my brother & i often ague over what constitutes a coat.
he says it the thickness of the garment. long or short, it doesn't matter.
i say it's the length. it has to come down to your knees, or at least mid-thigh, that's a coat.
if it's at your hip area or just below your butt, it's a jacket. if it's a lighter material; that's a "light jacket." if it's thick & heavy; that's a "heavy jacket."
