== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Arisa (Manga)|Arisa]]'': Tsubasa gets a jacket from Manabe when they're both stuck on the mountain. He also says [[Take Off Your Clothes]].
* Kurama gives Nana his suit jacket in ''[[Elfen Lied]]'', although this has less to do with chills and more to do with preserving her modesty.
* On ''[[Outlaw Star]]'', Gene offers his cloak to Melfina after [[Girl in Aa Box|getting her out of her box]]. Of course, in this case, it wasn't so much that she was cold as it was that they couldn't exactly have a [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|completely]] [[Please Put Some Clothes On|naked woman]] running around with them and still remain inconspicuous.
* In ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', Simon wraps Nia in his [[Badass Longcoat]] after {{spoiler|rescuing her from [[Cosmic Horror|Anti-Spiral]]}}. Doubles as a [[Shirtless Scene]] and ''triples'' as a rare male [[Of Corsets Sexy]] for Simon.
* Lelouch gives his Zero cape to {{spoiler|Euphemia}} in the island episode of ''[[Code Geass]]'' while her clothes dry out. Later, in ''R2'', Lelouch gives his jacket to his personal [[Action Girl]] Kallen, who has been running around in a [[Playboy Bunny]] suit since the beginning of the season. Certain shippers went [[Squee]].
* In the first episode of ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate the Combat Butler]]'', Hayate gives his jacket to Nagi when she's freezing. Subverted in chapter 262: {{spoiler|Athena tells Hayate she's cold, and he offers her his jacket, completely oblivious to her subtext - she wants him to give her a cuddle. He catches on eventually.}}
** Although not quite implied that it's because she's cold, Hinagiku is seen wearing a male's (possibly Hayate's) jacket as she runs from the beach where she's just played beach volleyball, so she's in a bikini.
* In ''[[Beauty Pop]]'' Kiri spills coffee on her sweater on a chilly day and Narumi gives her his heavy uniform jacket on the way home.
Line 36:
* ''[[Inuyasha]]'' finds an excuse to give Kagome his fire-rat cloak every once in a while. The cloak is magically fire-proof and knife-proof, so the trope can be played straight even when Kagome is fully dressed.
** [[Inuyasha]] gives Kagome his kimono repeatedly over the course of the show, but never because she was cold - the kimono functions as armor, so usually he gives it to her as protection, although he did give it to her once when her clothes had been stolen.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'': Yugi does this for Anzu/Téa when they're trapped in the Arctic-like sector of Noa's virtual world. The two blush and turn shy for a few seconds.
** And a non-romantic version when Kaiba drapes his trenchcoat over the sleeping Mokuba.
* Miyako and Will from ''[[Private Prince]]'' invoke this {{spoiler|when they get reconciled after having broken up.}} [[Justified Trope]] as Will's clothes has been soaked with cold water {{spoiler|after Miyako's [[Almighty Mom]] went [[Mama Bear]] on him.}}
* The first ''[[Ghost in Thethe Shell]]'' movie has Batou draping his jacket over the shoulders of his partner, Major Kusanagi, after the fight in the shallow pool with a ghost-hacked perp, which she used her thermoptic camouflage for (which in the context of this movie meant that she was practically naked).
** In ''Innocence'', Batou silently gives his jacket to the [[Sex Bot]] that Motoko's consciousness is currently inhabiting, and she accepts with a minor comment. This serves as a meaningful [[Call Back]] to the first movie, but it also serves the purpose of allowing the viewer to easily distinguish Motoko from the dozens of identical gynoids in the scene.
* ''[[Crusher Joe]]'' has a rare female to female (from male) version. Joe and [[Action Girl|Alfin]] have finally located the [[MacGuffin Girl]], who's been in cold-sleep the whole movie. While Joe gives cover fire, Alfin picks up the girl, after first liberating a lab coat ("Give me that you pervert!") from one of the doctors.
Line 49:
== Fan Fiction ==
* In ''[[The Green Hornet]]'' fanfic ''Bad Medicine'', the Green Hornet notices that the narrator is shaking from both cold and shock {{spoiler|she had just killed the man who had abducted and tortured her in self defense}} and, like the gentleman he is, drapes his trademark green overcoat over her shoulders.
* In the ''[[Kaichou wa Maid Sama-sama]]'' fanfic ''[[Seduction (Fanfic)|Seduction]]'', Tora gives Sarakshi his coat after he sees her shiver from the cold while standing in the window.
 
 
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* ''[[Tremors (Film)|Tremors]]''. When the two male heroes and the heroine are trapped overnight on some rocks by the graboids, one of the male heroes gives his coat to the heroine.
** If you watch the scene carefully, it's actually hero #2 who gives her hero #1's coat; he's playing matchmaker for her and hero #1.
