Trench Coats

Why is it that whenever I put on a trench coat I feel so much more powerful? Is it the iconic figures you think of whenever you see a trench coat? Like Dick Tracy or Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca or Peter Petrelli from Heroes? I don't mean that I feel more powerful in the sense of being a superhero or anything like that. I don't feel impervious or stronger. I just feel safer and more confident. But that might just be me. I mean some people can associate trench coats with perverts and flashers. And there are many people who feel that trench coats are sexy, especially when the person (usually a woman) is wearing nothing underneath of it. But like I said, that's not me. I'm the person who feels like trench coat wearers represent the good in the world, not just a good private eye, but a person with the confidence to be a good person. I believe that we can personify what we wear and by wearing a trench coat (in the right context), we can show our inner strength to the world. It's like wearing your heart on your sleeve, only in this case, it's more like wearing your confidence in an open forum. Hopefully we can all be trench coat wearers, in the metaphorical sense that I'm trying to get across to you. Because trench coat wearers are here to stay and when worn right, that is a very good thing...
