The Trouble with a Badass Trench Coat…

… is you can’t raise your arms above your head.  At least not if you button it up.

I’ll admit, this came up because I want a trench coat.  A badass one, that’s long and black and buttony.  I want the tails to go flapping in the breeze as I go prancing about in frozen-over Minneapolis pretending I’m Neo from the Matrix.  And I found one, too, at the department store.  It was perfect – except some manufacturer decided it would be a good idea to cut the sleeves in such a way that your arms are literally pinned to your sides when you put it on.

How am I supposed to run around beating up Hugo Weaving clones if I can’t use my arms?
