Overcoat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An overcoat is a long coat worn over other clothing. Overcoats sometimes are mistakenly referred to as topcoats, which are short coats that end at (or more usually now above) the knee. topcoats and overcoats together are known as outercoats. topcoats are usually made of lighter weight cloth such as gabardine or covert. overcoats are made of heavier weight cloths.
