trenchcoat
Long belted coat
A trenchcoat is a long, belted raincoat with military styling—typically double-breasted with epaulets, storm flaps, and a collar that can be turned up against weather.
Originally designed for British officers in World War I trenches, it became a staple of civilian outerwear and a fixture of noir detective imagery: He turned up his trenchcoat collar against the rain.
