== Straight examples
=== Anime and Manga ===
* ''[[Arisa]]'': Tsubasa gets a jacket from Manabe when they're both stuck on the mountain. He also says [[Take Off Your Clothes]].
Line 79:
* 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 (novel)|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>
* In ''King Hereafter'' by Dorothy Dunnett, Thorfinn gives his cloak to Groa before they go
* In the beginning of ''[[The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making]]'' by [[Catherynne M. Valente|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.
Line 102:
** In an earlier episode, Donna wears Josh's coat to go outside because it's warmer than hers. He doesn't give it to her in this instance, however; she just takes it and he complains to no avail.
* 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
* 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.

== Variations
=== 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.
Line 172:
** 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 a Box|cryo storage box]] naked and obviously freezing and shivering. Despite all the male characters present, the only person who gives River a
** 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.