* In ''[[Quantum of Solace (Film)|Quantum of Solace]]'', James gives his jacket to Cami when they're stuck in an underground pit and she's in a skimpy [[Little Black Dress]].
* Cal gives his coat to Rose in ''[[Titanic (Film)|Titanic]]'' (justified since it was night in the middle of the North Atlantic in April and she'd been slogging through freezing seawater). Unfortunately, he forgot {{spoiler|he put the Heart of the Ocean in it...}}
* In ''Under the Rainbow'', Chevy Chase's character gives his suit jacket to Carrie Fisher's ([[Fan Service|very scantily-clad]]) character when they get [[Locked in Aa Freezer]].
* One of the few tropes played straight and serious in ''[[Spaceballs (Film)|Spaceballs]]'', with Lone Starr offering his jacket to Vespa. She asks if he will be cold, and he replies that cold never bothers him. [[Hypocritical Humor|Then he shivers]].
* John Dillinger does this twice in ''[[Public Enemies]]''. The first time he gives a bank teller the gang abducted as a hostage his coat and hat just before they dump her in the countryside. The second time he gives Billie his coat when they leave the dance hall where they met for the first time and she is shivering because her own coat is thin (and cheap).
* ''[[The Rocketeer (Filmfilm)|The Rocketeer]]'': The [[Big Bad]] has captured the [[Love Interest]] and is taking her to his [[Global Airship]] in the middle of the night. He asks her if she's cold. She says no. He asks if she's sure. She turns her head in disgust.
** It also doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for Jenny, the [[Love Interest]], as she's in [[Damsel in Distress|a pretty hopeless situation]] and still manages to give the villain a pretty big [[Parenthetical Swearing|damn you to Hell]]. Her response when the [[Big Bad]] offers the coat?
{{quote| '''Jenny:''' I'd rather freeze.}}
Line 70:
* In ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]: The Movie'', Justin offers his jacket to Alex in the infamous campfire scene. Given that they're ''brother and sister'', this only adds to the [[UST]]/[[Relationship Writing Fumble]]/[[Brother-Sister Incest]] their relationship is built on.
** A bit of a [[Subverted Trope|subversion]], as she actually refuses the jacket.
* ''[[Sherlock Holmes (Filmfilm)|Sherlock Holmes]]''. In ''A Game of Shadows'', Moriarty actually places a fur coat around Holmes' shoulders when he sits down for their chess game. Just another [[Ho Yay]] moment in a movie that's full of them...
* In the first [[The X -Files|X-Files]] movie, ''[[The X -Files (Filmfilm)|Fight the Future]]'', Mulder wraps Scully in his coat after rescuing her from the cyro chamber.
* [[Thor (Filmfilm)|Thor]] gives Jane his jacket before he storms the SHIELD base, having noticed it may rain.
 
 
== Literature ==
* An interesting variation occurs in ''[[Goth Girl Rising]]'' by Barry Lyga. After Fanboy and his mom come to get Kyra from the police station, there's a scene where he comments on how cold she must be, but rather than offering his coat, he gives her his hat. (This [[It Makes Sense in Context|makes sense when you remember that she shaved her head earlier in the book.]]) Leads to a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] later when he tells her that his change in personality was because of her and she says that's even better than him giving her his hat.
* In ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' Edward gives Bella his jacket in a cold restaurant. To be fair, he is waiting for her to go into shock after [[Attempted Rape|nearly being raped]] and [[Our Vampires Are Different|it's not like he would notice the cold anyway]].
* In the [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novels, the Doctor destroys his home planet and [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia|loses his memory]]. His TARDIS at the time also happens to be a [[Deadpan Snarker|rather]] [[Jerkass|unkind]] [[Spaceship Girl|young woman]] named [[Ironic Nickname|Compassion]], and she decides the best solution to the problem is to leave him alone on Earth for over a hundred years. Fitz, his other companion and [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Heterosexual Life Partner]]<ref>well, "heterosexual" is pretty inaccurate on both sides, as they're both [[Bi the Way|bi]], but Bisexual Life Partner doesn't sound right</ref>, puts his leather coat and [[Nice Hat|fedora]] on the unconscious Doctor before Compassion ditches him.
* In ''King Hereafter'' by Dorothy Dunnett, Thorfinn gives his cloak to Groa before they go outside--but they're in the middle of [[The Masochism Tango]], and the conversation ends abruptly after she pushes his [[Berserk Button]].
* In the beginning of ''[[The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in Aa Ship of Her Own Making]]'' by [[Catherynne M. Valente (Creator)|Catherynne M Valente]], The heroine, September, is given a velvet smoking jacket by a Green Wind in the form of a fine gentleman. The jacket is very eager to please and fits her immediately. Throughout the course of the story it becomes various things, mainly waterproofing for the titular ship, and lengthens into a dress when September loses hers.
