  • SynonymオーバーコートNeutralLoanword for the long, heavy coat worn outermost against the cold; more strongly suggests length and thickness than 「コート」.
  • Synonym外套がいとうWrittenSino-Japanese word for a coat or overcoat; now sounds old-fashioned and appears mostly in literature, so it belongs to written prose.

For a coat or overcoat, 「コート」 is the default choice. Use 「オーバーコート」 for a long, thick cold-weather overcoat; 「外套」 is an old-fashioned literary word, and 「オーバー」 a dated colloquial short form.
