Conspicuous Trenchcoat | comment |
An "evil" character, a Film Noir character, or otherwise out-of-the-ordinary character, can always be identified (by the observant audience anyway) by the fact that he wears a concealing trenchcoat, fedora hat, and occasionally dark glasses that are in no way seen as suspicious by any passers-by. This one started out as Truth in Television. From the 1920s through the '50s, a trenchcoat and a fedora were the standard outerwear for a man who was neither upper-class nor extreme lower-class. Consequently, they were the natural choice for spies, detectives and anyone wanting to blend in with the added bonus of easily concealing weapons. But when this style fell out of fashion with the general public, it came to be exclusively associated with said spies and detectives – whose continued use of this look would ironically make them more conspicuous if anyone were paying attention. Thus, whether this is perfectly plausible disguise or a Paper-Thin Disguise depends largely on the medium and the setting of the story. And the weather. Not to be confused with Badass Longcoat or Trenchcoat Brigade. Lawmen or vigilantes wearing these do not count unless they are deliberately trying to avoid notice. Very useful when two kids or short characters stand on top of each other's shoulders and pretend to be an adult. With all the concern with terrorists and flashers, this is likely on its way to becoming a Dead Horse Trope. Frequently overlaps with Overt Operative. Modern version of Black Cloak and In the Hood. Variant of Coat, Hat, Mask. See also: Most Definitely Not a Villain, Paper-Thin Disguise, Blatant Burglar, Highly-Conspicuous Uniform. |

In the 1990's remake of The Untouchables a U-boat drops off a German spy who puts on his trenchcoat before paddling ashore in a dinghy. Given that Germany wasn't at war with the United States at the time, it's a mystery why he'd bother when he could have worn a suit and traveled under forged papers on a comfortable steamship from Europe. | |

Sluggy Freelance: Agent Hong mistakenly sees this trope (minus the fedora) in the chapter "Aylee". "You have a surveillance photo from the military jet showing this guy leaving the scene where radar had tracked the entity moments before. You can't tell what he's carrying. You can't even tell it's a he. A long blond wig and a trenchcoat in a grainy photo? It could be anyone!" ...Except that it's Riff, who always looks like that, rather than here being in disguise. And they can't even see he's also got sunglasses. | |

Chuck vs. The Third Dimension A man in a dark trenchcoat, hat and dark glasses carrying a suspicious package plants a bomb in the BuyMore. Chuck is the only one to notice that this is an odd way to dress in a Burbank summer. Somewhat toying with the trope is at the end of the episode, the bomber tries again at a crowded concert, only this time he's paid several people to dress in matching trenchcoats to lure Sarah and Casey while he wanders around undetected in a business suit. |

When Dexter is training Miguel in how to murder people, he notes that he told him to be inconspicuous. Instead he "turns up looking like the Unabomber," with baseball cap, black sweater and sunglasses that make him especially conspicuous since they're in a casino at the time. In contrast, Dexter always wears a drab Henley shirt and khaki cargo pants when on the hunt. | |

M.A.N.T.I.S.: The pilot episode had the hero wearing one of these to conceal the fact he was wearing Powered Armour. While it wasn't the worst idea under the circumstances (the design of the suit didn't really lend itself to being worn under anything else) the result looked silly enough on screen that this trick was never used in the series proper. | |

Carmen Sandiego not only wears a trenchcoat and fedora, but a fire engine red trenchcoat and fedora. On the other hand, she is motivated by showing off. She takes advantage of the inconspicuousness by somehow arranging other non-criminal women in trenchcoats to visit the area near ACME Headquarter so that she could more easily rob it. When catching a V.I.L.E. agent, they'll be wearing these in the cutscenes. |

Callisto wears one while spying on a skateboarding event, using it to go near Evan and warn him not to drink an energy drink that will poison him. Given how Callisto's hardly the most non-human-looking mutant and that she's at an event filled with wild teenagers, one has to wonder how the trenchcoat makes her less suspicious than the eyepatch she wears. |

Albert Wesker of Resident Evil fame dons a trenchcoat in the fifth game of the series. But by then he's far less "conspicuous" and more of a darwinistic Card-Carrying Villain. Just like his first appearance in the original Resident Evil 2, Mr.X in Resident Evil 2 (Remake) also wears a trenchcoat, this time complemented by a fedora which unlocks an achievement when you shoot it off from Mr.X's head. |

In the Eastern Europe level of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Snake dons a trench coat and face camo to get past Raven Sword's station check point. In a subversion, his face is immediately added to the PMC's blacklist, rendering that disguise useless. This is played even straighter if you notice someone (later revealed to be Scarabs) in a trench coat and hat following Snake, who immediately disappears every time you investigate. His facial disguise was not the greatest, it must be said, since it was simply a de-aged version of his own face. At least he took off the bandanna... However if he dons a different face camo (Drebin, the Colonel, etc), carries no weapons, and lets the guards pat him down, the guards white list him as a non-threat and proceed to ignore him. |

