black trench coats carry a working-class connotation.

 seems akin to stating everyone wearing a blue pinstriped suit is in the mafia or a banker.
<smiles> Considering I am prematurely gray haired ( hey I am only in my mid 40s  ) and the fact that is is not a 100.00 wilson leather goods or what have you piece mill coat, the mafioso part would probably be more beleiveable.
Seriously, the coat is treated yearly and still could pass for very lightly worn even though years old. I was just curious if many of in the larger metro areas considered it fashionably proper/respectable today.

27 now, and I've worn a black Chaps db trench since I first came to the city in 99.not too many young men (30s and under) sport the trench coat during the rainy season

When I see a black leather trench coat (or any leather coat that hits below mid-thigh, for that matter), I think "Steven Seagal." Â And not the cool, young guy who kicked butt in "Above The Law," but the paunchy, middle-age guy stuck doing Mountain Dew commercials and straight-to-DVD movies with Asian directors. Â That said, if you like how it looks on you, don't let the opinions of anonymous posters on an internet forum tell you otherwise.I am just curious about the black leather trench coat?

I have one that I still wear (or used too, possibly depending on overall replys and possible links to them now being passe' )
You mean, The Executive? I wear a tan macintosh. Very simple, looks a lot like this. It was a hand-me-down from my father - I get more compliments on it than any other coat I have. Just goes to show ya...But I do have a more streamlined black beltelss SB raincoat that I like wear a lot in the wintertime.
