We lost our trench coat privileges here in America.

Just mentioning for the good of the order™️, that the coat that a stereotypical school shooter wears is a duster, not a trench coat.

Na the duster makes you look bad ass! U jabrone

True dusters are pretty rare actually. A duster is a lightweight coat intended to be worn over clothing in dusty area to keep your clothes clean. Many coats advertised as dusters today would be either "slickers" or rain coats which are waterproof, or trenchcoats and great coats, which are designed to be warm. Dusters are neither waterproof nor warm.

Well, they called themselves the Trench Coat Mafia, that doesn't help.

We've had our share of school shooters use them to hide weapons, they are frowned upon unless you're a white chick with a pumpkin spice latte in hand.
I was just tossing a little goof out there. Glad you've got a great jacket! Nothing better than finding undeniably great product.

Isn’t that just matrix trench coats?
Like latex or “very-shiny-material-that’s-not leather-but-are-made-to-trick-you-in-to-think-it-is-leather” -trench coats?

Contrary to what many think they remember, Neo’s trench coat in the first film isn’t made of leather. It appears to be some matte tactical/performance material. Maybe even just cotton.
In fact, none of the outwear he wears in the original trilogy is leather. I don’t blame you for thinking that, though. Many of the other characters did have leather or leather-like coats.

In either case, Trinity’s pants were definitely painted on.

Excess material would hamper her performance and we must be grateful that never happened.

That's quite the belt setup Neo has there.

Yes pretty much. When I was a kid I loved the Matrix and me and my friends would all dress up im trench coats and play with Nerf guns or water guns. One of my neighbors called the cops on us because they thought we looked like the Columbine shooters.

Long as you're not sitting silently in the back of a high-school classroom, nobody cares if you're wearing a coat. Especially in the winter

I’m sure people here would be wearing them if they were as accessible to us as they are for Europeans. We have barely any good reproduction or surplus French coats in America, I’ve looked.

The Columbine people started the stigma of trench coats especially black ones

Gonna be honest with you here, I have no clue who the columbine people are

It was the first really big school shooting in America, back in the late 90s.
