We call everything jackets Or Parkas, OR no thats it jackets or parkas
we have coats and cardigans and blasers and jackets too
A coat is more "formal" than a jacket, but not quite as formal as a blaser, and a cardy is a knitted version..

I call heavier ones coats and lighter ones jackets. So to me jackets are worn in the warmer months and coats in the colder.
I of course know it's not exactly correct, but it works for me.

:thumbup I agree with her agreement
Pretty darn close to what I think too.
I've always used the terms interchangeably
I wear a "jacket" when it comes down to below my ass and the sleeves hang off of my arms by a foot. I wear a "coat" when I wear something and it drags behind me like a wedding trane. :willy_nilly:
covering your ass should be a crime