The second armor that you get for your agents in the X-COM: UFO Defense mod XCOM Files is a leather coat (the first is just a basic suit, befitting the G-Man aesthetic). It's technically better than the basic armor, providing a bare minimum of protection, but it's not much better. It is, however, the only armor that agents can wear on a non-arctic, non-tropical infiltration missions. | |

Hilariously, Iron Man used this disguise once in an early adventure, in about the most implausible scenario one can imagine for maintaining this ruse. Clad in his original, bulky grey armor, his trenchcoat-and-fedora disguise is evidently sufficient to elude all suspicion while travelling to Asia to take on the Mandarin on a commercial airline flight from New York! He opens the door and bails out of the plane over China. (Admittedly, this was before Iron Man's armor was shown as capable of long-range flight, but you'd think Tony Stark would own an airplane or two, at least.) | |

In the same episode, there is a Contractor who is an industrial spy and who has the same style of dress. Kurosawa accidentally takes the Contractor's trenchcoat, thinking that it's his own.

Even Godzilla used this trope once, in Marvel's licensed series. To evade pursuers, the Kenny of this series dresses the temporarily-shrunken Godzilla in a hat and trenchcoat. Admittedly, it only works for about two minutes, at night, but it was enough to fool two criminals, who attempt to mug Godzilla (yeah, that goes about as well as you'd expect.)note Godzilla, King of the Monsters #19 (1978) | |

In the Rugrats episode "Murmur on the Ornery Express," a tall dark stranger dressed this way boards the train the main cast is riding, initially only seen in silhouette or shadow. When Chuckie's beloved teddy bear Wawa goes missing, the babies suspect the stranger, whom they refer to as the "Shadow Guy," as having stolen Wawa due to him appearing to hold the bear while in silhouette/shadow. Near the end, it turns out the tall dark stranger was actually Jonathan, who snuck aboard the train to help get Charlotte's work done so she could spend more time with the family, and the shape the babies thought was Wawa turned out to be Jonathan's cell phone. | |

Deus Ex: Human Revolution's Adam Jensen wears an awesome black leather longcoat with a cool-looking floral print on the shoulders, but unlike J.C. he doesn't have any justification for it - nobody else wears onenote While he wore the coat before he was turned into a cyborg, the new coat (the old one was destroyed) was designed specifically for Adam: it includes magnets that align the sleeves and torso portion with the ports for his Typhoon weapon system, so that he can launch a few pounds of steel balls at his opponents without also completely shredding his longcoat. There is an implication that he's using the coat to at least attempt to be somewhat inconspicuous: an augmented human is not unusual in 2027, but many of Adam's augmentations are military-grade, and prototypes or bleeding-edge technology at that, and he also carries military weaponry and wears body armor all the time (under the coat), so he's likely trying to avoid drawing a lot of attention. At least he takes it off when on serious infiltration missions in favor of a sleeveless combat vest. | |

The Spy of Team Fortress 2 normally wears a fancy tailored suit befitting the game's 60's spy movie aesthetic. Some years after release, he was given a heavy trenchcoat as a craftable cosmetic item, alongside a wide brimmed fedora. He is profoundly obvious while wearing these as they bulk up his outline significantly and offer the option of paint highlights on the belts to stand out even more. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Pinkie Pie combines this disguise with a pair of groucho glasses and a bale of hay to disguise herself in "Party Of One". It fails to make her inconspicuous or hide her identity at all because she is Pinkie Pie. In "The Times, They Are A-Changeling", Spike wears a trenchcoat, a hat, and dark sunglasses to avoid getting swamped by fans when he visits the Crystal Empire. When Twilight points out that it isn't a very good disguise, Spike adds a bright red afro wig to the ensemble. And the disguise actually works! Initially, the streets are deserted, so Spike decides he doesn't need the disguise anymore—and as soon as he takes it off, his fans appear out of nowhere to swarm around him. |

Deus Ex's J.C. Denton wears a blue trenchcoat everywhere, as does his brother Paul. Villain Walton Simmons wears a black one. Of course, this makes some sense for missions where he's walking the streets, as many civilian NPCs are wearing them as well (they seem to have made a bit of a comeback in 2052), but you'd think he'd choose something less conspicuous when infiltrating an enemy base. Lampshaded by Agent Navarre early on. Deus Ex: Human Revolution's Adam Jensen wears an awesome black leather longcoat with a cool-looking floral print on the shoulders, but unlike J.C. he doesn't have any justification for it - nobody else wears onenote While he wore the coat before he was turned into a cyborg, the new coat (the old one was destroyed) was designed specifically for Adam: it includes magnets that align the sleeves and torso portion with the ports for his Typhoon weapon system, so that he can launch a few pounds of steel balls at his opponents without also completely shredding his longcoat.

