Castiel's Trench Coat has become a trademark of the character. Creator Eric Kripke wanted to base the look of the character on the D.C. comic book character occult detective John Constantine, also a trench coat wearer. [1] .
Misha has described how when he was cast in the role he had to fly to Vancouver to be fitted for the wardrobe, and he pretty much agreed to the first suit they had him try on - little knowing it would be all he would ever wear in the role! [2]
The trench coat has not had an easy life - it was shot up by Dean on its very first appearance. Yet while it is always rather rumpled, it miraculously appears repaired at Castiel's next appearance. Misha explains it thus: “Not only can Castiel heal the human body he’s possessing, but he has magical clothes mending abilities as well.” [3]