* Found, of all places, in ''From Baghdad With Love'', a (true) story otherwise about dogs rescued and adopted by American troops in Iraq. The narrator introduces a female war correspondent who forewent niceties such as bedrolls and blankets, sleeping on the bare ground in the same clothes all the time in order to carry more important things like her journalism equipment. He mentions that in her notes she often woke up with a Marine poncho draped over her.
* Played with in ''The Crocodile on the Sandbank'', the first [[Amelia Peabody]] mystery. Amelia finds a young woman who has fainted in the streets of Rome and is appalled that none of the men nearby have invoked this trope. Amelia proceeds to confiscate the coat of the nearest man (insulting him in the process), and uses it to cover the woman.
Line 86:
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': Angel lends Buffy his coat (because she's just the last hope of humanity, she can't be expected to dress herself adequately) and Xander gets pissed, because he [[Genre Savvy|knows what it implies]].
** Spike also does this for Drusilla in their first appearance. This doesn't make a lot of sense, given that neither of them have body heat.
*** Dude, it's [[Cloudcuckoolander|Drusilla]]. It doesn't have to make sense. It just has to make her happy.
*** It was shown in a later episode of ''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]'' that severely weakened vampires, like ones that haven't drunk blood in a long time, can feel cold.
** Xander (having taken on the personality of a macho soldier due to a spell) does this for Cordelia with his army shirt in "Halloween", foreshadowing their future relationship.
** Subverted when Faith first arrives in Los Angeles and a sleazy looking guy (clearly a pimp) offers his 'protection'. Faith shivers and when the guy is taking off his leather jacket to fulfil this trope she beats him up while his arms are restricted.
Line 102:
* In one episode of ''[[Ashes to Ashes]]'', Gene Hunt sees that Alex is shivering and looking unwell. His remedy for that is to wrap her in his coat and drag her downstairs to a bar (resulting in her looking rather ridiculous as she's already wearing her own jacket). Of course, this being Gene, he grabs his coat right back when he's called away.
* Happens in an episode of ''[[My Three Sons]]''. Steve goes to an office stag dinner, which starts off as a rather dignified affair--until a go-go dancer in a tasselled bikini shows up to entertain the group. The cops show up to put an end to the party, leaving the poor woman unable to obtain her (apparently more decent) street clothes. Steve does the gentlemanly thing and gives her his jacket to cover herself as they escape the party.
* In the ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (TV series)|Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]'' episode "Hilda and Zelda: The Teenage Years," Gordie offers his jacket to Aunt Zelda while she is disguised as a fellow teenager. She ''is'' cold and takes the gesture at face value, oblivious to the romantic implications of the trope; she's surprised when Gordie later starts making advances on her.
* Clark Kent has done this on a few occasions on ''[[Smallville]]'' thanks to the fact that he almost always wears a jacket. Most rescuees were girls, but one was a little boy who had been aged into a teenager, tearing his clothes.
* On ''[[Boy Meets World]]'', Cory does this for Topanga at one point. The jacket ends up becoming a minor plot point in that episode.
Line 144:
== Anime and Manga ==
* At the end of "Someday in the Rain" in ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi|The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', Kyon acquired not one but ''two'' girls' uniform jackets while he was napping in the cold club room. Earlier in the episode, Mikuru gave him her scarf as well.
* [[Gender Inverted Trope|Gender inverted]] in ''[[Eden of the East]]'', where Saki offers an amnesiac man named Akira her coat as thanks for helping her get out of some trouble with White House security...Oh, and because [[Naked Onon Arrival|he was naked]].
* ''Max Jenius'' has one of her [[Bridge Bunnies]] cover him with her uniform's jacket in his sleep, in a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGbFo4_o6oQ Macross Seven omake] episode. Because he's just THAT awesome.
 
 
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* Inverted in ''[[The Incredible Hulk (Filmfilm)|The Incredible Hulk]]''. Liv Tyler stays well dressed throughout the movie (when she gets soaked while [[Wet Sari Scene|wearing a white shirt]], the camera studiously shows nothing), but Edward Norton keeps incurring [[Clothing Damage]]. At one point she lends him her coat, and it gets trashed. It's adorable.
* Mocked in ''[[Wet Hot American Summer]]''. Two camp counselors are out on an awkward date, and the boy offers the girl his jacket. She puts it on and he says "I'm gonna need that back," which she interprets as playful flirting. He insists: "No, seriously. Give it back right now."
* Not exactly subverted, but sort of twisted in ''[[Rebel Without a Cause]]'', when Jim offers his jacket to Plato, who isn't female.