The Hands of Orlac: When Orlac sneaks out of the house to investigate Vasseur's crime, he wears a dark overcoat and hat. Even though this is the 1920s when such dress was standard for men, he still stands out like a sore thumb as he is wearing a very dark heavy coat on a bright and sunny day. | |

Discussed and lampshaded in Imaginary Seas. Percy puts on the Nemean Lion's pelt in the form of the trenchcoat he wore as a teenager while snooping around Deimos Island in search of Hephaestus. While the protection is obviously welcome, it makes him look suspicious and feel suspicious, to the point that he thinks people would call the cops on him if he put on a pair of sunglasses. | |

Pokémon: The Series: The Team Rocket trio start doing this in the Unova saga. They most likely switched from a Paper-Thin Disguise to this when they became more competent. A Nurse Joy who works for the Pokémon League Inspection Agency also does this in the episode "Showdown at Dark City", as she goes undercover with a trench coat, fedora, sunglasses and a scarf over her face. (She even attempts to drink her tea through the scarf!) |

On an episode of Pound Puppies (2010), Niblet and Lucky use coats to sneak into a basketball stadium. Niblet hid three puppies (out of five that the crew is trying to get adopted) in his coat. Lucky hides the other two puppies in his coat, while Cookie hides Squirt and Strudel in her dress. | |

Kids Incorporated: "The Bully" - After angering a local bully, the Kid sneaks into the P*lace wearing a trenchcoat and fedora, which effectively hides him in a crowd whose median age is 13. Recycled in the episode "Karate Kids" five years later, only this time, it's newcomer Robin sporting the trenchcoat for the same reason. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: When Giles suggests Buffy tail someone in "I Robot, You Jane", she sarcastically replies, "What, in dark glasses and a trenchcoat?" Gilligan Cut to Buffy following Dave in a trendy short trenchcoat and pink-framed sunglasses. Angel and Spike sometimes hide underneath their trenchcoats so they can walk around in the sun. Lampshaded when doing a Hostage for MacGuffin trade. The Big Bad jokes about how cliched it is, and says they should all be wearing trenchcoats. |

In Hey Arnold!, Helga attempted to sneak into her therapist's office wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora, only for Phoebe to spot her out. This is also standard attire for the mysterious boarder Mr. Smith, though with a bowler derby hat. In his only major episode, Smith is seen greeting Arnold's pet pig Abner who is also dressed in a trenchcoat. When Gerald was going to his first bike lesson from Arnold, he donned a trenchcoat and sunglasses, in addition to his bicycle helmet (since he didn't want anyone else to know he didn't know how to ride a bike.) To which Arnold tells him, "Lose the costume. You can't ride in a raincoat." |

Family Guy: In "Screwed the Pooch", Brian goes on the run from Peter and Carter when he allegedly impregnates the latter's prized greyhound, with Lois getting caught in the middle of the feud. In one scene, she goes to the park in a trenchcoat disguise to meet with Brian in secret. In "Prick Up Your Ears", Lois gets in hot water when she teaches sex education at the high school and is banned from the premises. As Peter tries to think of how he can get her inside to crash an abstinence lecture, the scene cuts to what looks like Peter sitting on top of Lois while wearing a long trenchcoat. It turns out they're still hiding in the bushes, and Peter suggests they sneak behind the tall man. |

Discussed in Remington Steele, and also inverted, in that the guy actually claims to be a sleuth but the trenchcoat betrays him for an amateur. He approaches the agency claiming to be an investigative reporter, but they're immediately suspicious, call up his paper and discover he writes their housekeeping advice column under the pseudonym "Helpful Harriet". | |

Occasionally played straight in Hill Street Blues, but justified because the show is set in the early Eighties when a trenchcoat was perfectly normal menswear; Captain Furillo is often seen wearing one. In fact, on one occasion it was a plot point that seeing someone wearing a trenchcoat with ski-mask wasn't enough to count as reasonable suspicion for a stop-and-search, because the city was in the grip of a particularly brutal Cold Snap at the time. | |

In The Freakmaker, Lynch wears black greatcoat with the collar turned up and and wide-brimmed black fedora pulled down low whenever he goes out to hide his facial deformities. While the hat and coat do mostly hide his deformities, the distinctiveness of the outfit, combined with his height, still makes him stand out. | |
