Compare [[Coat Over the Shoulder]]. Not to be confused with [[Badass Longcoat]], which often resembles a cape but is worn normally.
 
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
* Colonel Roy Mustang in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' often does this before going into full-bore flesh-roasting [[Badass]] mode.
** Scar does this too on occasion. (If I'm not mistaken.)
* Kazuo Kiriyama does this in the ''[[Battle Royale]]'' manga; His gakuran's top is inexplicably long compared to his slacks, and stays on his shoulders even when he's subjected to explosions or jumps off a cliff. And although it starts out as [[media:kiriyamas_normal_jacket_5320kiriyamas normal jacket 5320.jpg|a regular school jacket]], by mid-manga it starts doing things [[media:kiriyamas_ridiculous_jacket_9318kiriyamas ridiculous jacket 9318.jpg|like this]], and then near the end it's basically [[media:kiriyamas_ridiculous_jacket_2_4511kiriyamas ridiculous jacket 2 4511.jpg|a separate living entity that perches on his shoulders]].
* Mifune the bodyguard from ''[[Soul Eater]]'' wore a coat like this both in his first and last battle against Black*Star.
* Hibari Kyoya from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' pulls this off all while whacking enemies with tonfas {{spoiler|sometimes attached with whips}}. He still manages to keep his coat on at the end of the battle. Perhaps he actually pinned his coat onto his shirt? Either way, it gives more leeway to make his entrances more awesome with his sleeves flying about flashing his disciplinary committee badge, which he is the president of.
Line 21 ⟶ 22:
* Seiichi Yukimura from ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]''.
* [[Black Jack]] is one of the older manga examples, his flapping coat being a big part of his signature look.
* Howl in ''[[Film/HowlsHowl's Moving Castle (anime)|HowlsHowl's Moving Castle]]'' starts out wearing his jacket this way. He stops wearing the cape when [[Character Development]] hits.
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 29 ⟶ 30:
* In Hornet's Sting by ''[[Derek Robinson]]'', one of the pilots wears his coat like this while pretending to be a Portuguese lord whose checkbook he found. Needless to say, played for comedy, rather than badassery.
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* On ''[[The Monkees]]'', Micky did it when he was pretending to be a big-time movie producer, along with using a cigarette holder.
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* Commissars in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' are often depicted wearing their jackets like this.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
* In [[World War II]], Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering [httphttps://wwwweb.lifearchive.org/web/20190713111641/https://time.com/imagephotography/life/50650557 was often photographed wearing his coat this way].
* In early 20th century it was customary for gentlemen to wear an overcoat outside regardless of the temperatures. Especially in Southern Europe it became customary to wear them in this manner to avoid exessiveexcessive discomfort during the summer months.
