{{trope}}

 

A [[Rule of Cool|cool-looking]] way of carrying your coat. It's not only used to indicate that a character is cool, but also a certain amount of casualness and self-confidence.

== Anime and Manga ==

* ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'': Spike did this a few times at least.

** He does the same thing in the 10th Anniversary Movie

* [[Super Robot Wars Compact 2|Kyosuke Nanbu]] in ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]] [[The Anime of the Game|The Inspector]]''

 

== Film - Live Action ==

* In ''[[Twins]]'' (the [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]/Danny Devito film), Danny gets them matching sets of cool white suits. They simultaneously flip their jackets, with Arnold's jacket floating over Danny.

 

 

== Video Games ==

** Kanji does this in the ''The Golden'' opening animation.

* The Commissar from the original ''[[Dawn of War]]'' keeps his coat draped over his shoulders at all time. Particularly jarring in that he was introduced in an expansion called "Winter Assault," where it makes sense for him to actually ''wear'' the coat.

* ''[[King of Fighters]]'': [[Art of Fighting|King]] will occasionally remove her jacket and drape it over her shoulder as one of her [[Victory Pose|victory poses.]]
