Me posting on fashion - now that's a novelty!^^

I disagree on the trench coat description:



 A trench coat or trenchcoat is a  raincoat   made of  waterproof   heavy-duty cotton   gabardine   drill   or  poplin, or  leather. It generally has a removable  insulated   lining ,  raglan sleeves, and the classic versions come in various lengths ranging from mid-calf to above the knee. It was originally a military item of clothing and shows this influence in its styling.

 This garment is traditionally double-breasted with 10 front buttons, has wide lapels, a storm flap and pockets that button-close. The coat is belted at the waist with a self-belt, as well as having straps around the wrists that also buckle up. The coat also often has shoulder straps that button-close; those were a functional feature in a military context.

This shows that salient characteristics of trenchcoats are missing in the design of Adam's jacket.

It certainly is more jacket than coat, whether there is a name for the cut design, is beyond my knowledge.
