A loose overcoat is a type of outerwear garment that is typically made from heavy fabric and is designed to keep the wearer warm. The term 'loose overcoat' can refer to three different types of coats: an ULSTER, a Paletot, and a RAGLAN. An ULSTER is a long, loose-fitting coat with a belt or sash around the waist. A Paletot is a short, loose-fitting coat with a belt or sash around the waist. Lastly, a RAGLAN is a loose-fitting coat with a RAGLAN sleeve, which is a sleeve that extends in one piece to the collar, leaving a diagonal seam from the underarm to the neckline.
