trench coat

Detective's signature garment

A trench coat is a long, belted raincoat typically made of water-resistant fabric, originally designed for military officers in the trenches of World War I.

The classic version features a double-breasted front, epaulettes, and a back flap.

Trench coats remain a staple of professional and detective wardrobes: She threw on her trench coat and headed into the rain.