Line 166:
* In the ''[[That 70s Show]]'' episode "Ice Shack", when Kelso is trying to impress Jackie and get back together with her, Eric and Donna deliberately demonstrate this to give Kelso an idea. However, when Jackie immediately replies, "I'm cold, too," Kelso completely misses the point and replies, "Well, Jackie, I can't control the weather!" Fez is happy to oblige, though.
* An especially amusing example on ''[[Leverage]]''. Nate is actually being "judged" by a third party on how well he does on his date with Sophie, {{spoiler|with whom he's already the [[Official Couple]]}}. The third party almost knocks him down a few points for sitting Sophie in a chill, but [[Genre Savvy]] Nate invokes this trope by draping his coat around her shoulders. Once the third party is gone, Sophie quickly passes the coat to Nate, who immediately puts it back on.
* In the ''[[Friends (TV)|Friends]]'' episode "The One With The Proposal", Chandler and Monica are out on a date. Feeling cold (considering she's wearing a thin dress), Monica asks if she can borrow Chandler's jacket. Unknown to her, he has an engagement ring hidden in the pocket but of course can't tell her and makes up the excuse that if he gives her his jacket, ''he'' will be cold. Subverted in another episode, "The One Where They’re Up All Night", where the crew are all standing on the roof waiting for a comet to appear. Everyone wants to go home and Monica says that she and Chandler have to go because "Chandler's getting chilly." Chandler says "No I'm not." Joey says "Then why are you wearing Monica's jacket?" (Chandler is wearing a pink jacket with the hood up). Finally Chandler insists, "Because it's FLATTERING!"
* In an episode of ''[[NCIS (TV)|NCIS]]'', Gibbs is talking to a young couple at night (a marine fell through the roof of their car). Gibbs asks the girl if she is cold, and she says yes. Instead of giving her ''his'' jacket, he yanks the boy's jacket off, and gives it to her. Who says chivalry is dead?
** The girl was daughter of a Marine, and the guy was a total jerk. Gibbs was trying to teach the guy about chivalry.
* In ''[[The Office]]'' (US), Dwight is comforting a crying Pam and instinctively starts to do this, before realizing that they're inside and it's actually a little hot. He ties the sweater around his waist instead.
** In "New Leads" Andy and Erin are at the dump looking for the new sales leads that were accidentally thrown away. Andy is cold and Erin takes off her coat and puts it on him claiming she has "warm blood". This leads to them having their first kiss.
* In the ''[[Curb Your Enthusiasm]]'' episode "The Korean Bookie", Larry takes a jacket from a woman (though it's his jacket, and she took it without asking).
* A variation occurs in the ''[[Firefly]]'' pilot, when River comes out of the [[Girl in Aa Box|cryo storage box]] naked and obviously freezing and shivering. Despite all the male characters present, the only person who gives River a coat -- or ''any'' clothing -- is [[Hooker Withwith a Heart of Gold|Inara]].
** In their defense, none of the male characters had their jackets on hand.
* A great subversion in ''[[Men Behaving Badly]]'' where Gary is attempting a romance a woman who isn't his long term girlfriend. While taking a romantic walk along Worthing beach he notices she's cold and starts to remove it to give to her in a chivalrous gesture. He gets it about a 1/4 way off before realising how cold it really is and suggesting they go inside instead.
Line 184:
 
== Videogames ==
* ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'', Unlimited Blade Works route. Rin wakes up after dozing off to find that her Servant Archer put his coat around her to keep her warm. {{spoiler|His [[Face Heel Turn]] is in the next scene.}}
** Of course, {{spoiler|he remains loyal to Rin. It's ''Shiro'' he wants to kill, and needs to be free of her orders to do it.}}
* ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', Officer Branley gives Sadie his Police-issue jacket. Sadie objects that she isn't cold, but Officer Branley points out that the jacket is bullet-resistant.
* Jenon tries to offer his coat to Siskier in ''[[Blaze Union]]'' when the party is searching a wintry mountain, since she's wearing what amounts to [[Stripperiffic|a glorified bikini and garters]]. She tells him no thank you so that she'll have the excuse to cuddle up with Byff the immensely fluffy tiger instead.
 
 
== Western Animation ==
* In the ''[[Gargoyles (Animation)|Gargoyles]]'' episode "Eye of the Beholder," Fox comes out of her monstrous [[Werewolf]]-like form and collapses to the ground, apparently naked from what we can see. (Earlier we saw her clothes rip when she first transformed.) [[Unholy Matrimony|Her fiancé Xanatos]] is there, but he doesn't really have anything to cover her with; Elisa, who is wearing a ''[[Beauty and The Beast]]''-[[Shout-Out|style]] gown for Halloween, takes off the skirt (she's wearing something underneath) and gives it to him to wrap her in.
