otacon figures. Are either of the noted for wearing a long coat, to the point that it would be considered an important part of their outfit?
