The thing is, there technically is no real sleeveless option for trench coats like sleeveless robes or jackets, and I'm fairly certain the devs will refuse to modify/add options to any vet-reward costume pieces.|

This, sadly, also means that we will only have leather trench coats, only three types of samurai each samurai armor gear, the boxer's costume set will never see additions, and the sad part is, by adding to these, it could make the wait of getting these costume pieces a bit more worth the wait.
On the otherhand, I'd love to see additions either unlocked or added to the normal game, but it's unlikely.

Yeah it sucks. And it's not just Vet reward stuff that could use more textures/options, the booster packs and unlockables have a bunch of stuff that could get new textures and re-purposed.
Branching Paragon Police Department Epic Archetype, please!
I see the reasoning behind not spending time adding to vet-reward costume pieces, but I'd make an exception for trenchcoats, since they are a) very commonly used, even by enemy groups now, and b) as the 3 month reward they're not exactly hard to get.
I say they should just add a bunch of new trenchcoats and make the category open for everyone, with that one specific leather trenchcoat reserved as a veteran reward, like what they did with wings. That way, they have a legitimate public category so they can justify working on it.

Well, then they should just add resistance and praetorian ppd shoulders and belts to trenchcoats category anyway.
There is no reason those pieces are missing, at least not a clipping reason.
I hope they give us new shiny leather open trenchcoats soon.
I love the one Mother Mayhem is wearing.
I'd like to see a "popped collar" trenchcoat like Protean and the Syndicate lieutenants have, as well as the big PPD force gloves. Maybe a PPD deflector shield combat aura that makes the honeycomb effect flash over your body when you're hit.

Definitely yes. Ever since unlocking trench coats have I longed to have a higher collar option, looks that much cooler and mysterious.|

Non-leather trench coats would be very nice as well considering how many kinds of trench coat you can get.
I can't be bothered to think of something amazingly wise or witty to show how much of a genius I am, just take my word for it.
Fun Fact: The first appearance of the popped collar trench coat was actually the Dark Watcher in the Rikti War Zone. (I still can't believe he's supposed to be a dark/regen scrapper...)

Trenchcoats are lacking both resistance and praetorian ppd:
Shoulder pads
Belts
Gloves
Shoulder pads and gloves should be fully added at least in the sleeveless version, if the sleeves version is a clipping issue.
Resistance, praetorian ppb and more belts lacking should be added as well.
Most of them doesnt seem to clip even a bit.
