A trope Older Than Print: a man notices an attractive lady confronted with a puddle of water or mud. In a gesture that shows he's a true gentleman, he takes off his coat or his cloak and puts it over the puddle so that the woman can walk across without becoming wet and ruining her shoes. Given that women's shoes at the time were often quite fragile and delicate, while men's coats often were intended to be robust, warm, thick, and suitable for heavy outdoor use, and that recently-fallen rainwater was much cleaner in the days before heavy industry and ubiquitous, filth-spreading automobiles large and small, this is less crazy than it sounds. On the other hand, the ubiquity of the horse, especially in urban areas, would have made this quite a bit less attractive. In Britain, the image is very frequently associated with the story about Sir Walter Raleigh — see Real Life, below. A Dead Horse Trope, nowadays this will almost always be Played for Laughs and/or subverted. Having the coat conceal a manhole or other hazard she promptly sinks into seems to be a popular joke. Compare the slightly less dead Helping Granny Cross the Street. A Sub-Trope of Old-School Chivalry and Women Are Delicate. |

In Dragon and Slipper, Lancelot tries to pull it off as Guinevra's walking by in the garden. Unfortunately, it isn't a mud puddle, but one of the water pools in the garden, so when Guinevra steps on the cloak, she sinks into it. Lancelot lifts her out of it by her hair, tearing out a good chunk of it. | |

In "Touche, Pussycat", after Jerry falls face-first into a puddle, his protege Tuffy uses Jerry's cape to allow a passing lady mouse dry passage using the cape and Jerry's body. |

In Corpse Bride, Mayhew lays his coat over a puddle so that Victor's mother can step across it. Though in his case it's likely less that he was being chivalrous of his own accord and more like he was just following an unspoken order. | |

Rejected by Daizee Haze in her post-match promo at CHIKARA Cibernetico Increible, October 18, 1999, which is about her being frustrated with the company treating her "like a little lady!"note Daizee and Bullfight Sora had defeated Sara Del Rey and La Malcriada by disqualification due to "Castigo Excesivo" (excessive punishment) because Sara kept hitting moves on Sora and pulling her up and not going for the pin. Sara got involved in the promo and they agreed that they need to join forces after wrestling each other for so long. Sara said, "There's something going on that I think we might be perfect for." That "something" turned out to be Die Bruderschaft des Kreuzes, and they took part in the riot that marked the group's formation at the end of the 2009 Season Finale Three-Fisted Tales on November 22nd. | |

Kevin & Kell: This comic shows Frank doing this for Elanor, covering a puddle with many coats. Dorothy is a bit cynical about it since most of those 'coats' were really pelts from prey he killed. In a variant, Elanor does this for Martha, the first actually second serious love interest Elanor's son Ralph had ever had. Another variant: Douglas with Dorothy. Being a squirrel, he uses his tail. |

Hilariously — then heartwarmingly — invoked on Family Matters. Eddie's friend Waldo goes on a date with Laura's friend Maxine. He tells Eddie about the date afterwards; he placed his jacket on a mud puddle so she could cross...then picked up the jacket and placed it on her afterwards. When he realized what he'd done, he rolled in the puddle so they would match. Maxine, who is telling Laura about the date at the same time, was genuinely touched by this despite his stupidity, and they became the Beta Couple for the rest of the series. | |

Futurama: In "Parasites Lost", Fry does a more believable variation of this on his date, stepping into a puddle so he can help Leela cross it without getting her boots wet. He later does this again in "A Farewell to Arms". Being Fry, he, for reasons known only to him, instead takes off his pants, rather than his jacket. Leela reluctantly accepts his gesture...and then gets attacked by a squid living in the puddle. |

In the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "The Best Night Ever", Rarity and her date Prince Blueblood come upon a puddle. Rarity thinks Blueblood will do this for her. Instead, he takes her coat so that he can walk across on it. | |

Family Guy: In one episode, Peter Griffin sees a sidewalk mud puddle in front of a man and woman; Peter takes off his coat and says he wouldn't want their shoes all ruined. He then hands his coat to Brian and places the woman face down in the mud and the man walks over her. In "Dammit, Janet", when Stewie sings "You make me feel so young" to Janet, he pulls the shirt off another toddler and uses it to cover up a puddle so that Janet can cross it. |

Used in a slightly different way in the Belisarius Series: at one point Shakuntala and her handmaidens—disguised as dancers in elaborate clothing—have to pass through a room that has just been cleared of assassins...and is awash in blood. Her bodyguards, in order to move the women out as quickly as possible without ruining their disguises, position the bodies across the bloody floor as a bridge. Shakuntala is the only one able to cross without flinching. | |

One episode of The Smurfs (1981) had Brainy Smurf try doing this for Smurfette. She promptly sank up to her chin in the mud. | |
