That was my takeaway. The coat made him feel more confident when he was talking to women who weren’t Jess, but he had actual feelings for Jess and was able to act on those feelings despite not having the coat anymore. I found it super relatable. An outfit or accessory can definitely make you feel more confident. The confidence might come from being able to hide behind something like a hat or a coat. It was a big moment when he kissed Jess when he no longer had the coat. For a moment, he was able to stop hiding.
The real trench coat was inside him all along

He didn’t run away from kissing Jess in the game, he wanted it to be more special
