coatDefinition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary Jump to: navigation, searchFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A coat is a long garment worn by both men and women, for warmth or fashion. Coats typically have long sleeves and open down the front, closing by means of buttons, zippers, hook-and-loop fasteners, toggles, a belt, or a combination of these. Other possible ornaments include collars and shoulder straps. History of the word 'coat'The Persians, based in what is now Iran, introduced two garments to the history of clothing: trousers and seamed fitted coats. Coat is one of the earliest clothing category words in English, attested as far back as the early Middle Ages. (See also Clothing terminology.) An early use of coat in English is coat of mail (chainmail), a tunic-like garment of metal rings, usually knee- or mid-calf length. These were very strong and could withstand snake bites. The medieval and renaissance coat (generally spelled cote by costume historians) is a midlength, sleeved men's outer garment, fitted to the waist and buttoned up the front, with a full skirt: in its essentials, not unlike the modern coat. By the eighteenth century, overcoats had begun to supplant capes and cloaks as outer wear, and by the mid-twentieth century the terms jacket and coat became confused for recent styles; the difference in use is still maintained for older garments. ..

GNU Free Documentation License Coat to be used for traveling and to be worn with suit? Q. I'm going to be traveling about 25 weeks this year. Often times I'll be wearing a suit, but sometimes I'll also be wearing casual clothing. I need a coat (I'm not talking about the suit coat) that will keep the rain off of me and keep me at least a little bit warm. Also, the coat has to be light weight and look nice. Do you have any suggestions on what type of coat I should buy? I've been thinking of buying a trench coat, but I don't want to look like a pervert. Asked by steven - Sun Oct 8 14:10:07 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'd go with the trench coat, probably one with a removable lining for year around use. Answered by MUD - Sun Oct 8 14:28:09 2006 Where can I order a dog coat for my collie that offers a matching coat for the owner? Q. I saw the set in a catalog. They are plaid and they offered two/three color choices. It featured outdoor clothing but very trendy and upscale. I would buy it online, but I am having a difficult time finding that item. Also, not easy to find dog coats/sweaters in XL. Anyway, it was a coat for the dog and a matching coat for the owner. It was impressive because it was plaid and a set. I will appreciate any and all suggestions as I continue my search. Thanks so much!
