| The jacket is usually a hip-length garment, while the coat can be of any length. Garibaldi is a short, red-coloured, military cut jacket worn by women in the second half of the 19th century. The walking coat is a knee length coat for women meant to be worn over the trousers. 7/8 is a woman's coat, several inches shorter than the skirt length currently in vogue. |
