jacket
Let an agent identify jacket types by construction and use, explain materials and care, relay sizing, labelling and safety standards for protective jackets, and separate jackets from coats and from other senses of the word.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent identify jacket types by construction and use, explain materials and care, relay sizing, labelling and safety standards for protective jackets, and separate jackets from coats and from other senses of the word.
A garment for the upper body with sleeves that opens at the front, worn over other clothing for warmth, protection, work or formality, usually reaching the hips or waist; jackets range from suit and sports jackets to leather, denim, padded, waterproof and protective jackets, and the word is also used for outer coverings of other things.
What it is for: Warmth, protection and dress for the upper body.
