Coat (Clothing)A coat is an item of clothing. Confusingly, what was once called a coat is now commonly referred to as a jacket, as in a dinner jacket, although the original meaning is still used in tailoring—to mean the upper part of a suit, for example. What is now commonly called a coat—an outer layer of clothing such as a trench coat—is, in tailoring terms, correctly called an overcoat, since it is worn over the coat. A coat or rug is also a covering for domesticated animals; see, for example, dog coat.
