A jacket is a transliteration of the English word "jacket," and it's a general term for short-sleeved tops worn by both men and women. Since its inception, the style of jackets has evolved in countless ways. Different eras, political and economic environments, occasions, people, ages, and professions have all greatly influenced the design of jackets. In the history of world clothing, jackets have developed into a very large family.
1. A jacket is a short-sleeved top. It has a turn-down collar, a front opening, and often uses snap buttons (button-and-loop fasteners) or zippers for ease of work and movement. The word "jacket" is a Chinese word created by Chinese people based on the pronunciation of the English word. Because these items originated abroad and were introduced to China, and China didn't originally have such items, there was naturally no such word.
2. An overcoat, also known as a coat, is the outermost garment worn on the body. Overcoats are generally larger, with long sleeves, and can cover other clothing on the upper body when worn. Overcoats have buttons or zippers at the front for easy fastening. As society continues to develop and cultures from different countries become increasingly intertwined, China has also produced many transliterated foreign loanwords. This can be translated as: short outer garment, overcoat.
